Personal injury · Family law · Brookhaven
Hartwell & Pierce represents injured people and families in difficult transitions. You will speak to an attorney, not an intake script, usually the same day you call.
I · Practice areas
We deliberately stay narrow. Handling only injury and family matters means our attorneys know the local judges, adjusters and opposing counsel, and the way each tends to negotiate.
01After a crash, a fall or a workplace injury, you should be focused on getting well. We handle the insurers, the evidence and the medical paperwork.
02Divorce, custody and support affect everything. We aim for clear, durable agreements first, and we are ready in court if the other side leaves us no choice.
By the numbers
Sample figures for this concept. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
II · Attorneys
Every client has an attorney, a paralegal and a direct line. If you call and your attorney is in court, you will hear back the same business day.

III · Our approach
You will always know what happens next. At each stage we tell you what we are doing, why, and how long it should take.
We listen to what happened and what you need. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you to someone who is.
We gather records, photos and statements, and give you a written plan with a realistic timeline.
Most matters settle. We prepare each one as if it will go to trial, which is how you get a fair result.
When the other side will not move, we try the case, with you prepared and informed at every step.
