Simply the best around
Victoria Hardin is an excellent attorney. She guided me through a complicated and long divorce. I was always able to rely on her. She communicated well with me and I always felt that she had the situation under control. I highly recommend her and her entire legal team.

Mr
Victoria taught me a lot about family law. She was very important in me getting primary custody of my daughter. As a father there are many roadblocks for men so you really need a lawyer who will fight for you against the odds. She’s great and I always felt she was available for me! I was an out of state client so all this was very important to me.

Father fighting for children
I had consulted with other lawyers before I visited Ms. Hardin's office. All of them blew hot air at me and made the situation feel like a money grab. Lines like " gimmie this much money and I'll do this and this." One of the first things Ms. Hardin told me at consultation was that she would not sugarcoat my chances. That was a relief to hear and was much appreciated. I was successful in my quest thanks to Ms. Hardin, but I can honestly say if I had not been, it wouldn't be because of a lack of effort on her part. Keep in mind you have to have a case to make a case.

Seriously good at her job!
Victoria Hardin is a fantastic attorney that genuinely cares about her clients. I have used her services since 2016 and am always pleased with the results. Victoria was thorough in her preparation and did a great job setting my expectations for the equitable distribution of assets and child custody. Furthermore, Victoria demonstrates strong reasoning and litigation skills, evidenced by the motions she drafts and the results she gets in court. I highly recommend her services!

Divorce; A Marathon not a Sprint...
Victoria and I met in 2013 for a divorce consult and again in 2015 after my marriage failed for sure. Advice she gave me helped me to secure a 50/50 custody relationship as a Dad in NC. Her legal advice and steps to achieve this was a marathon not a sprint. She worked through a situation over a course of months to undo financial orders from a Judge who was hostile to my case. The opposing Attorney drug out the temporary for months. Victoria filed motions, depositions and attempts to identify hidden bank accounts. Also, worked through mediation where we could. In the end, I have the time with my kids I deserve and financial judgements can live with even though she advised me to take it to the judge. In hindsight I should have let her. She gave ethical, clear and direct guidance through out the divorce proceedings which concluded 12/2017 and knows the local rules. She plays by the rules even when the other attorneys don't. If you are reading this good Karma to you and prayers for your situation. Document everything, for you may not know what you need, until you don't have it. Thanks Victoria and Staff!, MH

Great from start to finish!
Victoria conducted my divorce case with professional skill and useful advice. She knows her way around the courts in Cumberland County, NC, never setting unrealistic expectations. I followed her advice and we navigated the case to a fair outcome. I would hire her again if needed.

Exceptional
Ms. Hardin far exceeded my expectations as a legal representative. I was able to have a very comprehensive consult while deployed and she and her office were very responsive to any questions and/or concerns I had throughout my divorce process. I had a very positive experience and could not have asked for a better representative. Highly recommend.

Separated and considering divorce.
Excellent consultation. In what appears to be the most hopeless situation, Attorney Hardin gave great advice. She is direct and to the point. Though you may not hear what to hear (I did not), her guidance is on poin. She both depressed and made me laugh simultaneously. She will definitely be the attorney I'll hire should the time come

Professional, straight forward, expert in her field, and caring advocate.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided by Mrs. Hardin. During my domestic violence consult, Mrs. Hardin listened, absorbed the details of my case, made recommendations, listened to my opinion, and answered all of my questions. In court, Mrs. Hardin was a tremendous help for me while addressing the intricacies of my case which resulted in expeditious and favorable resolution. I have my life back. Mrs. Hardin is a shining example of professional, caring and knowledgeable attorney. She listened, advocated and kept me informed throughout the proceedings of my case. I am very pleased with the quality, responsiveness and extensive legal expertise of Mrs. Hardin. Thank you.

Simply the BEST
After two long stressful years my husband's custody/child support case has finally come to an end with his ex-wife. Although it was emotionally grueling, I feel that we had the best attorney by our side to represent us (him). I say us because although she was not representing me she took the time to answer my questions and concerns and made certain that I felt reassured that everything was being addressed that needed to be. Mrs. Hardin has a heart of gold and holds the best interest of the child very dear. Our case was not a simple one and it did not completely go our way, but I firmly believe that we would have walked away with nothing if she had not been so diligent. Choosing an attorney is an investment, one that should not be taken lightly. If you do not want to put in time or work for your case, then Mrs. Hardin is not for you. She likes to be prepared for court, and she will not go into battle blind. They are all expensive, but with her, you get what you pay for. Looking back there are many things I wish I could change about my husband's situation with his ex-wife but I would always choose Mrs. Hardin to represent him again and again.

