Mr. Hardy studied my case and kept me out of jail.
Without going into too many details, Mr. Hardy did a great job. After a night in jail, I really thought I was screwed. The world was falling and I was under it! He arranged for my release from jail then sat with me as we reviewed the facts of my case. I was surprised that he had a pretty good idea of what I was facing and he pretty much knew what the DA would be willing to agree to. We discussed my options and I made the final decisions with his help. Mr. Hardy met with me as often as I needed and he was a real asset in keeping my life together. I sincerely hope and pray I never need him again but if I do I'll call him immediately.
You can look, but you will not find a more dedicated and caring attorney in the San Antonio area. Brent far exceeded my expectations for an attorney, he genuinely cares about you, your case and your family. I can not express enough how grateful I am to him for his services. Hire him, you won’t be disappointed.
Criminal Defense represents a broad range of felony and misdemeanor charges, including drug possession, unlawful carry of a weapon, or other alleged violations of the Texas Penal Code or similar statutes.
Often referred to as "assault causing bodily injury--family", Domestic Violence refers to alleged physical altercations alleged to have occured between family or household members.
Juvenile law refers to cases where a child (under age 17) is accused of being delinquent because he/she allegedly committed a crime (felony or misdemeanor).
General Practice refers to civil (rather than criminal) matters in which I sometimes become involved, such as deceptive trade practices (DTPA), breach of contract, and probate administration.
Probate is a legal process in which a will is reviewed to determine whether it is valid and authentic. Probate also refers to the general administering of a deceased person's will or the estate of a deceased person without a will.
Real estate attorneys deal with rights of property ownership. This frequently involves the purchase and sale of residential property, along with documents pertaining thereto. I may also include easements, foreclosure, and landlord or tenant disputes.
Violent Crime involves cases where a person used (or threatened to use) violence or bodily harm against another person, including rape, aggravated robbery, assault, manslaughter, and murder.
33 years, 115 cases
I am a San Antonio attorney who often defends those charged with crime or juvenile delinquency. I understand how traumatic an arrest or indictment can be, so I have particular concern for the welfare of my clients.
I handle a wide spectrum of cases, ranging from the simple to the complex. My practice is predominantly focused in San Antonio, but I am often called to handle cases throughout the State of Texas.
I have learned that an aggressive posture is indispensable to the successful outcome of every case. As a result, I litigate with a resolve and self confidence gleaned from thirty years courtroom experience. Self-assurance has proven the bedrock of my litigation success.
I recognize an open line of communication as the hallmark of a healthy attorney-client relationship. As a result, my clients have my personal cell phone number with which I make myself accessible throughout the week, day and night, and on holidays.
I am humbled by the litigation success and professional acclaim I have earned during my 30 year practice. I am especially proud that I have achieved these accomplishments without compromising my character or principles.
If you seek a confident attorney with a voracious appetite for success and a thorough grasp of the law, I stand ready to assist you.

I have to tell you, Wayne, I don't remember you sounding this happy when you were in custody!
Seriously, we wouldn't have been so successful without your hard work. Great job!

Brent was very helpful in giving me information I needed. Unfortunately he couldn't take the case cause he was almost 5 hours away. But I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him if you live around the San Antonio area. He was very knowledgeable and answered every single question I had. Thank you again Brent for all your help I really appreciate it.

Best Lawyer in SA
I hired Mr. Brent Hardy as my lawyer to help with a situation that was threatening my physical welfare and employment. This was my first time hiring a lawyer, and I had no idea what to expect. I'm so SO glad I came across Mr. Hardy. He was beyond amazing. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable regarding the steps and actions to resolve my case quickly. He assured me that the situation I was experiencing was merely temporary and that he would do everything in his power to seek justice and prevent any further damages. He was immediately on my side and took action quickly. Within a matter of days, things were already starting to improve. He kept me informed on his progress with regular updates and played instrumental part in getting my life back to normal.
I hope I don’t ever need a lawyer or legal support again, but if I do, I’ll definitely be contacting Mr. Hardy.

One of the BEST ATTORNEY'S in TEXAS
My husband and I chose to hire Mr. Hardy on the recommendation of several people whom we trust to handle a legal matter for our teenage son. From day one he put us at ease and explained everything in detail. We felt confident in Mr. Hardy as soon as we first spoke with him. He always returned phone calls or emails, is extremely easy to talk to, and constantly kept us updated of all progress on the case. The one thing that stands out for us, as parents, is that he genuinely cared what happened to our son. He went above and beyond to help us make sure this never happened again. He truly cared. I can’t imagine any other attorney working with our son the way Mr. Hardy did. He even called to ask how our son was doing after the case was over . We feel fortunate to have had an attorney of this caliber represent our son, and highly recommend Mr. Hardy.

Amazing
When my son got into trouble and needed a lawyer I didn’t know who to call. The Court Clerk recommended Mr. Hardy. He is amazing. He took the time to explain everything to us and our son really liked him as well. When we went to court, he was very professional, and made sure that we understood everything that was happening. While we didn’t meet under the best of circumstances, I can’t imagine going thru that process with anyone else. We would definitely use him again and certainly highly recommend him to others.

Excellent Work
Mr. Hardy defended me earlier this year. He was always available to discuss the many steps of my case. He was thorough in explaining what to expect in court and throughout the process. Mr. Hardy was kind and confident in his work. I highly recommend him.

Excellent
Brent was my attorney for three cases in which jail time seemed inevitable, but with Mr. Hardy's knowledge in the DWI field I was simply given a time served. Every time I called Mr. Hardy he seem to always answer or at the least return my phone call immediately. He also gave me consistent updates on my cases until everything was resolved. I would highly recommend Mr. Hardy to anyone.

Great lawyer, strong recommendation
I retained Mr Hardy to represent me after a drug arrest. He spent lots of time with me preparing for my case, and he was always helpful in answering my questions. He knows the law very well, and seems self confident and professional in court. He presented my case extremely well, and I was thrilled with the outcome.
In short, he does a woderful job, and I strongly recommend him to others.

I will never forget your "bug eyes" before the jury declared you "not guilty". If only I had a picture!
