If you’re looking for a gladiator then you’ve found him! If you want a straight up lawyer that’s gonna tell you what you need to know then he is it. Aaron Hartley and his staff are never playing around when it comes to a case. I wish I had hired him years ago! He took a clusterf*** and fixed it quick. He gets results!Something to note though, Aaron does not beat around bush about anything. If constructive criticism offends you then you’re going to have a hard time seeing his point. Trust me, he put my expectations in check more than once. This is his career and this is what he excels at. Trust him. Listen to him, even if it’s not what you want to hear. You may not like what he says but he knows what he is doing. Be ready to hear some of what is going on with him, it’s not mock you or make you feel like your case is less serious than his. It’s to make a point- pick your battles so you can win the war.Aaron will see you through the end and he will not lead you astray. Let me put it to you this way, do you want a lawyer that’s gonna let you get rolled or do you want one that is gonna roll your opponent and get you want you want (within reason people)?Be prepared to be expected to bring your all to the game. Give him credible info and back it up with proof and he will back the opposing counsel down. Aaron has an alpha personality and alphas do not like lose. That is the type of lawyer you want if you want to win.
I highly recommend this law office and Mr. Aaron Hartley. He has the highest level of integrity and ensured he provided me with legal advice consistent with a man of high moral values.Mr. Hartley is a top-notch professional attorney. He has provided me legal counsel for the last three years. Mr. Hartley originally agreed to take on my challenging situation without hesitation. Despite me being located overseas, and several other Montgomery County lawyers unwilling to deal with me being out of the country. He remained flexible with my schedule and time difference. Aaron often stayed late or came in early to discuss the matters of my case.In the last three years he has represented me during a child support modification, an amendment to a divorce decree, and an unique challenge to paternity case.He was able to negotiate with the other party’s counsel and argue key issues in court on my behalf.I will be forever grateful for the counsel and emotional support Mr. Hartley provides me.
I would recommend Mr. Hartley and hes law firm to everyone. He is professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to get to know me and my case for the best outcome. He was easy to work with always making time for me to be able to finalize my divorce as quickly as possible. I dont even what to what I would have lost if I didnt have Mr. Hartley on my side.
I hired Mr Hartley for my divorce, which would involve custody of my children. Mr Hartley has been very responsive and on top of things! He always responds and forwards any information he receives to me very quickly. You can tell he is very passionate about his job! My main concern in my divorce was my children and after just a couple visits with Mr Hartley I could tell he understood where I was coming from in the way he talks about his own children. I would highly recommend Mr Hartley to anyone who finds themselves in this situation!
Aaron Hartley is a knowledgeable, thorough, and sensitive person, attorney and counselor at law. He is compassionate. He specializes in individual attention for each client. His fees are reasonable; his staff is above reproach. Aaron will devote his energies to navigating the legal system and procuring every advantage for his clients. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone who is considering legal action in domestic relations court.
I retained Mr Hartley for 2 issues. Both times, he and his staff went above and beyond. Hes extremely knowledgeable and quick. He knows what hes talking about. Theyre very responsive at that office. I never had to wait around for an answer. Somehow, they always make the time. Id recommend Mr Hartley to anyone needing expert representation.
I had a truly professional, in depth and honest consultation. Mr Hartley is down to earth and cuts to the chase. That’s how attorneys should be. He doesn’t waste his time or your time with any actions that will impede the progress of your case. His ultimate goal is to complete the case as much in your favor as humanly possible. His staff are welcoming, accommodating and are working as a team with Mr. Hartley to ensure you are completely comfortable as a client.
