I initially gave this group a great review, however I now amending that to reflect how things…read moreprogressed since that point. I worked with Carlton legal group to complete a bankruptcy. I was garnished for thousands of dollars, and was initially assured I would get "basically all of it" back. That was nearly $3,000. I paid well over half of my fees. The money I was supposed to get back from garnishments was supposed to pay for the remainder of the fees and I was told that I would also get a bit over $1000 back, and the check arrives within 3 months of bankruptcy settlement. My bankruptcy was completed in early October of last year. Around January I started sending emails to the paralegal that was assigned to me. No responses. A month or so later I called, was told she would check into it and call me back. No response. Another month later I called again, was told "I'll bring it up to him in a meeting this afternoon, but it's only like $200". Never heard another word after that call, which has been approximately 6 months ago now. So basically what I'm getting from this is "I got my money, so your money isn't really my problem". And the calculations are most definitely not adding up, so I'm guessing they pocketed it all. If that is the attitude you would like to have, then just charge more ‍ don't promise a single mother of 3 who got screwed and is starting over completely on her own "over $1000" after everything is said and done only to completely blow them off after the fact. That was a huge financial blow to me. In today's economic climate, honesty and integrity really are more important than ever because we have got to make our dollars stretch. I chose this lawyer after being assured in my initial consultation that I would get everything back. I would most definitely not recommend this lawyer to anyone for a bankruptcy, particularly if you have already been garnished. He may look good on paper, but he's just another greasy lawyer. I highly suggest finding someone more honest to give your hard-earned money to.

My son had the blessing of being represented by Mr. Hesley in a complicated case consisting of…read moremultiple infractions and serious charges. I found Mr. Helsley to be honest, forthright and to the point. He probed well beyond the legal aspects of the charges to understand my son's background, the root cause of his decisions and actions, and the compass that governed his motivation and judgement. Mr. Helsley and his staff invested time and energy to understand the many facets and perspectives of all the parties in this matter. His forthright and unvarnished questions prompted my son to think deeply about his life and opened his eyes to consequences, previously unconsidered in the exuberance and blindness of youth. As a result of his diligence, Mr. Helsley developed an astonishing legal strategy and defense that proved to be a stellar success by all measures - truly a brilliant 'win-win' for all parties. The combination of Mr. Helsley's life-long wisdom, his decades of legal experience, and his strong relationships of mutual trust and respect with officials who serve the interests of the Commonwealth of Virginia, culminated in an outcome of this case that is far better than what my son merits or deserves. It avoids options that would have significantly restricted my son's potential and options for his future. Yet it assigns consequences for his actions and provides a path for redemption, sufficient to allow my son to learn valuable life lessons and make better life choices. Mr. Hesley and his amazing team are truly hidden treasures and unsung heroes, nestled in Harrisonburg, Virginia. However, they do not appear to suffer fools lightly. My advice is don't approach them if you just seek to get a charge behind you or if you just want to be 'one of many' in the shuffle of the legal system. Do not call them unless you are willing to face hard questions and are prepared to be completely honest, forthcoming, genuine in your relationship and earn their trust. If you choose them to represent you - and if they choose to accept you as a client - you will surely be in the sound hand and heart of a true 'Virginia Gentleman' surrounded with legal brilliance, sound character, and deep care - a rare combination.
