Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

Kate Hardie was referred to me by one of her peers when I found myself being charged with a crime I did not commit. Recently off probation and with a criminal history I feared would inevitably work against me in this matter, I needed competent, effective legal representation with trial experience. W...ell, that is precisely what I got with Kate Hardie. Having worked in the public defender's office herself, she not only had the experience, but also the knowledge of how the system really works. She could effectively anticipate what to expect, and therefore, what legal maneuvers to employ, but was always prepared with a "plan b, plan c, etc.". She was incredibly accommodating, and very willing to work with me on this case - completely understanding my fears and concerns. And she did not placate me, either. She was very honest, forthright and thorough in explaining all of my options, and what the likely outcomes would be. Both her experience, knowledge and demeanor put me at ease after our very first meeting, and she kept in contact with me every step of the way - keeping me informed the very moment that she was. That level of personal attention made me feel like I was her only client - despite the fact that clearly, I was not. Kate Hardie aggressively pursued the most desirable result for me in this case - dismissal altogether - and she achieved it. If I should ever need the services of an outstanding criminal defense attorney every again (but I pray that I would not!), I would need to look no further than the law offices of Kate Hardie. My experience with her has proven that she is worthy of the highest recommendation - hands down.

Most Honest Criminal defense lawyer in California

Katherine Hardie was my attorney for a robbery charge that I was wrongfully accused of committing. Kate was very understanding and patient with my anger and grief that comes with being wrongfully accused of a crime. Her communication skills are impeccable and her knowledge within her field is undenia...bly amazing. She also had the skill of critical thinking, which was very important skill to have within my case. Katherine worked extremely hard on my case; she emailed me constantly to keep me up to date on any new evidence or news pertaining to my case. With Katherine on my side, I felt secure and comfortable and I knew that we trusted each other and I believe, without Katherine as my lawyer, I would be sitting in jail for a crime that I did not commit.