I would definitely recommend Mr Hartley as a divorce lawyer. Initially Mr. Hartley was hesitant in taking my case due to its particular complexity and his availability (Christmas time). He was honest telling me that he may not be able to do anything given the particular issues of my case and voiced his concerns to me. However, after he pondered my situation, he accepted my case. This reveals to me his good character and his belief that I should not be shut out of my sons life due to past mistakes (a belief that people can be redeemed) and willing to take upon a challenge. He is a blunt individual and will tell it as he sees it. He does not dance around sensitive topics, but addresses them as needed. I prefer this method because it helped me to keep my expectations grounded, even if the truth or facts do hurt at times. He did not fluff or promise anything that he could not knowingly deliver. He is a smart and experienced man that is able to look at the paperwork involved and find good defenses and help explain what the opposing counsel may be up to. Unfortunately, due to my ex already having a consultation with Mr. Hartley months before, I was unable to keep him retained as the ethical conflict was not waived by my ex. There was nothing I could do about this mistake, but Mr. Hartley remedied the situation as I had requested and provided a referral to another lawyer who would take my case. I was sad to not be able to keep him as my lawyer, but happy with the outcome given the situation. Mr. Hartley seems to be aggressive and quite passionate about his clients making sure that they get the best representation, even in difficult cases.
Mr. Hartley went through great lengths to help me through my divorce. He was always a call away if I had any questions. His professionalism should be commended as I always got fax confirmations and scanned documents sent straight to my email within a few hours. He worked tirelessly to achieve the outcome we did in court and I would recommend him to any and all who are looking for a GREAT lawyer.
I hired Mr. Hartley to defend me and the custody of my son. He took every step of the case seriously, was very detail oriented and thorough, helped maintain my expectations for case outcome, and worked hard in preparation for every document and hearing. Additionally, he made himself available at any time of the day for anything that may have come up regarding my custody case.I would describe Aaron as a pitbull, and he is the attorney I should have hired for the divorce. His knowledge of family law is at the highest level and he does not tolerate idiocy from the opposing party. Had I hired him to begin with, I most likely would not have had to go through a custody fight for the last year. Regardless, Mr. Hartley successfully maintained my shared custody.I highly recommend Aaron, but be prepared for a boisterous pitbull.
Mr. Hartley took on my unusual case with complete confidence. He came up with an excellent strategy. His staff was friendly and kept me informed throughout the entire case. They worked hard getting me included on a d.v.p.o. court hearing. Mr. Hartley made sure my concerns were heard and addressed on the matter. He was a pillar of strength during this very stressful time in my life.I was relieved to have him on my side and next to me in the courtroom. I would recommend Mr. Hartley and his staff if you want to be successful in your legal issues. He will do his best to get the outcome you are looking for.
Aaron Hartley has been the best lawyer ever!!! Very professional. Wonderful office staff. Very compassionate. I don’t think I could ever say enough about how Mr Hartley has been through the most difficult time of out life. Divorce is never a easy thing to go through. I think they deserve more than 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I highly recommend Aaron Hartley.
Superb LawyerIf you want professional, quick, efficient service this is what I felt I received from Mr. Hartley. This wasn’t his first rodeo but most definitely mines. I was nervous, scared and didn’t know what to expect. He walked me though the process, kept me updated with doing things quickly (thank GOD). Even when opposing counsel and his client humiliated me, tossed daggers towards my character. Mr. Hartley remain professional pushed forward with trusting and believing in me with supporting me as my lawyer. His knowledge and expertise were subpared. Mr. Hartley provided 100% of his time and loyalty into my case (with providing weekend appointments/ being available via phone on weekends). I walked way with what I had expected from my divorce.I recommend Hartley Law Office for your family needs. I will be using Mr Hartley if necessary for any future concern and issues.
Aaron is a talented lawyer and very knowledgeable in divorce law. He handled my uncontested divorce case for me quickly and never gave me a reason to doubt his ability. He seems to work endless hours to make sure all his clients get the best representation they deserve. He offers phenomenal service for very reasonable rates and I highly recommend him.
I hired Mr.Hartley a few years ago when I didnt know what else to do with my Childrens mother. Mr.Hartley listened to what I had to say and worked very hard for me and my case. I was awarded 50% custody, which I didnt know if I was going to be able too. Later down the road I was awarded residential custody. Aaron Hartley has a mind that runs 1000 miles a minute. He will listen and interrupt you 100 times a sentence lol. But its because he knows what hes doing to the highest level. Thanks again!
