Very Attentive Staff
I spoke with Joshua about options available to me regarding a reckless driving situation. What is absolutely outstanding is the time and consideration made available to me. I left the conversation better able to make an informed decision.
"A few years ago when I had a trial scheduled a few blocks from Charles's/ Van's office, a lawyer I respect steered me Van's way when I was looking for the lay of that courthouse's land. Van called me soon after I left him a message, and gave me an on-the-money -- almost prescient -- reply about how to steer my client clear of a jailable conviction. That both shows his good read of dealing with the prosecutors and judges he appears before, and his generosity with his time with fellow criminal defense lawyers. I recommend Van's services."
"I endorse this lawyer. Van is the smartest traffic defense lawyer I know. He is a leader in his field and there are a multitude of satisfied clients who agree with me."
"I have known Van since the 1980's and I can attest to his being not only THE BEST reckless driving attorney in Virginia, he is one of the most honest and principled men I have ever met. Van became an attorney a number of years before I did, and he has served as one of my primary mentors. I have referred my own family members' to Van in the past, and I will not hesitate to do so in the future. Judges hire this guy for representation. That fact alone says everything you need to know about how much other attorneys trust Van's legal knowledge and litigation skills."
"If you get arrested for DUI I'd highly recommend Van. He does a terrific job, has a great reputation and a very, very good staff."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I regularly refer Criminal, DUI & Traffic cases to Van in the Lexington, Virginia area. He has an excellent reputation for successfully resolving criminal/dui/traffic issues for his clients. He is a respected member of the bar and is an effective litigator."
"You definitely can not go wrong in selecting Van as your attorney. He cares about his clients and always goes the extra mile to detect and fight any issues that may be present. I have been lucky enough to spend time discussing DUI issues with him at various NCDD seminars. He is also only a phone call or email away if I ever need assistance. His support staff is second to none and you could not be in better hands. He strives to give clients a fair shake in an area where the odds are often stacked against him from the beginning, yet he is still able to be a success! Hiring Van is the best decision you could ever make."
"Virginia Reckless Driving and DUI lawyer Van Hardenbergh has proven to be an aggressive and effective advocate for his clients. Van is dedicated to becoming the best possible lawyer he can be and has earned a reputation among his peers as a bright, hard-working lawyer. For example, he recently was able to apply a ruling by appeals courts in a DUI case to calibrations done in Reckless Driving Speeding cases. His intelligence and aggressiveness has led to outstanding results for his clients. I highly recommend Van Hardenbergh"
"I endorse this lawyer's work with the highest regard. Van Hardenbergh is the top DUI Attorney in Southwestern Virginia. He runs his practice with a level of precision and discipline that is consistent with his miliary background. I am in Fairfax, almost 200 miles away, and I am just glad that Van isn't here to compete with me for clients. Nevertheless, he is always there when I need help with insight into the most technical legal issues. Van is a respected member of the National College for DUI Defense, and provides assistance to attorneys nationwide on a wide variety of legal issues."
"We refer clients to Van on a regular basis because we know he will take good care of them. Van works hard to be the best lawyer possible. Van joined the National College of DUI Defense and quickly became a contributing member. Van is an experienced lawyer who is always striving to become better."
"Over the years, I have come to know and trust Attorney Hardenbergh. I cannot help but to be impressed. He has emailed me and I him at various hours of the day, night and on the weekends where we discus details on trial strategy and the science of defending the citizen among us has been accused of a DUI. He evidences the very best in our profession. Eager to learn and to share, he uses his reputation, knowledge and experience to maximize the chances of obtaining a fair, just and ethical result. He has developed a fine reputation that far exceeds the bounds of his state as evidenced by this lawyer who is physically located in Central Pennsylvania who can positively attest to his fine legal acumen."
