David Hardaway, founding attorney of The Law Offices of David C. Hardaway, brings a fervent dedication to trial advocacy. Licensed in all Texas courts and the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, he has adeptly represented clients in both criminal and family law matters. Hailing from Dallas, David crossed paths with his wife, Janice, at the University of Arkansas School of Law. Inspired by Janice's connection to San Marcos, they established his practice there in 2010. A committed member of the legal community, David is affiliated with the National College for DUI Defense and both the Texas and the DUI Defense Lawyers Associations. His recognition as a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas underscores his commitment to legal excellence, a distinction reserved for less than 10% of Texas attorneys.

In his free time, he volunteers, indulges in Razorback football and Jayhawk basketball, and enjoys recreational sports. Above all, he cherishes moments with Janice and their daughters, Adelaide and Willa.

The best lawyer in Texas
Attorney Hardaway is a great lawyer, the best in my book. I would advise any and everybody to hire him if they are seeking an outstanding lawyer. Attorney Hardaway fought for me until the end. He got my case not only dismissed but declined by the prosecutor. He was a true blessing to me and I'm so gl...

Someone I trust with my life...
I hired David to handle my custody case, he was definitely working hard for me during that process. He kept me informed about documents, court dates, and numerous items we had to get taken care of; then the unimaginable happened. I found myself in a situation I never thought I would be in, and was ch...

I've been thru a slew of attorneys and David is hands down the best I've had he always kept me up to date, very professional, and I got to actually talk to him whenever I needed anything. Best choice I could have made he got my case dismissed, I would highly recommend David for any case.

Highly Recommended Attorney
David Hardaway was a great choice for an attorney. Hardaway's prices are very fair and they seem almost to good to be true. I was dealing with a POM and his prices were the cheapest of all the attorneys I talked to. He will also work with you on paying off whatever you owe. He doesn't charge you for ...
While I do appreciate the kind words, I do feel the need to clarify about my pricing. While I always strive to keep my prices as low as possible, a lot of what I can reasonably charge for a case is very much dependent on the facts and circumstances surrounding a particular case. I am usually not the cheapest, and can sometimes be a bit pricey depending on the case. But if I can do something for a low price than I will, as I always strive to be fair in my dealings with everyone, clients and non-clients alike.

Great lawyer!
David Hardaway is a great lawyer. I was very satisfied with the work he did for me in getting my case dismissed. I had NEVER been in trouble and was very nervous about what might happen if convicted. David was very personal and put me at ease. Anytime I had questions or concerns he was there to answe...
"I was David's opposing counsel on a very difficult family law matter. He is a very aggressive and knowledgeable attorney who fights zealously for his clients, yet maintains a professional demeanor that makes him a credit to his profession. I am, therefore, proud to enthusiastically endorse David Hardaway, a very reputable member of the Texas legal community."
"David is an aggressive and zealous advocate who works to very hard to obtain the best possible results for his clients. He is available to them when most other attorneys won't take client calls--people need help outside of just 9 to 5. These are just a few of the reasons I endorse this lawyer."
"I had the privilege of working across from David on what was looking to be an extremely messy family law case. From the very beginning his intelligence and professionalism impressed me, and I quickly learned that this wasn't a fluke: he passionately fought for his client's interests while also building an environment of trust and respect between the parties. No easy task, that. In the end we were able to put the acrimony aside and ultimately resolved the matter to everyone's complete satisfaction. I can't recommend David highly enough."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is one of the best criminal defense attorneys I know. He is tough and isn't afraid to push back when he needs to. He really cares about his clients and I would recommend him for any criminal matter!"
"David Hardaway is not only a great attorney, but he truly cares about his clients. As a member of his law office I have observed first hand how he treats his clients. He doesn't view them as a case or number, but rather a person that he sincerely wants to help out. In addition he is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and works aggressively to solve his clients matters efficiently. If you need a great attorney look no further!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I would not hesitate recommending David to anyone in need of a good criminal defense attorney. David is very knowledgeable in the area of criminal law and gives 110% to each and every client."
"David is a personable and respected attorney. He is eager to zealously represent his clients and make sure they understand their options."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Hardaway for nearly 20 years and recently worked with him on a case. He expeditiously worked to resolve the matter, and he has my complete faith as a competent and trustworthy attorney."
