Relocation and Child Custody

Ms. Harding is highly recommended. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I am filing for relocation and i have been informed and updated in a timely fashion. As a frustrating experience it’s always a pleasure to work with someone that demonstrates empathy. I will definitely work with Ms Ha...rding in the future if any other issues arise.

Tried and True

My husband attempted to obtain primary physical and shared legal custody of his son for six and a half years on his own, but to no avail. We asked around in search of the perfect lawyer. Ms. Harding came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from someone I love and trust! From the very first time that we met Ms. Hardin...g we knew that we were in good hands. Because this case had gone on for so many years, we had a lot to say and she listened. Ms. Harding was not overwhelmed by the mound out evidence that we brought to her on our initial visit. No matter how many times my husband became worried, she always knew exactly what to say to calm and redirect him to the most important subject at hand- HIS SON. She never missed a scheduled hearing and answered all calls and emails in a timely manner. Ms. Harding did a stellar job presenting the evidence. Thanks to Ms. Harding justice prevailed! Our case was won! My husband received not only primary physical, but without requesting the judge also awarded my husband SOLE LEGAL CUSTODY!

Custody case for the WIN

Ms. Harding is not only thorough but she is very professional. She made me feel at ease and had my back every step of the way. She answered all of my questions and concerns in regards to the custody case. My child's father filed a case against me and I ended up winning the case. She is the best of th...e best and I would highly recommend.

Simply The Best!!

I was in need of a good lawyer that was caring and passionate and not just looking to take people's hard earned money. I needed a lawyer to file an appeal on my behalf to overturn judge's ruling that my son was to go live with his father primarily and with me three weekends out of the month. This is... to take affect a year and half after she made her ruling. My ex husband came to court with no factual information only hear say and that was good enough for the judge. After the ruling I contacted Ms.Harding and the first time we talked she listened to everything I had to say and did not rush me off the phone and was very knowledgeable. After our conversation I hired Ms. Harding to appeal to superior court on my behalf. Not only did she move very quickly she let me know what was going on every step of the way. If I didn't understand something she would explain it to me to put my mind at ease. It was never a time I had to guess about what was going on, she would let me know right away. Even though superior court said the judge did not follow the guidelines, unfortunately they still upheld the judge's decision. If I would have had Ms. Harding when I first started going to court with my ex husband I would not have needed to file an appeal in the first place because it would have been in my favor. I definitely would hire Ms. Harding again. KUDOS to Ms.Harding!!!

Child Custody Case (Exceptions Hearing)

I asked an attorney friend of mine to refer me to a great lawyer that could handle my case. Once I laid out what the issues were, he immediately referred me to Lisa Harding. He said she was the right person to handle my case and she would understand my position as an African American mother. He wa...s right! Lisa had agreed to represent me only a few weeks before the hearing. I was able to provide her with what she needed, as prior to me retaining her, I was representing myself. However, due to all the emotions, I knew I needed an attorney that was going to get the job done and stick to facts, as well as object to those things that were not compliant by law. That was the best money I spent and If I had to use Attorney Harding again, I WILL!! She was in there like Olivia Pope ;-) and I walked out of there with my son! I even saw her handle herself in the hall when his father and family tried to keep me from walking out of there with my son. I was confident, my witnesses were confident and we were victorious! Thank you lady!