Best in the business
Mrs. Hardin's a fantastic lawyer! My case has just been closed and I can say without a doubt no one could have done a better job. My case was riddled with problems from the beginning . The first being our judge became sick and couldn't continue on our case. Mrs Hardin pushed forward countering all the obstacles of not knowing who our judge would be each hearing. She answered every question truthfully, even when it wasn't the answer I wanted. She fought relentlessly to ensure I received the best possible outcome for my case. Without her help I wouldn't have received more visitation and my child support would still be overcharged. She even ensured that the over charge I paid in child support was repaid to me retroactively. She was always very nice to my wife and made us feel very comfortable when we asked questions or had concerns. She always presented herself as a professional both in court and in her office. Victoria Hardin cares about her clients, it is evident in her work ethic and her interaction with my family and I. She is the best, no doubt about it.

Best Lawyer and legal experience
I was going through a child custody case, and had the pleasure of knowing and hiring Victoria to represent me. From the first consultation call, I knew that I had found my attorney. I felt immediate trust to Victoria I'm a type of person who don't get impressed easily. However, with dealing with Victoria, and seeing how diligent and hard working she is, being highly impressed with Victoria is an understatement. Victoria had earned my trust from day 1, and she has earned my trust 100 folds since she's worked on my case. If you're looking for a great attorney, who will always have your back, and have your best interests at all times, Victoria is the one to hire. Thank you Victoria for all your previous and continues hard and great work. Much appreciated.

By far the best investment!
I have had unpleasant experiences with Lawyers. I am sure we all have. My original lawyer had managed my Divorce and Custody. When problems arose with my Ex-husband, I returned to the same lawyer for answers and solutions. Unfortunately, I wound up with even more problems. After having several Sheriffs continually stopping by my house and work to re=serve me papers I had already received, I was referred to Hardin Law Firm. I expressed my concerns with Victoria Hardin, who gave me council on the matters set before me. She was very straight forward on what she needed from me as a client for my case, caught errors and information that I had missed, and explained much of the process that was to come to me. Her retainer was a little more than I expected, but she was wonderfully diligent in her work on my case. She is helping to clean up so much of the mess left by the previous lawyer, and even my Ex-husbands lawyer, that I could not be much happier with her performance. As far as the fees, most of the time, you get what you pay for. Other lawyers wanted about the same amount and were not even sure they could nor wanted to help me. Victoria has been worth every penny so far. I continue to expect exceptional work from her in finishing up my case. Heaven forbid I have any more legal problems, but I will certainly look toward her if I do. Thank you again!!

good giving inform
when I received her information that she don't do small claim and she gave me her refer to another attorney as Kirk Nance as I believe she knows him about his work on small claim and I did call Kirk and send email to him and never heard back lately . I don't know why he is not respond back So that mean I still need help find a person who can work small claim outside the state as in NC area.

EXCELLENT Lawyer!!!! Helping me currently.
Ms. Hardin is dedicated, vigilant, communicative, sassy, pro-active and professional. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She was able to pick up the pieces of my support/custody case after my previous lawyer allowed it to be trampled upon. She not only picked it up and ran with it, she did more for me in the one hour consult PRIOR to me retaining her than my old lawyer did the entire time he was retained by me. She's the one you want. TRUST ME!

Attorney Hardin was extremely effective at protecting my child custody rights. In the midst of a difficult time of separation from my spouse, I was subject to lies and dirty tactics. She advised me of the appropriate steps of action to take and used her expertise to out-perform the opponent. She demonstrated dedication and integrity, all while truly fighting for my cause. In the past, I have had a negative perception of lawyers , but can report with overwhelming gratitude that I love my attorney! She helped me protect the future relationship with my daughter. No words could ever express how much I value having Victoria Hardin in my corner through this nightmare of a life transition. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality representation. Thank you also to her staff for being so polite and supportive of my needs.
