One of the hardest workers I know

It’s always good to have a lawyer you can trust. There are too many lawyers out there not going above and beyond for their client, simply being a court appointed attorney with a larger paycheck. Bill will work diligently to receive the best results possible. I’ve known Bill for almost ten years, havi...ng dealt with serious charges and a minor one over the years. Without him I would have been thrown in a wood chipper by the state a long time ago after getting out of the military. Most, not all, DAs these days do not care how good of a person you were before the charges. You’re just a number to them after being charged and they will do their best to destroy everything you knew by shooting for the heftiest charges possible. Bill cares about your story and who you are as a person. That’s saying a lot in the legal world. As a veteran and certified firearms instructor, I look at defense lawyers like a gun. Hopefully you never have to use it/them, but it’s better to have one in your back pocket just in case. Also, it’s better to get a quality lawyer, rather than a cheap one that may not work well (possibly at all) when the time comes to be needed. As long as he stays in practice, he will always be my go-to.

Bill's The Man!

Bill was efficient, considerate and walked me through all my legal proceedings with detail and precision. I had many things that were not favorable for a good outcome but Bill fought tooth and nail and used his extensive knowledge to help me walk out of court with a huge weight lifted from my shoulde...rs. Bill is the guy to go to and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants just representation.

Excellent

Mr. Hardman was an exceptional attorney. He fought for my case exceptionally well and got my DUI case dismissed. I am delighted with his extraordinary work. If you are looking for an Attorney who will fight for your rights, Mr. Hardman is the perfect attorney. His staff was also very knowledgeable ev...ery time I reached out with questions. This firm is fantastic, and I am very thankful for them.

Great Representation!

Bill was my lawyer for a DUI case, he always kept me up to date on my proceedings. He was also available via email, phone (office & cell) and even text message whenever I had questions about the process. I highly recommend Bill for any type of case based on the great experience I had even during a... tough time personally.

Highly recommend - top notch!

I highly recommend Bill Hardman. He assisted with a speeding violation my 18-year-old son received. Mr. Hardman far exceeded my expectations; he is extremely personable and worked very hard to do all that he could to minimize the negative consequences of the violation. He was extremely responsive to ...any question - and always got back to me very promptly. Mr. Hardman is an extremely knowledgeable attorney in his area of expertise and also has tremendous compassion for his work and his clients. He spends time with his clients like they are the only client has. I am so glad we had him to represent and advise us through this process.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