Hands down best attorney I have encountered. Efficient, dependable, and will always go the extra mile for his clients.Mr. Hartley breaks the mold! He attacked a complicated change in jurisdiction from across the country and an update in child support/parenting time with more passion than I ever could have expected. Not a second of time is wasted and his office is a well-oiled machine. You never wonder where you are at in a process and he is actively engaged with your case 110%. This firm makes you feel like a VIP from the moment you step into the room.There aren’t enough words to express how much stress and anxiety is lifted from your shoulders when your case is being diligently handled by an attorney of the highest caliber. Hiring Mr. Hartley has been worth every cent!Best Regards,- Lauren M.
Divorce can be such a horrible experience. When children are involved, things can be exceptionally difficult. I was very concerned about the aftermath that would follow me leaving my ex-husband (with my special needs son in hand).Attorney Hartley was highly recommended for his professionalism, his prompt attention to his clients and for the genuine demeanor that Mr. Hartley is known for. Attorney Hartley walked me through every step of the legal process. My attorney knew that I was scared to lose my son and that I was just very nervous about what would lie ahead for myself and my son.The end result was exactly what I had hoped for and more. Attorney Hartley did not lag in any part of the legal process. As he explained every step of the way, he followed up with things, just as he said he would.I not only received full custody of my son, Attorney Hartley really helped put my nerves at ease and prepared me for the courtroom. As this was also something that caused me great anxiety. I was able to walk out of the final hearing with my head held high and my confidence in tact.I would recommend Attorney Aaron Hartley to anyone. Mr. Hartley knows the law and makes sure that his clients know exactly what is going on. Five Stars and then some. If you have a legal problem, do not hesitate to call Hartley Law Office and make an appointment. You will be glad that you made that call.
Truly top-notch! Aaron represented me in a challenging divorce case lasting well over a year, and I was repeatedly impressed with his hard work, dedication, efficiency, and efforts to understand my unique situation as well as my personal concerns. He has gone well beyond what I expected to keep the case moving forward despite opposing efforts to delay. Aaron’s depth of research coupled with his experience in divorce law and honest opinions provided me with the options and advice I needed, the documents that reflected that, and the representation in court to get it done. I have been nothing but pleased with his performance and highly recommend him!
Aaron is an exceptional attorney, and he tells you straight up he makes no promises that things will go the way you want them to but he does promise you he will give it his all and do everything in his power to fight your case and win. He is professional, he knowledgeable, he is real, he tells you like it is, he is a definite family man, who is helpful, one thing for sure he doesnt give up, and he is there for you anytime, highly compassionate, and extremely caring and understanding. I truly respect him and his staff and Im comfortable and have complete confidence with knowing he is by my side through my case and grateful to have him as my attorney, and I highly recommend Aaron and so appreciate him, and his staff.
Hiring an attorney was the last thing I wanted to do the day I contacted Aaron Hartley. I had just experienced an, over 2 year, very ugly,expensive divorce and found I was being sued for Contempt of Court . Aaron spoke with me on that call which changed everything . He was compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and always accessible, unlike what I had experienced for 2 years. In fact he called me on his way home from work on a day he was sick. (Who does that )??I knew he had my best interest and the nights of worry and sleeplessness were, in my case gone, just from the assurance and confidence I received from Aaron. I have only one regret, and that is, that I had not asked Aaron to represent me in the beginning of what most people hope they never have to experience, which is finding your life and future in the of hands of the court system. If you are wondering if this is is the best firm to contact, my experience would be an.. Absolutely Yes!!
Mr. Hartley has worked without ceasing to make sure that my case is properly and thoroughly prepared.Additionally, I am convinced that some of the negative reviews are written by my husband who has created multiple fake accounts because he is embarrassed by how badly Mr. Hartley is bringing forward my husbands true colors in the courtroom. Mr. Hartley is worth every dime my husband is going to be paying him.
