Posted by anonymous | October 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

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 trem...endous 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.

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 th...e 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.

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.

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 S...heriffs 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!!

Straight-forward, Hard-working advocate

Ms Hardin sticks to the issues without letting irrelevant drama cloud your perceptions about your case. She is excellent at expectation management and keeps you informed at every step. She responded to my inquiry BEFORE I had hired her and after I briefly explained my situation, she explained the p...rocess. I hired her to represent me with a divorce, involving custody and support issues, without a second thought. She is competent and confident.
