Absolutely amazing lawyer, and truly excellent person!

Hiring Victoria Hardin to help me through my divorce was the best decision that I made. Throughout the entirety of the 3-plus years that I worked with her, she demonstrated the most incredible professionalism, intelligence and fought for me and my family's best interests with compassion and integrit...y. I did not want a "slimy", mean-spirited lawyer, and was so thankful for Attorney Hardin, as she expertly handled everything that the opposing side did with such grace and never once made me feel compromised or misrepresented. On the contrary I felt from the first that I could trust her to take my part and she always knew exactly what the right course would be. She was especially impressive in court, where her level of preparedness, intellect and professional conduct honestly made me feel (a little) bad for the opposing counsel because they simply could not compete or keep up with her. Do not be fooled by how gentle mannered she is when you meet her - she is a fighter in court and I was thankful for how she encouraged me to stand up for myself and what was best for my family. She communicated clearly and consistently with me and made sure I was always clear with what was happening. Ultimately she and her excellent team were able to bring my case to an ideal conclusion and apart from counting her as the most exceptional lawyer, I also feel privileged to have known her has a truly excellent person. You will not regret hiring Victoria Hardin to represent you, but you will absolutely regret it if you do not and have to face her in court! In summary, in my case, Victoria Hardin: 1. Was clear with me about what steps I needed to take at every turn, communicated quickly and efficiently with me. 2. Always, always knew exactly what was going on with my case and was never caught off guard or unprepared 3. Never overcharged me or wasted my time. I quickly learned that if she did not call me for a period of time, it was because nothing had happened, and she did not want to waste my money with calls or emails that had no new information (really, this is important!) 4. Worked very well with opposing counsel and had excellent relationships which ultimately led to a settlement out of court. 5. Was always extremely prepared for court, with copies of all necessary papers bound for me to follow along with. She was so well-organized, the judge and even opposing counsel relied on her binders because they didn't have the same level of organization on their side! 6. Her legal team and employees are amazing too. They are helpful and kind and I felt they actually cared about me and my family. Truly a pleasure to work with. 7. Integrity, integrity, integrity - I was very worried that this ugly divorce process would get nasty and make me feel compromised in my values. I needn't have worried with Victoria Hardin. She fought tooth and nail for me and my family, but did so with integrity, honesty and a truly moral manner, not to mention grace and good humor. I found her tone and approach to be absolutely perfect and was impressed with her as an excellent person and not just a great lawyer. 8. Nobody could possibly work harder than Victoria for her clients, and it shows

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 suga...rcoat 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.

Arrogant lawyer

hired VIctoria Hardin 5 years ago , case should of been transferred to another state, she did not help at all in the transfer the case, kept asking for money, then withdrawal came right after. tried to contact her to continue the case and pay the money that she requested . kept giving fake excuses w...hy she can not even take the case again, the last excuse that she she has a lot of client that she can NOT handle and she doesn't need any more client. why you still advertise for yourself if you don't need any more client any more. don't hire her, very arrogant.

The Hardin Law Firm is currently accepting new clients. We are very selective with who we choose to represent. We recognize that it can be frustrating if our firm declines to offer representation. For all of our clients, a written contract is provided which includes the client's responsibility for pay all fees owed in a timely manner. In the event our firm withdraws from a case due to a client's failure to comply with his/her contractual obligations, such as the client's failure to pay, future legal services are declined. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations.

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.
