Founding Attorney
If you are on this page, you are likely searching for an attorney to assist with your divorce or other family-related issues. I will assume, and encourage, that you are shopping around for the best attorney in your area. Here is a guess at what you've seen so far: countless pages of "aggressive" family lawyers eager to "fight to get you what you deserve." Now, let me tell you the aggressive family lawyer strategy: "we will engage in petty behavior, pick endless fights with opposing counsel, get a bad reputation with the judge, destroy your relationship with your ex-partner and children, and, you guessed it, send you a high bill for all of the above."
My name is Thomas Hartin. I am a lifelong New Yorker, growing up in Queens County and currently residing in Nassau County. I received my electrical engineering degree from Manhattan College (2011) and my law degree from Fordham University School of Law (2016). At Hartin Family Law, our core values, guiding every decision we make, are as follows:
1. Focus on Collaborative Solutions. Our goal is to keep your business out of court whenever possible. Mediation (and other collaborative methods) allow for faster case resolution and more personalized solutions based on your needs, all while keeping your information private and out of the public eye. Of course, when court appearances are required, we will always be there by your side.
2. Alternative Fee Arrangements. Our pricing is transparent from the start, and our number one goal is to achieve the best outcome for our clients within their budgets. For this, we offer multiple types of alternative fee arrangements, including fixed fee billing. This means that no matter how complex your case becomes, you will not be charged more than the agreed-upon amount.
3. Relentless Preparation. Any attorney can walk into a courtroom and start a shouting match. In our experience, these attorneys are less prepared to discuss the merits of their case, and therefore, are less likely to achieve a favorable outcome for their clients. We will always be knowledgeable of the law and the facts at every stage of your case, and will present those arguments with confidence. As Teddy Roosevelt said – speak softly and carry a big stick.
I invite you to reach out today to learn how Hartin Family Law can serve you.
