Highly knowledgable, no-nonsense, tells you how it is without making promises he can't keep

I used Dan for a modification and during the first consultation, he wanted to make sure I knew what was unrealistic to ask for because it wouldn't be awarded. I appreciated that up front honesty which just continued throughout the process. He made sure I knew all the risks, some of which we could mit...igate and some of which where not in our control. The only promise he made is that he would do his absolute best to represent me. I believe he full-filled that promise. I feel he considered my children's well being very important during the whole process. As for the technical details, he is well versed in family law and well practiced. During the proceeding, he gave options that included time, emotional (especially for the kids,) and fiscal costs which was nice. His only agenda was in fair representation. I have called him on a couple of occasions after the initial modification and he convinced me that the cost vs potential rewards didn't add up.

Caring, educational and keeps cost down

Dan and his team did a great job handling my divorce. Mine was by no means an easy case as opposing council and my ex had viewpoints that were completely opposite mine. Probably not unusual but it certainly made it stressful for me. Dan really helped by educating me on the process and laid out a so...lid strategy that gave me realistic expectations, reduced my stress and led to a positive outcome for me. His honest approach, planning and advice helped keep costs down which was a refreshing experience. Having experienced some of the intricacies of family law I am thankful that I hired Dan and his vast experience and excellent reputation within the legal community.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

We've used Dan's services for approximately 5 custody related battles with ex spouses, I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm happy to have used Dan but if you find yourself in a situation where you need a family law attorney you can't do any better than Dan. Dan is compassionate, professional,... aggressive, talented, honestly tries to save his clients money and represents his client well even if it's telling the client something they don't want to hear like "You don't have a case" or "You should settle because you aren't likely to get a better resolution at trial." Based on our numerous experiences with him and other Boise attorneys I have no doubt he is the best family law attorney in Boise, hire him before the opposing side does :).

Experience and expertise to help your case

Dan Hardee and his staff have done a fine job of managing my case. One thing that particularly impressed me as I was in the process of selecting counsel was that Dan knew all of the judges that might be assigned to preside over my case. It had not occurred to me how important and advantageous this ...familiarity would be, but that single factor has proven to be a real difference-maker in the outcomes so far. Dan came highly recommended by another very prominent area attorney, and he has lived up to that recommendation. Very appreciative!

Excellent family law attorney will work hard to get you results..

I was in a very long and complicated custodial battle that at times I thought I'd never see an end to. Dan Hardee and his brother Greg worked tirelessly to eventually turn a difficult case around and get me time with my son. I went from a situation where I was falsely accused of a crime and had no... ability to see my child to a court order that grants me 50/50 legal and physical custody. This is not something that happens quickly or easily, and you need a competent and hard working attorney like Dan Hardee to get through the process. Highly recommended!
