Hardy Smith

Of all the attorneys I ever worked with- this individual was one of the most helpful individuals I ever met in my life., I am a physician - I had a problem with an administration playing games that are not uncommon in Tucson. Hardy understood the problem even after my meandering attempt to explain t...he problem. He was able to see the problem clearly and took the appropriate steps to get the problem administration- to understand their behavior was unprofessional and was inconsistent with their own policies and procedures- and their unrealistic demands to try and get us to work several additional hours without proper compensation represents harassment. Although the same agency is still harassing their current staff- Hardy's help put the agency on notice. It allowed me and several others to escape the poor working conditions they were imposing on their entire staff. Without Hardy's help- the agency would of kept making unfair and unrealistic demands on the staff and myself. Before consulting with Hardy- the agency was ignoring its own policies and procedures - and making unfair demands at their staff. Staff who did not follow these demands were fired and threatened they agency would report this to the employees licensing board. The agency removed important protections for the workers that was written in clear language in their policy and procedures. Hardy made it clear to the agency they were in violation of their own rules. After his notification- several of us were able to successfully get out of our contracts because their demands were in clear violation of policy. When we tried to point this out to the administration before I consulted Hardy- the administration used smoke and mirrors to justify their improper demands. After Hardy made it clear that the agency was violating their own policy with their demands the administration quickly backed away from their demands and most of the staff who were effected - were able to leave the agency. If it was not for Hardy- this would never of happened- and we would of been forced to work in a hostile environment. I recommend Hardy without any reservations- he really saved many of our staff and myself from continued harassment from the agencies medical director and her distorted use of the agencies own guidelines.

Hardy has been a very attentive lawyer to our HOA needs. He has taken on a very complicated smorgasbord of legal issues for the HOA and it's lot owners in a very large planned community here in Arizona. Hardy takes the time to plan his legal moves, so he does not waste your time and money to get you ...where you want to go, he is very effective counsel for a non profit HOA entities like ours. As for PI litigation, Hardy is very well versed and trained in the art of negotiations, so he can in most cases, effectively get you a settlement without full blown time consuming litigation, however he can litigate if needed, to court and WIN.

Hardy was a kind listening ear in an emotional trying turmoil of a time. I would call crying when another attach came from the neighbor that had decided to come after a portion of my land. He was always a calming, sensible ear for me; and gave me the advice and counsel that got me through it all. ...
