Robert A. Hartley believes that to be an effective attorney working in the complexities
of today’s legal system, simply showing up and getting the job done is not enough. In
every situation, Mr. Hartley goes beyond what is expected by his clients to ensure that the
client’s voice is heard and their goals are met. He backs his dedication and excellence with
a very simple moral ethic, “Do the right thing for the right reason.” It is this willingness to
exceed the client’s expectations that sets him apart from many of his contemporaries.

Mr. Hartley’s experience allows him a unique perspective, not only in the courtroom, but
also during the interview, discovery, research, case management, mediation, litigation,
negotiation and summation phases. Each period of a case is an opportunity for success
and Mr. Hartley maintains a constant focus on pursuing his client’s matters to their best
resolution every step of the way.

While holding an externship position with U.S. Senator Blanch Lincoln, Mr. Hartley
diligently pursued casework for veterans of the armed services within her constituency.
Concern, compassion and the commitment to going the distance makes Mr. Hartley the
litigator of choice for clients seeking aggressive, ethical representation.

Mr. Hartley received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Management from
the University of Redlands in Redlands, California. He continued on to earn his Juris
Doctor from the University of Arkansas, William H. Bowen School of Law in Little
Rock, Arkansas. In addition to his law studies, Mr. Hartley was a valued member of the
University’s Litigation Clinic where he assisted in a variety of case support work including
court document filings, subpoena issuance, discovery, deposition and divorce counseling.
