I hired Bill Hardman for my case and he was remarkable.

Mr. Hardman accepted my case after a brief phone conversation. Mr. Hardman was very straightforward with me and assured me of all of the possibilities with my case. Mr. Hardman worked diligently on my case and assured I was kept up to date with anything about my case.

Superstar Lawyer

Mr. Hardman is an incredibly hard-working and diligent lawyer to have on your case. He kept me updated and reassured throughout the entire process (even considering the delays with covid). We received the best outcome possible, and I fully attribute that to Mr. Hardman's experience and work ethic. I ...would recommend him to anyone looking for help on a legal matter.

Excellent Attorney

Bill is an amazing attorney. He represented me in Athens, GA and was able to get my charges dismissed and reduced to what they should have been according to the law. The cost was minimal and his cost was much less than any attorney in GA of his caliber. He really cares about his clients and he takes ...the time to speak to you and explain the law to put you at ease regarding your case. I highly recommend him if you need representation.

Great guy

I contacted Bill about my case in December 2020 and my case was set for January 2021. He spoke with me and answered all my questions and asked myself a lot of questions also before I ever decided to go with him. He immediately started working on my case as soon as I decided he was going to be my ...attorney. He stayed in touch with me through the entire case and was always available for me if I needed him. He did a lot of research on my case and took a lot of time and energy to make sure that I was always up to date on every change of date or new information that came about. We finally got to go to court in May of 2021 and then again in June of 2021 and Bill Hardman was able to get 2 of my 3 charges dropped and saved me a ton of money in the long run. He carefully reviewed all the case information given to him and patiently waited for the right time to go settle the cases out. If anything ever comes up again where I would need an attorney I would call Mr. Hardman first!

Highly Recommend!

If you have any legal issue in Hall County I highly recommend using Bill. He was great through the entire process: thorough, communicative, and most importantly, effective. He was able to achieve the best possible outcome, and his fee was very reasonable considering what he accomplished. I cannot say... enough positive things about my experience with his firm.

"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."

"I know Bill to be a hard working and intelligent attorney who truly cares about the outcome of his client's cases. I've seen him in court and worked with him on cases. 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."
