Highly recommended

Bill did an outstanding job representing me in an environment that was very foreign to me. It was obvious that Bill's knowledge, experience, and network provided me the best outcome I could expect, if fact, the outcome actually exceeded my expectations. Bill was always available, responsive, inform...ative, and professional as he guided me through the process.

Review for Mr. Hardman

I hired Mr. Hardman almost a year ago in hopes he could help me with my dui, speeding ticket, and open container charges. He helped me understand the process and get a jump start on awverything requires to be prepared for court and as able to get all charges reduces down to reckless driving. He staye...d in communication constantly with me and really made me feel like he was on my side. I’d recommend him to anyone going through this.

10 out of 10 would recommend

As a college student charged with a DUI for the first time in 2017. I did not have a clue how to handle this situation. After being bonded out of Jail I was looking for a lawyer all around the city of Gainesville and had recommendations here and there. I went to three different firms and almost all o...f them did not attend me well or was charging two hundred to three hundred dollars for a consultation and from the start I can tell I was just another client for them. I came across William Hardman Jr. service law firm through web surfing. The reviews I saw for Mr. Hardman were outstanding. My dad and I went to his office during late hours and we were lucky enough to find Mr. Hardman in his office still working. Despite the fact that it was probably past his office hours and us not making an appointment he still received us and took the time to listen to my case. As soon as he started hearing me out he started asking me more questions about the case and not once did he mention a fee about hearing me out nor did he try scheduling me for a consultation another day. After consulting with Mr. Hardman he explained to me how the situation was looking. He provided a lot of valuable information and different outcomes for my case.  I hired Mr. Hardman that same day I went into his office. The price in my opinion was very reasonable and completely worth it. William Hardman Jr. law firm provides one of the most professional, reliable and legitimate services.  Putting myself in hands of Mr. Hardman to be my attorney was a true blessing and the best decisions I’ve made in one of the most stressful experiences that I had to face. Mr. Hardman provides quality work; not only does he prepare himself well but he stays in touch with you through out the whole process. He always picks up and returns calls, whether it is by phone text or email.  Twelve months later after following complete instructions and not getting into any trouble I was able to walk out of court with just a charge for reckless driving. Mr. Hardman never makes promises nor does he sugar coat any situation he is honest and frank. I can guarantee anyone reading this that his hard work speaks for itself and I would highly recommend Mr. Hardman to anyone who is facing DUI charges.

William Starr Hardman Jr

Mr William was my lawyer. Ill try and keep it short and simple. My case was a DUI case. when i hired Mr William I told him about my DUI I got. Before I left his office Mr William told me everything I needed to know about DUI's. The pros and cons of what could happen and what he could do to prepare me... so I wouldn't get hit blind sided in court. I got many pages of things i need to do and things to get done by Mr William. He will tell you everything you need to do and give you the papers so you will not forget. everything he gives you is all that helps. He has a plan A, B, and C back up after a back up . Mr William is a very hard working man and a organized one. Hes always on top of whats best for your case.Mr William always kept me updated with calls and to see how I was and how the progress was going. He pushed me (kept telling me) to get the list of things he gave me done. To me that shows that he cares and my case went on for a while Mr William always checked up on me and kept me updated. Mr William is a very nice friendly caring man. He put his blood and sweat into my case because I know he's always busy but he kept me updated on what he was doing and see if I had everything done that i needed for him to try and get me out of my Dui case. I knew I wasn't his only client he had and I knew how hard he was working on my case and I knew he was working just as hard on his other clients cases. When we went to court he took care of everything and spoke for me . he got my DUI case reduced to reckless driving. He gave me another chance at life and I cant thank him enough. If any one needed a lawyer. Mr William Starr Hardman Jr would be the man to go to hes and excellent lawyer. it said stick to the facts I told the facts that happen through my case and what I felt about how he handle my case .

"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."
