Patty was able to help me with a fabricated domestic violence charge levied against me during a contentious custody case. She leveraged her knowledge of both practices of law to get me the best outcome possible and put her neck out for me. I will be forever grateful for hiring her to represent me!

Substance abuse

Patty is an exceptional attorney. She kept me well informed throughout my case and was always available for consultation. Thanks to her efforts , my case was dismissed and my record was wiped clean . I have recommended her to multiple friends who have retained her services. Sent from my ipad

Domestic

I recently hired Patty Hardt for a domestic abuse situation that I had based on a referral. I took advantage of the free consultation which lasted approximately 45 mins. and from that point on Patty was by my side through each step of my case. The judge ruled in my favor and charges were dropped. I am forever grateful. She knows her stuff.
