custody case

First and foremost when I called ms.Harding office and spoke to her she listen to everything I had to say and she answered all of my questions and I felt a connection from the first conversation. She told me to think about it and call her back if I wanted to retain her. A few days later I called her... back set up a date to meet. Ms.Harding gather all of my information and she did her homework. She went to custody court with me and I can say she is very good at what she does. I would definitely use her again and I also would definitely recommend her to others.

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!!!

One of the Best in Philadelphia!!!

I was worried, overwhelmed, and constantly thinking about the "what ifs" and "what could go wrong" in my legal battles with child custody and child abuse as a father. Mrs. Harding was recommended to me by a friend. Within the first meeting with Mrs. Harding put all my fears to rest. Not only did Mrs.... Harding allowed me the chance to tell my story and actively listen to what I had to say, but she walked me through the legal process step by step and explained my responsibilities and her responsibilities in trying to win my case. Mrs. Harding mapped out a potential plan of attack and a road map for each course of actions. Furthermore, Mrs. Harding was easy to remain in contact with through telephone and email. In addition, Mrs. Harding would also communicate at times through text messaging if she was busy just to let me know she received a message and the time she would be getting back to me which placed me at ease a lot of times in wondering if she received my calls or emails. There was never a time when she could not answer any of my questions. More importantly, Mrs. Harding knew her stuff, what she was doing and could make court reference about it. In court she fought and argued for me...and I felt it! I would definitely recommend Mrs. Harding and I am glad I had her on my side in winning my cases. As for Mrs. Harding’s cost for representation, she was more than reasonably and worked with me setting up a good payment arrangement. In fact, Mrs. Harding’s cost was so good I used her in a second case which was cheaper than a previous lawyer I selected. However, be aware of outside cost such as "notes of testimony" which are transcripts of what is said in your court hearings. Notes of testimony are not required cost BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND their purchase as they increase the chances of your lawyer fighting on your behalf by contradicting statements or supporting evidence on your behalf.
