Richard L. Hartley

Rick was very professional and handled my case very well. He got back to me immediately whenever things changed or he had news for me, I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Bangor area that needs help with a case. He was honest with me from the first consultation about the direction my case c...ould go and our options, and it went exactly as he said it would.

Recommended to me as one of the best OUI lawyers in the area and it proved to be true. As many legal cases are confusing, I felt I had a grip during the entire 10 month process. The outcome of the case was complete dismissal, and even if it weren't so I would recommend Mr. Hartley because I knew he w...ould best represent my case. Mr. Hartley helped ease the stress of the entire process as he handled everything timely, professionally, and was readily available to guide me through the process. I had the best possible outcome of an OUI case and I do attribute it to having Mr. Hartley as a lawyer.

I felt that Mr. Hartley was in my corner, and took the time to clearly understand my case. He was available when I asked questions, answered them thoroughly until I understood them, and gladly included my wife to answer all her questions, even long before the case came up in the courtroom. He was spe...cific as to the documents and written work he needed from me, and kept them in an orderly and secure fashion. He also took the time to research out specifics of my case, then delivered on all that he said he was going to do and then some. He was rock steady and level in the courtroom, and I felt well represented. Mr. Hartley worked well and effectively with with the local DA, Deputy DA, and other parties that were influential to my case. He well argued my position in the courtroom, had a strong sense of wanting to see genuine justice given, which rendered a most favorable outcome for me. The second time we appeared in the courtroom, Mr. Hartley clearly argued and understood State precedents germaine to my case. He always let me know both the financial and time realities as they impacted my case at various times. When my wife realized at one point that we were in an extremely time sensitive moment in my case, she was able to contact him easily, and was calmed not only by his words, but with action that greatly benefited me. I never felt taken advantage of financially and felt that he was always fair, forthright, and honest with all his dealings with me. I cannot recommend Mr. Hartley highly enough to you. His is in my estimation not only a very fine person, but is no doubt at the very top of his profession.
