Hargrave Family Law has a great team and does a great job, I have had experiences with family law attorneys and this was the best experience I have had and felt like they really wanted to get the divorce final. Very fair and understanding. Misty Cole was great representation for me and made the change midway through my divorce and wish I would have made it sooner. Great job, fair and great follow ups. Out of the 4 attorneys I have used this one I would recommend this one above all.

My experience with Hargrave Family Law was fantastic. They were able to take my case with a very quick turn around. They were personable, caring, thorough and have been amazing all around. If I ever needed anything else, I would go to them first. I worked with Misty Cole and Crystal Martinez, and thank them for making something that had been super stressful into something that was manageable and easier to deal with.
