Best Hardworking Custody Lawyer in Idaho

I hired Dan Hardee and his team in 2017 to do a modification to my divorce decree and get custody of my son. They worked very hard to achieve everything I wanted at that time. We had a solid slam dunk case. However, a new judge on the bench threw out our 30 page court evaluation. She gave my ex 'on...e more chance' to prove herself. In 2020, I hired Dan Hardee again to modify the custody due to a material change. Dan and his team worked diligently to 'right the wrong' from the last trial. Dan and his team communicate very well. They are responsive and helpful in all matters. They kept me up to date on everything happening with my trial. Dan met with me the day before my final trial, as well, to help me understand how we would be proceeding with the trial. This time, I ended up with my son full time due to Dan's hard work with everything. He is an advocate for his client and will do his best to represent your interests. I would recommend him to anyone!

Honest, Straightforward, Sound and Practical Attorney

Dan Hardee has been my legal counselor for going on three years now. To say he has done an excellent job is an understatement. I have consistently been provided straightforward, sound, and practical legal advice. He values honesty and is truly invested in his clients. Dan is both knowledgeable and ex...perienced which has been evident through the various issues he has helped me navigate regarding changing the custody arrangement for my child. The results of my custody case due to his guidance and expertise was better than satisfactory. My child's life is forever changed for the better. I now have the majority of time with my child and can provide the stability he deserves. Additionally, Brandi (Dan's paralegal), was also instrumental through my custody case. She delivered timely responses and information or documentation. Brandi is organized and accurate in her work. Working with Dan, Brandi and Team has been a pleasure. I would highly recommend their services.

Dan and his team have helped me a couple of times and each time, Dan has couched me to a reasonable settlement. Dan’s background, reputation and knowledge in family law is spectacular. If you are in need of a fine family law attorney, Dan is a great choice.

A successful Modification to my Decree!

I hired Dan Hardee as a change of counsel for a case that had drug-on for nearly 8 months- A case where I was spinning my wheels & loosing ground on some key factors. After I transferred counsel; Dan & Amy took quick control of my case. They made the necessary filings in an efficient manner & came up... to speed quickly on a myriad of issues. I appreciated their prompt responses when I talked/emailed candidly to them about my concerns. Their demeanor was always polite, honest & in a business-like fashion; regardless of the issue or whether I was applying pressure to them. They were responsive & I appreciated this greatly. I should also mention that their letters & wording were always exacting, explicit & well-organized. I have witnessed this is NOT always the case in this profession. But with Dan as my counsel each document was carefully structured & prepared for my review. I believe these well-designed & executed documents played a part in my counsel's effectiveness. And in some cases I believe these documents even served to educate opposing counsel on matters that were NOT transparent to them. I learned that Family law is NOT always cut & dry YET, Dan's team always seems to have a strong sense of the best approach which is due to their experience & solid relationships with the key players in this field. I left every meeting with new-found confidence & a clear understanding of the next strategy we were to apply. Ultimately, my case settled at the 11th hour. I believe if it weren't for Dan's careful handling/sense & a few command decisions he exercised on my behalf, it would've gone to trial. His actions demonstrated on a regular basis that my best-interest was on the forefront coupled with his concern for being thrifty & NOT running up a massive bill. After *13 months I ended up with a fair settlement that gave me more time with my children. I would highly recommend Dan & his team as a family court/ divorce attorney. I've also heard IF you're so UNlucky as to go to trial you'll DEFINITELY want Dan on your side in the courtroom. *The case drug-on far-too-long but I believe the factors pro-longing it were well-beyond our influence.
