Case dismissed

I sincerely would not recommend any other Charlotte lawyer to work on a drug possession case other than Benjamin Hardwick. Once again he got my case dismissed. He kept me well informed throughout the entire case and gave me a realistic overview of what my outcomes might have been. He never seemed ...to make claims or hypes that he was not able to back up. If you ever find yourself in a jam, I recommend hiring Benjamin Hardwick as your attorney.

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.
