In April 2003, Insight Plus's Director Mark Vincent reviewed our website. His feedback on Hartley Family Law Service's website was as follows:
"In conducting workshops and presenting conference papers on the marketing of professional service firms, I am often asked to provide examples of the best law firm web sites anywhere in the world. Naturally there are a number that I come across in American Law Firm Marketing publications as exemplars and which I mention, but when it comes to Australia I can find no better example of a practical, user-friendly, informative site than that developed by Hartley Family Law Services. The site meets all the criteria of a first class site - interactive, personal, flexible, interlinked and instantaneous."

I just wanted to thank you for your assistance over the past few months in relation to dealing with the children and their father.
I am happy to advise that both the children have been given permission to reside with me and I am currently applying for legal aid to make some formal/permanent arrangements.
I found your firm to be professional and most understanding with my case...
