This lawyer is a crook

This lawyer was hired to transfer a automobile title from my relative to me. He was paid in advance. Never heard from him again. He did not respond to voicemails, emails, nor registered letters. File your complaints againt him at https://www.sccourts.org/discCounsel/howToFile.cfm

Terrible experience

I was referred to Mr. Hardy by another attorney to handle my father’s estate. From the beginning Mr. Hardy has avoided my calls and emails. He NEVER answers his cell phone. The voicemail on his office phone is always full, so a message can’t be left. I am currently trying to contact him to confirm he... sent the final documents to the Clerk of Court so my father’s estate can be closed (2 years after his death). If anyone speaks with Mr. Hardy, please ask him to contact me!!

Excellent job!

Handled our estate planning to include a trust, POA and wills. We feel so much better to have this taken care of before something unexpected happens and realizing it’s too late and bearing the burden of not being prepared. Not only kind and compassionate, but very thorough, honest and knowledgeable.... We are so thankful for the great job he did for us! Plan on using him again in the near future.

Excellent Experience!

Kevin Hardy recently prepared all of our necessary end-of-life documents (Living Wills, etc.). He gave us excellent advice and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He explained every aspect of the documents, and was invested in making sure that we understood what we needed to know. We can't ...recommend him highly enough.

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.