Mr. Hartley is an amazing lawyer! I recommend him to anyone that is in need of a great lawyer. He has worked with us in every way. He explains every step that we are taking, and gives you the honest truth! Mr. Hartley works his rear end off to make sure that the right thing always happens. He is honest, fast, and quite literally a miracle worker! After years of having lawyers not live up to my standards and let everything under the sun slip through the cracks, Mr. Hartley stopped all that. when anything happened that should not have he did not ignore it, he took immediate action as soon as i called him amd told him the situation. He has literally been a breath of fresh air and someone, that i can say with all confidence, you can put your trust in to make miracles happen. I had everything aginst me, and he turned it all around. I can finally breath easy and my son can too.Thank you so much Mr. Hartley, for all your and your staffs hard work on our case. you are all the most amazing people I have ever worked with!!!Nikita Trabert
If you are looking for an attorney who pours his heart and soul into your divorce case, call Aaron P. Hartley. During the past 1 1/2 years Aaron has proven to be a dedicated professional providing honest, knowledgeable and caring representation during the worst period of my life. He has exceeded any expectations that I had.
Mr. Hartley did an excellent job of representing me. He listened to exactly what I wanted, and did his best to act in my best interest, and the interests of my children. I would advise anyone who seeks his representation to be clear upfront about what you are seeking, and be very vocal during the process if you have questions or concerns. Will definitely be seeking Mr. Hartleys representation again if needed in the future.
If you want or need a VIPER for an attorney, then Aaron P. Hartley is your man!He is often misconstrued in his initial meeting or some previous reviews and its only because Aaron is confident, assertive, and agressive, when necessary. He is extremely knowledgeable with Family Law (My ex went through 3 attorneys, including a Criminal Attorney!) and will work hard for you, to ensure you walk away with the best possible settlement.Things you must know about Aaron:** He is a no bull-s*** attorney! He doesnot like to waste your time & money!Trust him!** He will listen to you & your concernsbut, he will respond truthfully, and forthat you may need to have thick skin!( He made me cry a few times, but its.ok. Divorces are stressful and Ineeded to hear the truth, no matterhow painful!)Professionalism - *****Communication - *****Staff - (haha!!!) - *****Fantastic considering he endured staffing difficulties!Value - $$$$ - *****Worth every penny!Thank you Aaron!
Aaron is a great lawyer!! I have used him for several family law issues and I am very happy with his efficiency at getting things done as well as professionalism. The entire office is busy due to a large amount of work but Ive never had a bad experience with them. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any legal assistance especially if your needs are immediate. I will employ this office for any of my future legal needs from here on out.
I am terrible with writing reviews so here are the list of my observations when working with him.This man is a shark. I am glad he represents me instead of the opposing party. He is aggressive, commanding, blunt, but also diplomatic as well. If you are up against him, I wish you all the luck you need. I am terrified of the hypothetical thought of what would happen if my ex hired him.I had another lawyer prior and he was not at all confident that it would be in my favor. Thanks to Mr. Hartley’s help, the case turns out to be in my favor.He listens to your concern but will answer honestly and bluntly. Sugarcoating is not in this man’s nature, just the truth. Do not conflate his forwardness as a sign of disrespect; he is looking out for you, and wants what is best for you.He is very engaging. To make the most out of it, you should be as engaged as he is as well. He knew exactly what needs to be done so follow his instructions and the productivity will skyrocket.He does not want to waste his time or your time. You get to see him in action from preparing documents, consulting you, strategizing, contacting the opposing party, keeping you in the loop. It is concise, efficient, and effective.I would definitely recommend him to handle your dissolution/divorce case.
Recently I retained Attorney Aaron Hartley to sort out a festering mess with the State of Ohio stemming from a divorce decree I naively put my name to years ago. Foolishly, I had no attorney then. I have never had cause to regret hiring Aaron and his assistants, who have expertly guided me through the chaos of the Byzantine family court system, a system that is frankly far too biased against fathers. Aaron is charismatic, intelligent, laconically charming, and absolutely driven to succeed. A warning to those with thin skin, Aaron is not a yes-man; he will strenuously advise you against unwise and injurious decisions, which, in my opinion, marks a truly great advocate. That said, he will ultimately execute that which you bid. He resolved my case expediently and to my absolute satisfaction. When your rights as a divorced parent hang in the balance, retain Attorney Aaron Hartley to tip the scales in your favor.
