Reviews
Consummate professional
Mr. Bartley handled my case with a personal touch, not just as another client. He took the time to understand my situation and gave great advice. Highly reccomended!!
Our experience with Attorney Bartley was a very positive one. He provided us with a professional but also very personal service that relieved us of the anxiety and stress we were going through at the time. He gave us hope and more importantly delivered on his promise. I would gladly recommend this office to anyone I know.
Awesome and professional service
After talking to several attorneys who told us we couldn’t proceed with our case, we met attorney Shawn Bartley, and the rest is history. He reviewed our case and assured us he could handle the case and prevail and that’s what he did. Despite all the obstacles, he was very professional and supportive which gave us peace and comfort during our difficult period. Thank you Shawn for everything and God bless.
Friendly trustworthy and highly professional
Mr Bartley is an amazing attorney as he is always available very empathetic has exquisite knowledge of the law and the courtroom. He is very affordable and will work with you. I have dealt with many attorneys who were expensive unorganized and not available when you neede them. Shawn’s knowledge of the law and personal attention will win you your case and and you will keep him as your number one attorney.
Truly the best!
Shawn and his staff did a phenomenal job for me, getting positive results. I had a very difficult case with my stepdaughters following my husband’s death. Shawn believed in me, believed that I had been badly mistreated, and fought to get what was right. Through it all, he kept telling me to “Stay strong!” - I’m not sure he knew how badly I wanted it to just be over. His words enabled me to continue fighting. The work that he and his staff did got me a fair settlement. If I ever need an attorney again, his is the first number I will call!!!
Most caring counsel!
Shawn Bartley is by far one of the best counsels I have ever had the opportunity to work with. He cares for his clients beyond pay. He wants to see their situation resolved, and thus thinks outside the box, and follows up to make sure his clients are satisfied with the outcome of his work.
I found Shawn to be a very honest and comforting attorney. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family and I highly recommend to anyone seeking a great attorney.
Best Attorney Ever!
If I have any questions, Shawn is the first person that I call. He truly is there for his clients! I have worked with other attorneys in the past who were interested in the pay and not the person. Shawn is all about the person. He gives you everything that he has to give and only wants the best for his client. You would be hard pressed to find anyone more honest. He surrounds himself with good people too. His staff is first rate! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.
Shawn & his staff were very fast, courteous and efficient!
Very good experience
Shawn and his team were extremely helpful throughout our whole process of working with them. They made everything go smoothly and quickly. They were very professional but personable at the same time. I highly recommend this law firm.
Efficient and Helpful
I have worked with Shawn Bartley and his staff since 2011. They helped me establish a LLC and prepare operating agreements for the business. They understand the needs of a starting business and provide further assistance as we have grown.
Straight Forward, Clear, Concise and Responsive!
We never gave it much thought before we decided to file for bankruptcy. But the moment we did we reached out to our network and was referred to Shawn Bartley and Associates. After meeting with Shawn it was clear we made the right decision to file and chose the right attorney. He asked all of the right questions and provided a clear understanding of what we needed to do to prepare and move through the process. Following his direction we won our case without any complication or extra fees. The Shawn Bartley and Associates team was professional and responsive the process and I will recommend them to my family and friends.
Property Management and Planning
I came to Bartley and Associates LLC within the last year and didn't realize how much I needed their professional services. Mr. Bartley initially met with my wife and I and provided a thorough and complete picture of our total property needs, both personal and professional, short and long term. Having a plan of action is the most important tool you can have in preparing for your future and I feel we're in very good hands with Bartley and Associates. When it comes to property call Bartley and Associates. I recently loss my sister and Bartley and associates were there providing me with the necessary guidance to settle matters regarding the closing of her estate. I would have been utterly loss in moving through this process alone.
Great Experience
It's been two years that i have used Shawn-bartley and it was a grezt pleasure working with this company. They held my hands from the firzt first day until the day when my case was closed.
Would Highly Recommend
Even though Shawn Bartley and Associates, LLC is a small firm, the size of the company matters little when compared with the quality of the service. I was very impressed with the customer service when I first entered the office, to the excellent and meticulous review of my document by my paralegal, and finally the attention to detail by Mr. Bartley himself. While I pray that I never have to seek legal help of that nature again, if I had to, I would again seek the services of Shawn Bartley and Associates, LLC.
Awesome Attorney!
Shawn is an awesome attorney. Great negotiator and very experienced in the courtroom. I would absolutely recommend his services.
Excellent - First place you should go if you need a lawyer!
Everyone was very professional all the way around! Would recommend them to anyone!
Very competent and compassionate Attorney
Shawn Bartley is indeed an excellent attorney. Not only compassionate but empathetic, he consistently demonstrates strong analytical skills. Mr. Bartley guided me through filing Bankruptcy while I was battling Stage IV cancer. He thought of a reasonable course of action and helped make sense of the volume of information, court proceedings and my options. In addition, Mr. Bartley was sensitive to my on-going treatment and challenges. I was very grateful and impressed with how he communicated with my Creditors and addressed the Court on my behalf. Shawn doesn't just view you as a client but as an individual which distinguishes him from "other" attorneys. I highly recommend him... Mr. Bartley is one of a kind and the consistency of his efforts only enhances his representation of and efforts for his clients.
