Thankful

I can not even express how deeply appreciative I am of Tim Hartley. For what I was facing he was able to give me back a precious gift, my freedom! Something I don’t and will not take for granted anymore. He’s a fighter. He understands how the law works and he stands for justice. My advice to you is t...o stay straightforward, be patient, and let him work. He knows what he is talking about and knows what he is doing. He is and always will be highly recommended!

Attorney Rockwall

I recently used Tim as my attorney and he handled my case professionally and to my satisfaction for the final outcome of the case. He was knowledgeable of the court system and treated me professionally.

Marijuana Possession Case

I was arrested for Possession of Marijuana < 2 ounces along with multiple others. While the others were still working on getting paperwork filed, Mr. Hartley already opened communications with the DAs office and got me a conditional dismissal program. The 3-month program is now almost complete and th...e others arrested at the same time as me have still yet to go before a judge, much less get a program like I did. Mr. Hartley is an outstanding defense attorney with a respectful attitude, commanding presence and a very straight-forward approach. I would highly recommend him to anyone else facing charges like mine.