I had Aaron do a dissolution for me and he was great. He was very honest and upfront about everything. He kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. I believe from start to finish it took us a month and a half to complete. He was always respectful and helped through one of the hardest times of my life. He was the best choice I could have made. I highly recommend him!!!!!
Aaron Hartley and his wonderful team, Jill Lawhorn and Susan Deaton, carefully prepared all my legal documents in a timely manner, and discussed all the procedures with me. Mr. Hartley brought my case to court as quickly and expertly as possible, and he spent hours answering all my questions to my satisfaction no matter how many I threw at him. Ms. Lawhorne always answered/addressed all my email and other concerns perfectly, and Ms. Deaton always had a professional and courteous demeanor and performance.Mr. Hartley and his team are very professional and will expertly represent you in court and in their offices. I recommend them highly.
Mr. Hartley is a very straight forward-no funny business-get the job done kind of man. I’m very happy with how he represented me and most of all how he and his staff treated me with respect and made me feel less stressed throughout my trial. If you’re looking for a great attorney, he’s the man!
Aaron is a master of his craft and a true professional. Working with Aaron and his team is a seamless experience from the office to the courtroom and anywhere in between. They clearly communicate realistic expectations and goals in order to take the appropraite actions to address your legal needs. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.
Mr. Hartley thank you for the support and your professionalism in handling my friend/coworker divorce. You’re highly recommended in my book! My friend showed no stress, anger and was very confident in you being her lawyer with handling her case. I thank you for that! If someone’s getting a divorce may they chose you as a attorney. You’re loyalty was amazing. You’re price was reasonable. & you got the job quick! Thanks again!
Aaron Hartley breaks the mold as well as the stereotype most people think of when they think of attorneys. Time and time again, he has delivered positive results and expert advise. He is a true professional and raises the bar for all attorneys as well as for his clients.Aaron fights for whats right and in defense of what the United States of America and its justice system, truly represent. The U.S. justice system and our constitution and way of life is one thing that makes this country the best in the world and I believe Aaron is among its top attorneys; because integrity, honesty, loyalty, and liberty cant be bought, they can only be fought for.I have experience working with other lawyers who didnt want to work for me but just collect a paycheck and was nickeled and dimed and given little attention or even full answers to my simple questions, but was still overcharged for their services. I had to hunt them down by voicemail and email because they couldnt be reached in a timely manner.Aaron has forgiven debt and late payments and worked with me to compensate his services and is worth every dime and has undercharged me for his expertise. He helped me gain custody of my son and continues to help me fight to keep him in my custody after a long, arduous, and frivolous custody battle with his insane grandmother. On two occasions, I didnt even need to step into a courtroom.I really got lucky to find Aaron and to have him represent me and I just really feel sorry for the opposition at this point because for some people, losing isnt an option.He is sharp, knowledgeable, and a leader in the field of law and has my full confidence. I fully endorse his services as a former and current client and as a member of the United States Armed Services.Air Force Staff Sergeant, Kevin Crook.
I have had the worst experience with Attorneys in the past. I approached Aaron with and issue of custody. I was completly transparent with all my information. He is very thorough and takes time to listen to your concerns. Aaron gave me 100% attention and responsive to any phones calls and emails that I sent. He is absolutly one of the best attorneys I have encounter in the past 12 years. His attention to detail help me in my case. I have recommended him to all my friends and family.
I met with Mr. Hartley after being referred to him by a co-worker. He claims to have reasonable fees and I found that his were actually higher than most other reputable lawyers. I liked how intense he was because I wanted my husband to be intimidated by him but after he smoked in his office (and didnt seem to mind that I was pregnant) and was unprofessional was swearing and such, I decided not to go with him as my divorce lawyer. About a month ago, I saw that he was arrested for public intoxication at a bar in The Greene for choking a woman out. I do not recommend this practice.
Seems to be very inexperienced. My son decided against perusing their services. Mainly Due to their inconsistency with staff members. As he was rescheduled several times to meet. The first time, we we felt very uncomfortable in this office. The second time, all new staff. I’m unsure how they maintain stability. Family matters are always very close to the heart. If you cannot feel comfortable or familiarized with the staff after two meetings. That is a very clear indicator that something is terribly wrong. I suggest doing your googling before considering this establishment. Best of luck!
