He is the best , Bar None!!!

Absolute Best Attorney Ever!!! So very thankful for his thorough and diligent follow through on every last little detail. It was such an incredible blessing to have Dan and his whole team guide me through a very hideous and tumultuous divorce. My blessings have been insurmountable and I am whole... again. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, soul, and being. Anyone who lands with Dan and his firm will be in safe and trustworthy hands. I went thru Hell and back before I was graced with his knowledge, and legal actions.

Handled a Complex 7-Child Custody Case with Excellence

Dan and his team handled my high-conflict custody case involving seven children with professionalism, strategy, and real care. This was a complicated and emotionally intense case, and they stayed steady from beginning to end. The entire team was responsive, organized, and thorough. I always felt p...repared and supported. I’m incredibly grateful for their work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone facing a serious family law battle in Idaho.

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.

An amazingly competent and kind attorney

When my husband asked for a divorce I was totally at a loss as to what to do next and where to turn. Dan and everyone in his office has been extremely professional while kindly helping me through the divorce process. He not only has years of experience and a knowledge of the law but also has integr...ity as he works to get the best possible outcome. And work he does! From day one I've known I was in good hands and I could trust him to do what was fair and right while keeping my best interest in mind. Dan has a great network of professionals and experts in other areas to call upon as he meticulously gathers information and builds your case. He places a high priority on being accessible, answering my emails quickly, to ensure I'm comfortable and confident through the process. I've been pleased that his paralegals and those with whom he associates are very competent as well as pleasant and respectful. I know Dan is a sought-after attorney but I when I meet with him, I always feel as though I'm his most important client all day. Dan is a well-respected member of the Boise community whose roots run deep in our town. I highly recommend Dan Hardee to anyone who needs an excellent attorney and wants one who cares about doing right by their client by following the law with honor and integrity.

Incredible, thoughtful attorney and top-notch staff - the complete package

I was a single father struggling to establish custody with my 2 year old son before I met Mr. Hardee. I was unfamiliar with and nervous about the family law system, but Mr. Hardee and his staff did everything possible to work with me, involve me in the process and thoughtfully consider my concerns an...d requests. I never once felt left out, confused or disregarded during all the twists and turns of a long, contentious, emotional case. Mr. Hardee was extremely thorough at procuring and examining evidence as well as skilled at articulating arguments and asking important questions. Mr. Hardee is amicable and friendly in person but when it matters most his seriousness and professionalism inspire confidence. In the end with Mr. Hardee's help I won primary custody of my son. Even after the case, however, he's kept in contact to check up on my son and I as well as help me with further questions and concerns. That epitomizes the quality of his character. He was truly invested in my son's well-being and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate on my son's behalf. Mr. Hardee restored my faith in the family law system and empowered me as a father and parent. For that I will always be grateful. I think people would have a much more positive perception of lawyers if they all took after Mr. Hardee's superb example.
