James was a tremendous help when it came to a discrimination complaint I had submitted with NYSDHR. He immediately walked me through the entire complaint process and what it would entail. I’m so thankful for his expertise as he was able to help me reach a settlement! I would recommend him to anyone who has dealt with any issue regarding discrimination.
I hired James Hartt to represent me against a government agency for violating my human rights as a female with a disability. I hired him for a second case against my employer for retaliation. Both cases were dismissed as NPC. I have a third retaliation case pending with the NYSDHR and will not have Mr. Hartt represent me again.
He did very little in either case; albeit the minimum required which was basically copying and pasting my written complaint into legal format. He added very little to the fact finding conference that took place failing to point out anything relevant or pertinent to my case. He was inconsistent with his information yet consistent with making excuses each time I had a question or need.
Several thousand dollars wasted only to be failed in both cases.
My co-worker discriminated against me because of my national origin, making fun of my accent and humiliating me on a daily basis at my workplace. My boss did nothing to stop it and retaliated against me by firing me after I complained about it. Well, James brought a suit against my former boss and co-worker and he won. I am so grateful to James! I highly recommend his services.
James was great throughout the entire process. Simplified things for me and kept me up to date. Highly recommend. He’s personable and humble and makes you feel valued. Unlike some attorneys that make you feel uneducated.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure to represent you, Rachel.
Worst decision I've ever made on a case that I should have won. It cost me $3,000 for a discrimination case that should have been free. Definitely will not refer him to anyone. {{ Thank you for reaching out to me I gave you an extra star and let me point out that I did tell you in a text I feel like I'm the Google review Nazi. When I do my reviews but you misread that the wrong way, that's what I didn't like about texting in a lawsuit it can be misread wrong. Especially if you don't use periods commas and so forth. also that women misread a text as well and thought I was being rude. But it happens we're human we all make mistakes. And that's what I really regret is the texting throughout the whole case. And again thank you for reaching out and calling me I appreciate it. }}

Attorney James is truly exceptional.
From the very beginning, he has shown professionalism, patience, and genuine care for my situation. He communicates clearly, responds promptly, and always takes the time to explain every step so I never feel lost or overwhelmed. What stands out the most is his compassion he understands that life gets complicated, and he never judged or pressured me. Instead, he supported me through every challenge and made me feel like I wasn’t facing things alone.
His dedication to getting my case resolved has been incredible. He goes above and beyond, and you can tell he takes pride in his work and in helping his clients. I’m extremely grateful for everything he has done for me, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs an honest, knowledgeable, and dependable attorney.
Thank you, Attorney James, for your outstanding service and for truly caring about your clients.

Thank you so much, Ed. It’s because of clients like you that I continue to practice Law.
Working with James was an absolutely outstanding experience. I needed help reviewing an employment offer, a contract, and a non-compete agreement, and he guided me through every detail with exceptional clarity and professionalism. He explained the legal points in a way that was easy to understand, highlighted risks I would never have noticed on my own, and provided practical recommendations that made me feel fully informed and protected.
What really stood out was his responsiveness and patience — he took the time to answer all of my questions, no matter how small, and made sure I felt confident before moving forward. His expertise in employment law is clear, and his calm, knowledgeable approach made a complicated and stressful situation much easier to navigate.
I truly cannot recommend James highly enough. If you need someone trustworthy, thorough, and genuinely dedicated to their clients' best interests, he is the one to call. An amazing experience from start to finish.