Mr. Hartley and his staff do everything and guided me through the worst time of my life. I could not have done it with out them! My Questions were always answered right away. Everything was always explained and if I didn’t understand he made sure I did. I recommend to anyone going through a divorce.
Aaron represented me recently for my dissolution and I could not have made a better choice. He is knowledgeable, thorough and kept me informed every step of the way. Everything was handled in a timely manner and with a sense of urgency. He listened to everything I had to say with complete attention and understanding then proceeded accordingly. I would recommend him to my family and friends and will hire him again in the future if needed.
He was very patient with my case. It was delayed for awhile and when everything was in order and ready he was right on top of it. All the orders that he wrote were specific and very well put. Would highly recommend Mr Hartley to anyone! I was able to get full custody of my daughter and it is hard to do unfortunately for a Male, but he was able to get what was best for me and my daughter.
Very poor and unprofessional service. As I walked in I overheard what sounded like a very heated discussion with the staff. I was under the impression that the staff members were intimidated by Mr. Hartley. Also, I’ve drawn my own conclusion that he may have been under the influence while speaking with me. Very scatter brained and most certainly unable to maintain his composure in a professional manner. It was very apparent that my timing was bad. However I have too much on the line to be doing business with a questionable character.
Wow, what a waste of time! I called and made an appointment and told them I just had some questions on the process my divorce was going through. My appointment was at 10:30. He was running late and didnt get back to the office from court until about 10:55. They did apologize for running late but when he did talk to me about 11:35 while he was on hold with a the court he told me he didnt have time to go over the process with me since he had to be in court soon. I didnt expect free legal advice, I understand he is trying to run a business. He then referred me to some website which I didnt get. I told the person I initially talked with who setup the appointment that this is what I was needing the appointment for but I guess appointments for non-clients are not a priority. Very rude and unprofessional experience.
I hired Aaron to file a contempt of court motion and for a increase in child support. quoted me a rate that I felt was fair and when it came down to Court room substance ill just say this I got my increase in child support, I got to claim my son and she had to amend her tax return, oh I also got attorney fees and to make sure she paid it was ordered that Montgomery county child support would collect the fee. anytime I have a problem I call Aaron.
Words cannot decribe what an awesome attorney aaron is! the man is amazing in the courtroom and is very understanding of what you need and the goal you are trying to reach in the courtroom and i assure you that he will get the desired result for you.i recently had a child custody case where my back was against the wall and noone was on my side but aaron and he helped me win full custody of my son and bring him home with me where he belongs.God bless you aaron and thank you!
If your looking for a shark to get you through your divorce, custody battle or what ever it may be then looking no farther because Mr.Hartley is the man for the job. I’ve been working with Mr.Hartley over the last 4 years and could not ask for a better person to work with and handle my case for me.
While no one wishes to find themselves filing and/or going thru divorce, Mr.Hartley is a very knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who helps guide you and makes a very stressful situation less stressful. I was very impressed with Mr. Hartley and his staff and their ability to get my divorce handled in a timely and effective manor.Mr.Hartley was able to get my case settled without having to go to trial. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hartley and his staff.
ALERT, ALERT ALERT: Horrible liar cheater and dishonest attorney. I was quoted a price that changed day by day.BEWARE HE IS A DISHONEST SCUM BAG THAT REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY AFTER HE WAS FIRED FOR CLAIMING TO HAVE FILED FOR A HEARING. WE WERE FORCED TO HIRE ANOTHER ATTORNEY TO FILE THANKFULLY THINGS ARE GREAT NOW. Mr. Hartley took advantage of me because I was based in another city over 200 miles away. PLEASE BEWARE HE IS A TRUE SCUM BAG!
