Best Outcome

Highly recommend Richard Hartley's services. He guided me through my case with clear communication, rigorous examination of evidence and cross examination, and delivered a resolution far better than I had expected. In hiring Richard, I was able to continue my daily life with the assurance he was work...ing with my best interest in mind. He kept me informed every step of the way. I cannot emphasize the peace of mind this provided during an otherwise tumultuous time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
