Amazing Experience

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 ther...apy, 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.

Wonderful

Mr. Hardin and Ms. Washington are truly amazing. Ms. Washington keeps me up to date on all things involving my case and I can tell they are very family oriented. I would highly recommend Matt Hardin and his team.

EXTRAORDINARY, PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL

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 motor...ist 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.

Matt Hardin was on my side

I was referred to Matt by a friend. It was a blessing to find such a responsive, compassionate, wise, experienced, trustworthy and tough attorney to handle my case. From the minute I first spoke with him, I knew I was going to be in good hands. My experience with him over the time he handled my ca...se, from beginning to end, confirmed my initial impressions. Matt handled me, the numerous details of my case, the opposing sides maneuvers, mediation and settlement as good as I could have ever hoped for. All that, while keeping my anxiety calmed with an understanding and compassionate yet professional ear. He offered explanations in terms that I could understand and let me know what to expect. I was prepared when I needed to be and he was by my side each step of the way. I was quite nervous about having to deal with lawyers, depositions, court cases, costs, doctor visits , their diagnosis and debt adjustments with insurance agencies. Matt was always one step ahead of what was coming and then walked me through it. We did not have to go to trial, but nearly did and if we had, I was very confident that Matt was the best representation I could have for my case in and out of courtroom. He's kind, sharp and tough!

My Lawyer, Matt Hardin

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
