"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Hart is aggressive and has a refreshing sense of humor. He tells it like it is. Having practiced family law for many years, he knows all of the local family law commissioners and most of the other family law attorneys. He knows the law. He is very good at getting a settlement Mr. Hart also takes personal injury clients. His cut-to-the-chase and aggressive style is well suited to that kind of work."
