Hartley Law Office, LLC - Dayton, OH

I had been recommended by an Air Force JAG to seek counsel from a few local attorneys of my choosing to determine who would be best suited for me. After Mr. Hartley returned my call (the only of the three to do so), I met with him for a free consult. While I didn't immediately retain him, I did immediately know he was going to be the only one I needed to meet with. From start to finish (5 months), Mr. Hartley was always at my fingertips. I always felt like I was the only client he had, though I knew that was far from the truth. I could call, text, or email him with my concerns and he would always respond. He may not tell you what you want to hear, but you need to realize that he definitely knows what he's doing and he's going to shoot straight with you. This stuff isn't cheap, and he's not doing charity work, but he's going to be fair with his time. You're both investing a lot in this...you in your significantly emotional, life changing event and hard-earned money--and him in his professionalism, long days and weekends that don't pay him any overtime! In the end, Mr. Hartley and his professional staff got me a fair result that I'm satisfied with. Divorce is never easy, but Mr. Hartley helped me make the best of an undesirable situation and I can definitely say that as circumstances change in the future and necessitate further adjustments to my decree, he'll be my first phone call!
