I am known for my ability to take complex business cases and make them understandable to a jury. The secret though is if you represent a business to keep them out of court. I have a number of longtime business clients and have become friends with most my clients thru the years.

Best Lawyer and A Great Man

Del was able to bring closure to a 3 year old case and get it solved for us out of Court. His office staff is are great too.

Posted by Peter | October 09, 2015 | Partnership

Competent and caring

I was forced to bring suit against a former business partner who refused to settle accounts on dissolution of the partnership. It took almost two years, start to finish, to force a court supervised public auction. Del Hardy tried very hard to force a settlement, but my former partner would not negoti...ate. Though I didn't want settlement through auction, I did want distribution of assets and that is what I finally got, through Del's work. I recommend Del, to any and all, with no reservations.

Very trust worthy and compassionate

Advised and handled all of our trust issues.

Posted by Mike | October 09, 2015 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Knows the value of a case

Mr. Hardy is a veteran trial attorney who is sensitive to, and skillfully navigates, the rampant inefficiencies inherent to civil litigation in service of cost effective advocacy. Throughout the litigation process his command of case facts and plain-spoken language fosters clear understanding o...f the issues between adversaries all while maintaining a cordial tone. Such skills are critical where settlement is in play. However where parties are unable to resolve differences absent trial, Mr. Hardy maintains a vast toolbox of courtroom skills to tell your story to the finder of fact, be it judge or jury. He is able to accomplish these things through his devotion to preparation, a trait sorely lacking in a world increasingly focused on short cuts.

Gave us HOPE!

My husband and I were forced to sue an old friend/business partner who not only dissolved a partnership, but refused to settle out of court. This has been very emotional and frustrating for my husband and I who after two years of trying to settle the matter on our own, we were forced to hire an atto...rney. Del Hardy has been working very hard and has put our minds at ease with HOPE that there is light at the end our our tunnel. I know that we would not have gotten this far with any other attorney. Del quickly responds to any of our questions or concerns without making us feel like were wasting his time. Without hesitation we gladly recommend Del.

Litigation lawyer | Oct 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Hardy has had tremendous success for his clients from smaller, straightforward business formation matters to extremely complex lawsuits and everything in between. The way he makes it a point to truly listen to his clients concerns sets him apart from other lawyers and gives him the ability to really understand how to get his clients justice. His ability to remember and recite most of the significant Nevada Supreme Court reported opinions in the areas of civil and business law is unparalleled. It is truly an honor to work someone of such superior talent."

Rating:  1.0 (Extreme Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Disbarment issued in CA, 2020

updated on 03/29/2021

Disbarment is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the California State Bar to understand the reasons for disbarment.

Public Reprimand issued in NV, 2018

updated on 09/18/2018

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in NV, 2018

updated on 09/18/2018

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Nevada.

Interim suspension after conviction issued in CA, 2018

updated on 05/07/2018

This means the attorney temporarily lost his or her license to practice law while the State investigates whether the attorney should be disciplined. The suspension typically expires when the investigation is resolved.