Mr hartley got the job done for me,i finally have full custody of my son this being a mother state its hard for the father to meet this goal.mr.hartley is a very fast talker and always on the move but knows what he is doing it took some time, but he did it ,my family is complete thanks man

2021-11-19Aaron Hartley is the epitome of what a great attorney should be. Aaron is truly concerned about protecting his clients above even himself. Not afraid to be aggressive in courts and will not let them say no. Aaron’s practice has an associate attorney and more than ample office staff to make sure any and all information is available in a very timely manner. My case went a lot smoother than I could have imagined and I believe wholeheartedly that without him and his team I would not be ok now. I consider Aaron a friend now and will have a lifelong relationship with his firm. 5 STARS,

2021-08-05It is IMPOSSIBLE to Find Better CouncilI have no way of truly stating or defining the fact that in your darkest moment as a father facing divorce, fear and anger develop. I was in this situation and needed to find a good attorney. Let me re-phrase this.... I needed to find the BEST attorney. And by luck, I did. Mr. Hartley and his team are magicians with a flair of aggression to do the right thing. There has never been a moment where relief felt so outstanding knowing that Mr. Hartley was my sword and shield. My divorce was in the least, contentious. Mr. Hartley navigated these waters with ease and absolutely pummeled anything in his path. I retained almost everything I was fighting for myself and my daughter in what I considered a vanilla divorce(house, 401K, rental unit, but most of all, final decision maker for my daughter). Some may say that this sounds easy, but it is not! And I do believe that there is a right way to fight a case where a father is fighting for his child. Mr. Hartley provided EXACTLY that. The wide expanse of knowledge and capability of Mr. Hartley knows no bounds. He definitely pushes beyond any normal human for his clients. The precision and timing of action is everything and to be honest, I do not believe that Mr. Hartley sleeps at all. He was available anytime and the guidance was impeccable. There should be a movie made about this attorney. His preparation and subsequent pouncing in a courtroom is exactly that....out of a movie. The difference is, it IS reality and that diamond you are looking for is located in Kettering, OH. As a father, I reigned in the outcome (which these days does not seem possible). I have final authority on just about everything related to my daughter. The future is hers thanks to Mr. Hartley and his team. And I am telling anyone reading this....If you are in a similar situation, I wouldnt trust ANYONE else.Navigation of the Courts Skill: 10+Client in mind: 10+Staffing: 10Understanding of your needs: 10+Availability: 10+

2021-04-24I hired Aaron and his team to help with custody arrangements for my children. As an military member whose ex-wife is also military but lives in Germany with my children, I needed a lawyer with extensive knowledge of, not only Ohio law, but someone capable of navigating a complex international case. Aaron and his team rose to the challenge. They are extremely knowledgeable and handled my case with the proper care it needed.Not only did Aaron help to adjust the custody arrangements but I also received additional visitation above and beyond what I initially expected. Watching Aaron in the courtroom during the hearing, I knew I made the right choice as the opposing counsel was no match for him.I highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney with passion and care to reach out to Aaron and his team...you wont be disappointed!

2021-11-18As a man looking to end a marriage of 13 years and kids being involved, I thought I was screwed and that my life was financially ruined but I couldnt have been more wrong. Mr. Hartley was very proactive and even demanding of me when it came to matters that required my attention, which I definitely needed at the time.He strategized the whole approach and helped me negotiate the schedule I wanted with my kids, what assets to trade off to get the least impactful results to my finances and served as a constant node of blunt force positivity in my corner. He emphasized what I already knew to be the most important aspect of the process, my kids.Ill layout my general results below...As a man I know these results are rare and obviously cant be applied to all situations and people.- 50/50 shared parenting control (normal).- Rotating major holidays (normal).- Kids live with dad as residential parent and visit mom every other weekend (not normal).- Child support is still present due to income inequality but fair.- No alimony (married 13 years).- Kept my house (and all the equity).- Lost my 401k but traded it for desired schedule (time with my kids) & house (it was worth it to me).This review is long overdue and overall what I want people to take away is that I really owe Mr. Hartley a lot and that this guy is a shark but not without a heart.

2021-05-04Mr. Hartley has been working a pretty difficult case for me, and my son, who is medically handicapped. Hes let me bring my son a few times to the office when I did not have anybody to help, and everyone was so great to him while we were there. Mr. Hartley has been nothing but upfront and honest from the beginning and I receive weekly emails updating me on the case, with copies of all the papers so I can save them to my personal computer.I absolutely hope I never need to go to court again, BUT IF I DID, Mr. Hartley and his team would be the only ones I would want helping me maneuver through the court system.

