Will Hardman JR Review

Bill completely exceeded all expectations I had, because of the minimum fines and penalties I was facing. I called him the day before my case, giving him very little time to research. He was smart enough to have my case sent to another court to present my case. I was facing stiff fines, probation an...d points on my license(if not suspension). I took his advice and walked out with only a defensive driving course to complete. This is amazing, and I am very thankful for Bill's hard work and full attention he always gave to my case. I can not stress how helpful he was and the decision handed down. Thanks Bill, and will keep in touch.

Excellent lawyer

I retained William Hardman recently for a speeding ticket that I had received in Georgia. He was very good about staying in touch with me and informing me of anything that I needed to do. He did an excellent job on my case and was able to get the sentence reduced where it would not go on my license o...r on my insurance. I would highly recommend him to anyone that receives a traffic ticket in Georgia.

Best decision I made

Mr Hardmann Jr. was extremely knowledgeable in cases such as mine and this gave me great peace of mind. I was able to rely on his expertise to steer me through the legal process, which delivered the best result possible. I highly recommend him.

Very Professional

Mr. Hardman came highly recommended to me from one of his clients and I could not have been more happy with him or the outcome of my hearing. I was facing some jail time for probation violation. It was not if I was going to do time but how many days or weeks of jail time I was going to have sentenc...ed. Mr. Hardman was able to work with my probation officer and state prosecutor to get the judge to agree with substance abuse classes instead of jail time. Now I highly recommend him to others that need help with legal issues.

DUI Case

Bill is a wonderful DUI attorney! He was very responsive and very informative. When I would call with questions, he would either answer his phone or call me right back and would give detail explanations about what was going on with the case. He would spend a lot of time with me on the phone. He w...ent above and beyond for my son and got his case dismissed. I don't think you get find a better DUI attorney. It is hard to find a lawyer that is caring and attentive as Bill. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that has had a DUI. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome for my son - thanks to Bill!

"I truly enjoy seeing Bill around the courthouses in the metro area. He is incredibly knowledgable in the area of criminal defense, especially DUI law. I will openly admit that he walked me through my first solo ALS hearing in Gwinnett. It was something that a lot of attorneys probably wouldn't have had the time or patience for and I believe it speaks volumes about his character. That same type of knowledge, character and willingness to go the extra mile is evident in how he goes about representing his clients at all stages of a case. I strongly endorse Bill Hardman and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of a superb DUI attorney."

He is capable of turning on the charm to close a deal or putting on his armor to gear up for a fight. Simply put, Bill has a way of communicating effectively with prosecutors and police officers to get what he wants. The results he obtains for his clients speak for themselves."
