I filed for divorce 6 years ago, it took almost one year to get completed and cost tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees. Unfortunately I didn't have Dan Hardee as my attorney at that time. My custody arrangement with less than ideal, I ended up with around 17% custody with my son year roun...d. Two years back I filed paperwork to get my custody changed using my original lawyer. Nothing changed, it was stopped by the judge before it even got started. Last July I was ready to try for more custody again and decided to try another attorney. I chose Dan Hardee after a recommendation from a friend and reading online reviews about him. It was the best decision I could have ever made! It took 10 months of hard work by myself, Dan Hardee, and his wonderful staff but, I now have my son 50/50 year round! Dan Hardee is first class all the way, explaining ever step of the process, having me fully prepared for my deposition by opposing counsel, and being very thorough on deposing my ex-wife. He explained what to expect during the parenting evaluation and had me fully prepared for that as well. Giving me idea's that increased my odds of getting a favorable outcome. I went from paying, what I consider, a large monthly child support payment to actually receiving a small child support payment. Dan promised me, in the beginning, he would help me get more custody of my son I just didn't believe I would get what I was asking for. During this process we were required to do mediation, I went in knowing full well I would not get 50/50 in mediation since that was what I was asking for, I had to negotiate down. Just as my ex was not willing to budge an inch off our current custody agreement and would have to negotiate up. It went nowhere since my ex was not willing to negotiate. That was when Dan Hardee filed for a parenting evaluator to get involved. By the luck of the draw the judge assigned us Cary Imeson in Eagle. I cannot say enough nice things about Cary Imeson as well, she did a very through evaluation spending over 30+ hours evaluating our case and ended up coming back with a recommendation to myself and ex wife, our respective attorneys, and the courts of 50/50 year round, improved the holiday schedule, gave me more than I asked for during the summer schedule, improved how we do our exchanges to reduce conflict , and recommended we work together to get our son a passport, which was very important to me. Like I titled this review, I could not be happier with my decision to hire Dan Hardee, and also a special thanks to Cary Imeson.

Dan has represented me for nearly 10 years in my divorce and custody case. He is excellent and will go to whatever lengths needed to protect your children. He is straight forward and matter of fact. He will represent you and your children, keeping their best interest in mind. He takes the time to exp...lain your options and the pros and cons to all options. I would highly recommend Dan and will use him again if ever necessary,

I contacted Dan to help with our custody case. During our first meeting he gave us the confidence that he was going to do everything in his power to make sure we would see our little girl more. He exceeded any expectations we had for him. Every question, e-mail or phone call; Dan made time for us. ... Even on short notice he made sure to address each of our concerns. He treated us like family and fought our case with compassion. Before going to Dan our custody case was overwhelming and draining. Thanks to Dan we were able to move through the case smoothly and eventually settled out of court with the offer we had hoped for. I highly reccommend Dan for his knowledge, care, discipline and heart he gives to each case. We will always choose Dan for our legal needs and feel fortunate to have had such a positive experience with such an incredible lawyer!

We have been working with Dan on our custody case for over a year now and he has been everything we could have asked for. His wealth of knowledge and expertise was the only reason we were able to get the ruling we were hoping for. Dan is a bull dog, he is passionate about what he does and he gave u...s the confidence to stand up beside him and fight for what was right. He is a no-nonsense lawyer and would not stop until we received the ruling that we desired. His interpersonal skills are what you need from someone in his profession, with Dan you will not only get the guidance your looking for, but you will build a friendship for the years to come. I would HIGHLY recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for his kind of services.

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.