2021-07-21Where do I even begin?Mr. Hartley and his team were on top of things since day one. If you work with him, he will definitely go above and beyond to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Dont waste his time, and he will most certainly not waste yours.Him and his team were always very professional, communicated constantly, and would listen to you and your concerns. When Mr. Hartley says to not worry about something, even if it might seem a bit off at the moment, he knows what hes talking aboutHe goes straight to the point, and will not sugarcoat anything for you. Sometimes truth can be a hard pill to swallow, but rest assured that the way he sees the situation is in the best interest of his clients, in every aspect (mentally, emotionally, financially etc.).The way he is able to keep composure and be on top of everything, not to mention at the speed he and his team operate, is simply insane (in a good way of course).Im very glad that I chose Mr. Hartley and his team! They helped make this process a smooth one and if it came down to it, I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

2021-07-13The #1 reason I hired Mr. Hartleys office was peace of mind. My case wasnt too complex on the surface, but all too often things slip through the cracks and before you know it, you lose your vantage point and get screwed in family court. This is especially true for single fathers like myself. Hence, I was not going take any chances and knew upon my initial consult - the only one I had - I would be prepared for the worst.Whats most remarkable about Mr. Hartleys office is he and his staff are extremely well organized, efficient, and responsive. Unsurprisingly, theres a lot of paperwork involved with family - but I guess all legal - matters. In the past, I sometimes had to manage my attorneys and keep them on track. That came with a great deal of stress and anxiety. I was/am not ready to go through that again. Mr. Saunders, Robin and more recently Ashley were always on top of everything. And Mr. Hartley is always up-to-date and one phone call or stop away, whether it is late in the evening, weekends or holidays. Both Mr. Hartley and Mr. Saunders are quite relatable and complement each other amazingly well. Mr. Hartley cuts to the chase and is very straightforward. Mr. Saunders excels at listening, analyzing, and synthesizing the details.Id recommend overcommunication/frequent reminders when it comes to court dates and times, as these tend to change a lot, and I have failed to update my calendar on a couple of occasions.In the end - or at least for now - the crisis has been averted. I look forward to at least a couple of years of peace as I raise my daughter, until the next challenge, which Im confident well be ready for.

2018-06-03I was referred to the Hartley Law Office by an attorney friend. When I asked why, he said I needed a true advocate to represent me and Aaron Hartley was the best attorney he knew. From our first meeting, I knew Aaron Hartley and I were a good fit. While I thought I had all the information he would need, Aaron probed deeply to uncover important facts and figures. He provided excellent guidance and leadership. The price was fair. I will always remember his professionalism. My case was resolved ahead of schedule. We created a friendship and I will call Aaron Hartley when I need legal counsel again. I recommend the Hartley Law Office without reservation!

2021-04-15Completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Extremely high cost, charge you for absolutely everything possible and then some. Incredibly distracted and focused on himself and discussing his own problems. Incredibly rude. Hired my ex-husbands lawyer for his own personal matters while he was representing me! He was not open to anything we had to say, did not show one ounce of empathy, care or concern. Always unavailable. His bad advice caused us to lose out on some very important things that could have helped us with our case. We fired him and immediately hired another lawyer. At one point he called me a whale... while I was pregnant. Very vulgar person. Threatened me at one point over the phone, he has aggressive behavior. We pretty much paid his office over $$,$$$ over the course of a year for nothing. Absolutely do not recommend.

2019-02-20Aaron Hartley and his team are absolutely amazing. He is very professional and hard working. As a single parent himself he could really relate to my situation, and knew exactly how to handle my case. Hartley Law office helped me to get custody of my children after a rough divorce and also helped to establish ways for me and my children to communicate and participate in a healthier family structure with my ex-wife. If you are looking for a legal team that truly cares about you, your family, and the case you have to present, then Aaron Hartley and his team can be trusted to provide you with the highest quality legal work in the area. Thank you again Hartley team.
