Review Matthew Hardin

Great experience

Posted by

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!

My Lawyer, Matt Hardin

Posted by

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.
Matthew Hardin's response: Thank you for trusting us with your case and for your positive review. If we can be of any help in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

EXTRAORDINARY, PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL

Posted by

I never thought I would need or even want to use a personal injury attorney. I actually dreaded the experience. Most importantly to me is I wanted to work with someone local and not a "Big Box" firm. The service & care I received exceeded ALL my expectations. I was hit by an uninsured motorist while driving Rideshare, Uber/Lyft. Rideshare drivers do yourself a favor & if you are reading this please call them right now. Sit down for an initial meeting and I have no doubt you will feel secure in working with them. I felt extremely comfortable with William Mayfield immediately when he met with me the same day I called. William went over the pros & cons but most importantly he did not set me up for any expectations. He did let me know if it does go to a jury anything can happen. I knew then I had a friend in William. My case was anything but large but I was out of work & medical expenses add up quickly. I was treated like I had been a client for years. William Mayfield & Brenda we're always quick to return calls & emails. I was always included on any decisions that affected me and ultimately the decision was left to me after their consultation. It's nice to know there is a firm like Matt Hardin Law to help you. They provided professional and personal care, their knowledge & honesty helped relief the anxiety I had. They did not ask me to seek unnecessary treatments and doctors that would prolong & complicate my case. The entire staff was always very helpful & friendly. One last thing, Call NOW and you will feel reassured that you have made a good choice.

A wonderful experience in a difficult time

I highly recommend Matt Hardin Law to anyone that needs help. For those that are unable to visit their office, Matt Hardin and his team will send an attorney wherever you are. Due to my slip/fall, Matt Hardin Law sent me a great attorney (Mr.William Mayfield). He was exceedingly honest, answered all of my questions, and gave me a great impression. The Matt Hardin Law Firm and their team were ALWAYS available to take my calls, emails, and texts. They really gave me the feeling that they genuinely cared about me and my case.

Matt Hardin Law represented me through my leg injury case and I have nothing but great things to say about the way Matt represented me through the whole process. After my initial 45 minute discussion with Matt, I rest assured that Matt Hardin Law was the right group to represent my best interests ethically and professionally. Matt agreed to take my case and from then on, I barely thought or worried about the case until the case was closed. Matt is level headed, will not oversell, but rather gives you a realistic outlook. My case is now closed, and I had a very good/smooth experience through the process.

Car Accident

Posted by

A dump truck hit me and totaled my car. I didn't have any transportation at all. I called the truck insurance company. They sent a request for a car. The next day they cancelled my reservation, so I was stuck. The insurance firm wanted to know more about the car wreck and clearly it stated on the police incident report who was at fault. I was tired of dealing with it, so I called Matt Hardin Law and they handled my case with no hesitation. They told me to come in with the information I already had and they went from there. Matt Hardin Law firm was polite, on top of everything, they never bugged me for information, they called and check up on me from time to time to make sure everything was ok. They also reassured me that my case shouldn't take long at all, that they would handle everything in a timely manner. They were honest, polite and stayed right on top of everything. I will give Matt Hardin and his team 5 stars. I will always use them if I have another incident.

Car Accident

When I was looking for someone to handle our claim, I was looking for someone I could trust, and who would look out for our best interests. Based on other reviews and research, I contacted Matt Hardin Law to handle my claim, and I have never regretted the decision. They remained in contact with me throughout the process, promptly returned my calls, and answered my never-ending questions patiently. I was expecting the process to drag on forever, but once all medical bills were submitted, our claim was settled within the month. I would recommend their law firm again, and really appreciate their assistance. Many thanks!

A Great Law Firm

Posted by

I was rear ended in 2015. This was my first accident and I didn't know what to do. Due to my injury I missed school. I even had to go to physical therapy. A friend referred me to Matt Hardin Law. I contacted a high profile lawyer who refused to even take my case! I contacted Matt and his team and they took my case and worked hard to settle my case. I can say that it was not an easy case. But in the end we got justice and I am very happy we chose Matt Hardin Law and I will recommend him to anybody who needs good representation!

Great Law Firm

Posted by

I was rear-ended by a careless driver on November 11/9/2015. The force of the impact cause the ligaments on my right hand to rip requiring surgery. The surgery was performed right away per my doctor’s recommendation. The weekend after the surgery and the accident I was worried about everything that had happened and what I was going to do. I contacted several attorneys for assistance and I spoke with Matt Hardin. I was impressed that he was able to speak with me on a weekend, a Sunday. Not only that, but he also took the time to explain the accident process and what I could expect. I was also happy that he came to my house, because I could not drive at that time, and met with me. The people at his office are great and they answered any questions that I had every time I reached out to them. My case was handled efficiently from beginning to the final settlement. I was very happy with the service provided by Matt Hardin and will recommend him to family and friends.

Matt Hardin Law

Posted by

After my accident with a drunk driver, I knew I needed a tough lawyer. I found Matt Hardin Law with a AVVO score of 10 and great reviews. I made the call to his office and from that moment on, I was in the most capable hands to get the job done. I didn't even have to leave my home – an associate came to me. From the first meeting to the last, I was completely informed with all my questions answered any time. I enjoyed every conversation, always feeling well taken care of. I will use him again and refer him anytime I can.
