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 a...m forever grateful. She knows her stuff.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
