About
A firm built on straight answers.
Hartwell & Reyes was founded in 2012 on a simple observation: most people hire a lawyer once or twice in their lives, at a moment when they are least equipped to evaluate one. So we run the firm the way we would want to be treated as clients: flat fees wherever the law allows, written estimates where it doesn't, and honest odds before you spend a dollar.
The firm handles family law, criminal defense, estate planning, personal injury, employment, and small-business matters across Franklin, Delaware, Union, Licking, and Fairfield counties.
