FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

Hartley Law Group and team are outstanding They are very professional and communicate well. Ms. Hartley is intelligent, caring attentive, and assertive. She handled my case better than I could have asked for. I have had to hire her to represent me twice and will only go to her for any of my custody issues. She is the best family law attorney, I am so thankful I was referred to her!

Carla Hartley is my attorney. Despite the stunningly stupid things that I did with my ex wife during our marriage (putting her name on deeds on property that I paid for etc.) Carla literally saved my retirement despite some overwhelming odds. My life could have been a financial disaster if I had gone to another attorney! In addition to being a great lawyer she is a warm, caring person - absolutely no arrogance. She is also very personable, actually the...

Carla and her team are true professionals. They handled my case while I was located overseas and my spouse (now ex) is in another county. The communication between myself and her and her team were easy. Carla provided all necessary advises and answered my questions. From the moment that I hired their firm, stress level has gone down drastically because I knew that I am in good hands. Definitely worth hiring! I highly recommend Carla and her team for any...

Carla Hartley and her firm has represented me in two different family law cases. Both times, Carla has been nothing short of amazing with her thoroughness, professionalism, and her ability to achieve the results she promised. Carla and Frances worked together on our most recent case, and they were both wonderful to work with. They kept us updated during the whole process, always responsive to emails and phone calls and most importantly, they listened to us and cared about our...

When I met Hartley Law Group, I felt an immediate relieve that I made the right decision to hire her for my divorce case. Hartley Law Group and staff...

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...

Prior to contacting Hartley Law Group I had consulted 5-6 other attorneys in Ventura County. At each consultation I learned the attorney’s fees and how said fees were calculated but I learned little to nothing about anything else so after each consultation I left feeling confused, defeated and hopeless... Carla Hartley was my saving grace. From the second my call was answered by HL staff, I felt a sense of relief. I was treated with kindness and understanding and there...

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. Using 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...

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...

I wanted to take the time to post this review because the hardest part of any legal action is finding an attorney who is honest, reputable, talented and concerned about their clients welfare. Going through reviews prior to choosing an attorney is tedious and you're never sure if they're real reviews and I assure you this is a real review from a real client of Carla Hartley's. I had met with several attorney's before I chose Carla. With other attorney's...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and OUTSTANDING Divorce Attorney 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.

I retained my Navy retirement, my home and family. I couldn't of asked for a better outcome during my divorce. She, is...

We approached Hartley Law Group  firm with our request to adopt our nephew. Our situation had some difficult hoops to jump through.

I've found my lawyer for the next 18 years. When I searched for top lawyers in Ventura, Yelp did not disappoint. This firm is incredible. In five years of being in the system (and 3 other lawyers) I've never experienced the level of professionalism and communication that I have here. They are a well oiled machine. When I called for a consult I was very clear that I was looking for someone that was aggressive and would collaborate and hear...

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

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

Great experience with a seasoned staff

I needed an exceptional attorney to obtain a move away order, handle revision of custody issues and ongoing financial support.  Carla Hartley is the best attorney - I trust her judgement, legal expertise, integrity and proven ability to get the job done.  There were extenuating circumstances in my case.  The case was not straight forward and there was significant opposition to accomplishing the end result, but Carla perseveres.  She advises, and if you follow that advice, justice will prevail.

Patricia was amazing, although me and my wife 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.

Carla Hartley took care of my daughters divorce. The friendly environment helped my daughter feel at ease. Carla worked with my daughters schedule and made sure she understood everything that needed to be done regarding her divorce. Her compassionate spirit was evident as she walked my daughter through her divorce. She got things done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommended going to this law. You will not be disappointed.

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...

This firm is outstanding.

Where do i begin.. For starters, Carla and her staff over at Hartley Law Group are so amazing. They truly care about you and always listen to your wants/needs. I have been in my step daughters life ever since she was 3 months old. In our case, my step daughter's biological father was not in her life whatsoever. My wife and i wanted to adopt my step daughter but did not know where to begin in something that required so...

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.

I appreciate Pat and Team for being in my corner through it all. The empathy and caring ways they showed in being by my side made the experience quite comforting. Thanks to their hardwork and dedication, my daughter and I get to live life together. No words can express the blessing. The journey of fatherhood continues. Pat and Team will forever be a part of our family. Thank you.

Absolutely the best in the business. I have had a long professional relationship with this firm and I am grateful for their hard work!

In early 2020, after leaving the California court system with a feeling of being cast away, thrown out and discarded, it was recommended that I seek counsel to assist with my request to modify my child custody and visitation agreement from out of state. After doing some research, I knew that I needed a home run hitter in my corner. A firm that could navigate the troublesome waters of my particular situation. A team of professionals that would guide me...

We had a very complex termination of parental rights case that got caught up in all of COVID delays. Carla and her team despite many, many continuances from the other side and the court, were diligent to keep everyone focused and on task. Her strategy was solid from the beginning and we did prevail in the case. Her team is very responsive and also cognizant of spending your money by keeping communication on point. If you have a "family matters"...

I need to explain how amazing this woman is. I was led in a completely terrible direction with a awful lawyer in my custody arrangement from years ago. My old lawyer was late, never responded to me. Never mentioned she could help me with child support. Basically just ran up the costs for what? I'm not exactly sure. Not the case with Mrs. Hartley. She's a breath of fresh air. Her team and her do the work. In a matter...
