Best family law attorney in Bosie Idaho!

In my day to day work, I am involved with many attorneys. Dan, by a long shot is the best of the best. He is an exceptional family law attorney who combines deep legal expertise with genuine compassion. He guided my family through an incredibly difficult time with clarity, professionalism, and unwave...ring support. If you want an attorney who truly cares and fights for the best possible outcome. On top of all of this, I can easily say "I won" in my case. Thank you Dan and team!

The Attorney Other Attorneys Don’t Want to Face

What most people don’t know is Dan Hardee’s reputation. Before hiring him, I consulted with over eight highly respected attorneys...each known to be the best in their field. When I asked them, “Who would you not want to see on the other side of a case?”—Dan Hardee’s name came up every single time.... That’s why I hired him. Dan commands a high level of respect for his excellence, fairness, and his bulldog approach. He’s strategic, sharp, and frankly, unf*ckwithable. Because of that, this process, while still difficult, was far smoother and more professional than it might have otherwise been. Everyone involved knew he was fair, honest and wasn’t going to play games. And that changed everything. If you want someone who brings clarity, gravity, and backbone to the table—Dan’s that attorney.

Restoring my faith in attorneys

I've been working with Dan now for almost a year on my divorce case. He has been very professional and easy to work with. When I told Dan about my negative experiences with family law attorneys, he told me that he'd like to restore my faith in attorneys... which I would say he has done. I feel that I... can trust he has mine and my daughter's best interest in mind, and will advocate for what's in our best interest. He has honest and up front about the reality of various situations and I have greatly appreciated his support through this process.

Highly recommend

I can’t recommend Dan Hardee and his paralegal Brandi Weeks enough! From start to finish, Dan was knowledgeable, empathetic, and always kept me informed. His legal expertise and calm, strategic approach made a difficult process much easier to navigate. Brandi was incredibly organized and efficient, e...nsuring everything was handled smoothly and on time. Together, they made a challenging experience much more manageable. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched, and I’m truly grateful for all their hard work. If you need a divorce lawyer, look no further than Dan and Brandi!

Extremely hard working attorney and Team

I retained Dan in a very complex child custody case, after years of multiple other attorneys that didn't help much, or had made things worse at times. We were at a loss on how to proceed and protect my child. Dan and his Team with Brandi and Autumn kept us going and helped us organize our eviden...ce and really tell our story like we weren't able to do before. Dan is a hard working attorney and stands for protecting what's important. Throughout the process, Dan has truly fought for us, guided us, actually listened. and dispelled lies against us, and I felt like I had a good friend or family member with me fighting in the trenches for my family. I would highly recommend Dan and his Team for any divorce\child custody cases, if you want a good chance at truly telling your story, and having a team fighting for you.
