Didn't get a fighter

Counselor Hartman handle a visitation case for me. Instead of fighting she took the "compromise" approach. I wanted my day in court and the judge to hear my argument. The same could of been accomplished with "mediation" for far less than $5K. If the need arises that I need a lawyer, I would find ...someone who is aggressive.

Replied last July 27, 2020

I am so sorry you were disappointed in my negotiation style. My motto is to reach resolution with "integrity and civility" in the hopes of reaching a healthy result that pays off in the long-term. Having been through the divorce process, I understand that compromise can be difficult, but usually no-one comes out of a divorce feeling like they "won".

Bad idea

Pleas don't waste your money. She showed up late and announced she had to leave early if possible...would have been better off by myself.

PJ Hartman did a Great Job for Me!

Ending a marriage after nearly 30 years was the most painful thing I've ever had to do in my life. While PJ was very professional and did a great job of looking out for my rights, she was also very compassionate. I truly felt like she cared about me as a person, not just as another client. If you...'d like a lawyer who will help you get through what is for most people a totally miserable experience, you won't find a better person than PJ. Let her take care of all the hassles and move on with your life!

Handled divorce for daughter.

My daughter was involved in a very difficult situation which included my granddaughters and a Florida CYFD (equivalent) case. The court in Florida required that my daughter be divorced before they would close the case. The situation was very difficult given that the father/husband was in jail and d...ifficult to deal with. Timing was critical in that the case had been pending for over a year and another court date was rapidly approaching. I hired P J Hartman, explained the urgency and she and her team quickly went to work. They took a personal interest in the case and worked diligently to get it resolved. They went over and above any expectation; they even went as far as meeting with the father/husband in jail to get him to sign the required documents. This was no easy task but they got it done. In addition, they followed the paperwork closely through the system to ensure every step was completed and in compliance. In the end, we were able to get the required documents to the Florida Courts and I'm happy to report that the Judge in Florida closed the case this past week. My granddaughters are FREE again and I am extremely grateful for PJ and her team; they are a remarkable team. I recommend them highly.
