Just the attorney I needed!

After a bad experience with one attorney, I hired Mrs. Hartley to represent me in my child custody/visitation case, and it was the best thing I could have done. My former attorney actually hurt my case, so I needed someone who was going to help turn things around and Mrs. Hartley was the exact perso...n for the job. She was very straight forward with me from beginning to end, and treated me with dignity and respect. Her ability to analyze the situation from different angles and devise a plan was extraordinary, and she was never willing to concede to what the other party was asking for even though others were advising me to. She is compassionate, extremely intelligent, and strategic, which was exactly what I needed. After all was said and done, we emerged with an Order that was better than I could have ever hoped for and I highly recommend Mrs. Hartley to anyone who is in need of representation for a family law matter.

strong & outstanding lawyer

Hello my name is Gilbert. I strongly recommend Carla Hartley as your lawyer for Divorce & Child Custody. It is hard to go through the toughest time of your life not knowing what to do & not knowing too much about the law and your rights. Carla is a smart, sincere and a very professional woman that wi...ll guide you the right way and is very good at communicating with you and explaining your rights and your options. I originally had another attorney handling my case a little over 4 years ago. Carla was a paralegal at the time. To be honest she did all the work and helped me more than the lawyer I had hired. When she became a lawyer herself I had no choice than to fire my former lawyer and hired Carla. She is one tough woman that will fight for you and knows her job well. Like I had mentioned before you don't have to look around for a lawyer because she is the one you need & will not regret hiring her. Her prices are very reasonable compare to all the work she does to represent you. If you are looking for a cheaper price good luck because you get what you pay for. Thank you very much and may God Bless you Carla.

Actually, I was an associate attorney at the time, not a paralegal. But thank you, so much, for the kind words!

I highly recommend Carla!

I interviewed four attorneys before I choose Carla for my divorce. She combines ethics, knowledge and superb "battle field" skills and always manages a smile! I was "outgunned" by my wife's legal team from the beginning but Carla never flinched- she fought hard for me. Each night I slept well knowi...ng the decisions she made were fair and ultimately in the best interests of myself(and my wife!) It was a 15 month "battle" and I have no reservations that Carla was the best person to represent me through the toughest challenge of my life....

Amazing Lawyer!

When I first contacted Carla I was a mess. I needed a restraining order and a judgement for child custody. Carla was very knowledgeable of the court system. What I appreciated was that she was realistic in the time-frame, and she never promised me anything that she wasn't sure of. She was very st...raight forward and honest. I don't think I could have done it without her.

Carla Hartley is a phenomenal person and attorney.

Carla Hartley is the kind of lawyer anyone going through a messy divorce deserves. She will fight, protect,and advocate for you and your child(ren). Carla Hartley takes her time to get to know her clients and treats them with respect and dignity. Once she became involved, my case turned around. I ...am truly thankful tht she represented me.
