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.

A new lease on life.

Mr. Hardman was absolutely fantastic at keeping me updated and in the loop through out the process of my DUI case. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I am a CDL driver and rely on my license for my job. Therefore with the outcome that Mr. Hardman was able to achieve I was able to conti...nue my career as a professional truck driver.

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.

Detailed and thorough!

Bill Hardman was the first lawyer I scheduled a consultation with and even though I knew afterwards that he was who I wanted to represent me I still took others advice and met with other lawyers. The other consultations even further solidified that he was the best man for the job. A couple things ind...icated he was who I wanted to represent me. First, he took notes throughout the whole process. He could recall facts that I mentioned to him during our original phone conversation. Our first phone conversation was something else that stood out to me. It was later in the evening that I called and left him a voicemail,and he called me back that night! We scheduled our initial consultation for the following day, which was a Saturday! There were not any other reputable lawyers that I found online willing to meet on a Saturday. When I met him at his office we discussed in detail, while he took notes, all of the events that occurred regarding why he was representing me. He chronologically, and by order of significance outlined everything he needed from me for the case to be successful. I never felt like another number to him and he kept me updated along the way even if there were not any new developments. I always felt like he was telling me the truth not making things up to win the case. Since the case has ended, Bill has followed up with me to ensure I was doing well and if I ever find myself needing an attorney again he will be my first call!

"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."
