Mr. Hartt delivers on his promise of experience, value/risk driven results for the optimal benefit of his clients, in a financially responsible manner. Throughout my case, Mr. Hartt responded quickly, provided the information needed, and did so in a empathetic way. When it came to the time that I would need to testify, I was fully prepared and supported. I would highly recommend Mr. Hartt, to any person seeking justice within the workplace.

Robert Murray

Mr. Hartt has been representing me now for 5 months and I could not be more pleased. He is very professional, knowledgeable and personable. I have contacted him twice about questions I had and he got back to me quickly both times. To find out that he had already taken care of my 2 concerns I had. Don’t know how my case will turn out but I couldn’t be better represented.

I had a complex non-disclosure agreement issue with my former employer and needed an expert lawyer to guide me through it. James responded promptly and provided an exceptional consultation. He demonstrated deep knowledge in this area, addressing all of my concerns with clarity and professionalism. His honest and straightforward approach put me at ease, and he went above and beyond by offering to assist with any future questions. James is not only highly competent but also genuinely invested in his clients’ success. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing specialized legal advice.”

James Arlotta

It should be NO STARS. What bar admitted attorney doesn't draw up a written contract, give an itemized bill, or communicate with their client? Mr. Hartt needs to be honest, before he decides to respond or try to sue me. For defamation, libel, or slander.
