This is an excellent firm with incredibly helpful and caring staff.

I had a dispute with this law firm and Carla Hartley took the time to go over the issue with me.

Very professional staff. To them the clients are actual people, not just an opportunity to make money. This is a highly ethical firm.

They make you feel confident in going through with them and I loved it but I paid for the consultation just so they can ignore my calls for two weeks and then finally tell me they can’t represent due to having to many cases

We approached Hartley, Maxwell @Castellanos firm with our request to adopt our nephew. Our situation had some difficult hoops to jump through. During our consultation we immediately knew through Carlas knowledge and experience we wanted this firm to take on our case. Carla & Frances took the time to take explain our adoption process. They reassured us no case was too big or,tough. These attorneys have enormous confident. Our case closed out smoothly with no worries. We highly recommend this firm for any family law.

Bob Maxwell, with the firm of Hartley, Maxwell & Castellano, handled my divorce. If you want an attorney who will give 110% to your case, this is the attorney for you. He is such an honest, compassionate man and could not have done a better job of keeping me informed as to where my case stood all along the way. In fact, everyone I worked with at Hartley, Maxwell & Castellano was very professional and on top of their game. This is an exceptional law firm and I highly recommend them.

From the moment I communicated with this law firm they provided me with the information I needed to keep my family safe. Going through a divorce can be scary and nerve-racking; however, Carla and her associates reassured me every step of the way. The hardest part in this situation is I, just like everyone else, at first expected this process to go quick and smoothly. Yet, through all the curve-balls thrown at us from the other side, this firm stood their ground fighting for me and my children. Protecting us through each step of the way. I greatly appreciate their honesty, generosity, genuine kindness and concern for my situation, on tope of trying to keep the costs at a minimum. Thank you Carla and everyone at Hartley, Maxwell, and Castellano for working as a team for my family.

After 1yr and almost 8 months of dealing with my mothers divorce case they decided to stop representing her right before an impotant court date. The main reason they said was because they believed the paperwork my mother had was not correct and may have been altered. They could have let her know they felt that way when they first saw the papers at the beginning of the case and before we spent about 15 thousand on just back and forth paperwork. I was not satisfied in the work they provided.

Bob Maxwell and his entire team were nothing short of amazing throughout my entire case which got dragged out over a long period of time by my ex. The ENTIRE team supported me from the start of my custody battle to the end. I was a person to them and it meant the world. In response to the person below with complaints about staff and professionalism in the office… the paralegals and secretaries are insanely capable, care deeply, and are amazing at what they do. A good lawyer spends a good deal of their time in the court room and the rest of the team takes care of the clients while the lawyers are indisposed.

Carla is my attorney. Today she made a miracle happen. After fighting my family law case for 4 years with my former attorney, paying 30K and getting nowhere, she was able to settle my case. I was referred to her by another local attorney who did not want to take on my case. Carla made me feel comfortable and confident that she knew and understood all of the minutiae of family law. Carla and all of her staff are exceptionally helpful. They helped me with one of the most difficult parts of my life and I can’t thank them enough!

I was struggling for years representing myself trying to gain all parental rights of my daughter, until I met Bob, Debbie and Carla and that’s when they saved my family. Useing these wonderful attorneys was the best decision and investment I could have ever made. I gained all parental rights, and my husband who had been raising my daughter since she was a baby was finally able to adopt her and be the dad she deserved to have. I don’t know where I would be today if I didn’t get their professional help. I will forever be greatful, thank you.

In one of the darkest times of my life, Carla was definitely the light I needed. She was there for me 110% and fought for me and my best interests during the whole divorce process. Most of all, she understood the love I have for my Daughter and the importance of having and keeping a relationship with her as my ex-wife was trying her hardest to hinder it. She was recommended to me from a fellow active duty military member and highly recommend her to you. Thank you again for everything, Carla!

Carla, was my divorce attorney in 2011. She helped me and my two teenage daughters during one of the most stressful times in my life. Carla, was very professional, caring and outstanding! I ended up with almost full custody of my daughters (they volunteered to stay with me full time as well). I retained my Navy retirement, my home and family. I couldnt of asked for a better outcome during my divorce. She, is highly recommended for your needs. I trust Carla Hartley and her team.

I hired this law firm to represent me for my divorce. I was assigned Pat Llamas as my attorney and her paralegal Kelly. After $7000 absolutely nothing got done. They were always late on deadlines. Pat couldn’t remember a thing about me when we spoke. It took days to get a call back because you have to go through 2-3 gatekeepers just to get a call back from Pat. They charged me $40 each to email me form letters that they sent to all their clients that were not relevant to me but they use them as CYA letters. Do yourself a favor and NEVER hire this firm. The only thing this firm is good for is billable hours!

Highly recommended and a great divorce attorney. R. Benjamin Vojtik helped me immensely with my divorce. The second I got there, they worked as hard as they could for me. They fought greatly for my case sit as if it was their own. Made me feel at home, very understanding of my situation. Job well done, very professional and extremely helpful. Definitely got my moneys worth. Very satisfied with the service provided.

Carla and her staff have been an impeccable team for my legal issues and incredibly empathetic to my situation. She is extremely efficient and very knowledgeable in all of the follow-through efforts as well. Even over a decade later, Carla took the time to express her interest in my current situation and provided me with all of the answers I required. I am indebted to her for all of the extra care and her listening ear.

Sometimes you come across an attorney that truly cares about families. That is Carla. I hope when you read this review the first thing you do is make a phone call to her amazing staff. It will change your family’s life. My wife and I truly appreciate you, Carla!

Great firm with helpful and professional staff. They don't treat their clients as an opportunity to make money. They have true honest attorneys who work for their clients and handle different types of legal issues.

Patricia was amazing, although my wife and I decided to reconcile our differences. I think Patricia has the drive and the motivation to fight and get justice for her clients. And what impressed me the most was her concern for our kids that they had what they needed from both of their parents.
