    Matt represented me when I got hit by a car while crossing the street. Throughout the process, he gave me a lot of great advice and always made himself available whenever I had a question about anything. Truly a class act.
    Matthew Hardin's response: Thank you for the review Jake. We really appreciate your kind words!

    Mr. Hardin spent a lot of time on my wife's wrongful death case, which lasted almost three years. He kept me informed when things changed and when depositions were going to be taken to see if I would like to attend. He asked me to take notes and to write down any questions I would like him to ask. This was also done in court. When I had something that bothered me, he listened to me and asked questions I thought helped my case. Mr. Hardin is an Eagle Scout and his motto is to be prepared. I was so impressed with how prepared he was and how he handled himself in court (very well prepared and knew the law). The jury also noticed this because when the trial was over, members of the jury told me that they called Mr. Hardin "The Shark" during their deliberations. Everything that Mr. Hardin did was first class and I felt more than a client, I felt like a friend.

    After breaking my back in an accident, I felt abandoned by my insurance. A car ran a light and hit me and 4 months later, I still didn't know if they had insurance. After 6 months, I was offered an amount I felt was unacceptable. I contacted Matt Hardin Law. They were kind and professional. They sat down with me and explained the details and what would happen in the process. We settled at much better amount, which wouldn't have happened without such a good law team. Thank you Matt Hardin Law.

    I cannot speak highly enough about the people at Matt Hardin Law! Specifically Michael and April! Last year around Fathers day, I was the victim in a car accident that totaled my car and sent me to the ER for medical care. I reached out to Matt Hardin Law basically the next day and they have been by my side ever since. From assisting me in getting my rental car all the way to the completion of my settlement. Being involved in a situation like this can at times be overwhelming when dealing with medical bills and everything else that comes with it but Michael and April made this experience completely stress-free and it was a joy to speak with them each time I needed to. If I ever had any questions (and I had many) all I had to do was call or email and I would be able to speak with one of them in a moment's notice and they expertly answered each question I had. Matt Hardin Law got me more than I could have imagined and I'm not just talking about money, I'm talking about peace of mind and confidence that my settlement was being handled by the right people. They are a class act firm and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking their services!

    Matt Hardin Law is the best firm if you need a great personal injury attorney. I have known one of their paralegals, Beverly, for many years and she has been a huge help to me. All of the staff at Matt Hardin Law care about their clients and will fight hard for their clients.

    Amazing Experience

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    I was in an auto accident back in September 2018 that literally turned my life upside down for a long time. On the first day of my new job on my way home my car got totaled and I got injured by a car that rear ended me. I had to struggle to find a way to get to the hospital, to work, to physical therapy, and to even get basic things like groceries. I commuted to Nashville from Lebanon at the time and had no one in my life available to support me during this. Matt Hardin Law did. They helped take so much off of my plate and made the entire situation less stressful. My case had lots of delays due to other insurance companies and covid, but every time I emailed asking for an update I got extremely quick, polite, and detailed responses. I never felt like I was kept in the dark. I also had a switch of attorneys and paralegals in the tailed of my case, and the transition was as smooth as it could be. I was extremely happy with the work the team did on my case and I could not have gotten the settlement I did without them. If I ever have the need for a personal injury attorney I am going here, hands down. I recommend them 100% for all needs. Thank you for all the help, the patience, the kindness, and above all the support your team gave me in a really awful time in my life.
