My experience with Attorney Hardy was a positive one. He is very professional and kind. Explains your questions in detail for you to understand. I would highly recommend him as a Lawyer. He helped my family over come obstacles that were very serious.- Cindy Gaudet. 1/27/2020- Awesome experience! I have used Attorney Hardy twice for traffic tickets and I highly recommend him to anyone. I didn’t know what to expect after my first alleged traffic violation, he walked me through the process and was relatively fair in terms of pricing. His professionalism, skill-set, and the transparency exuded throughout the process, made it seamless. Thus, when I found myself in a similar situation two years later, I knew exactly who to call. If you find yourself in a situation that require legal representation, and want someone in your corner who has the ability to yield results that are favorable to you, then Attorney Hardy is your man. He is phenomenal!- Marlo Louimark. 1/27/2020

- I got a call with the caller ID of xyz police dept. of Connecticut, saying there are charges against you and you could face prison, possible deportation and fine up to $10k. I got scared and contacted local lawyers. Many said, that I should connect with lawyers of CT. Although, one old senior lawyer said that, I have contacts....blah...blah...will make calls to FBI...blah...blah... and resolve this in $7.5k. Thank goodness I listened to the other lawyers and contacted the best-reviewed lawyer in CT, and so lucky me that it happened to be - JAMES HARDY! He will talk to you clearly. He is upfront. He also has military experience. He said he will be there asap in that xyz police station to find out the charges. I asked whether I should pay first, but he said no. He worked for more than 6 hours at the police station, keeping me updated. In the end, he said he couldn't find out anything, and that the call could be a SCAM and advised me to check with my local police station. In the end, it was over and I breathed a sigh of relief. I asked him, how much should I pay you. He said, "it's all good brother". So Awesome! Imagine paying $7.5k over nothing. I would recommend Attorney James Hardy with all my heart. He will work hard for you. Thank you for your efforts!- Nilanjan Mhatre. 11/4/2019
- Good work. . . I got cases dismissed and dodged the bullet of a lengthy prison stay. . .- Michael Clark. 10/13/2019
- I first want to say thank you Attorney Hardy and your Group, I also encourage you the reader of this post to read this post if your undecided of using this Attorney and his team, I met Attorney Hardy by accident while going through a divorce that's seemed to be extremely one sided in my opinion, I was down on my last with only a few grand in my account, it was not his usual pricing but he still took on my case. After taking on my case he made it his mission to settle my broken heart that was crying out for justice, for the unjust that I experienced during my mirage, bringing me a sense of peace that seem to calm my mind and settle my heart. As the months progressed I was spending great amounts of my income on travling across states that was unfair that eventually ended me up in the hospital, but even after all of this Attorney Hardy still seem to allow me to keep a peace of mind and constantly let me know everything was going to be ok during my recovery. Attorney Hardy you turned my impossible situation into something possible. It never took a turn for the worst even though sometimes we would bump heads and frustrations would be on high, he did not let me down and my sad heart walked away with a smile from a humbling experience he got me what I wanted in the end. I recommend his representation to anyone unfamiliar with court, or familiar alike he was great to work with very knowledgeable and encouraging. Attorney hardy you and your team where amazing to work side by side with and it was great working with you. I learned a-lot, and you represented me extremely well P.S I want to take sometime in my review to thank you as well Attorney Elizabeth, just one of the great Attorneys of his Group, working with you was a blessing and to the others I worked with as well if I don't mention you by name.- Kylil . 9/25/2019

I would highly recommend him to family and closest friends!- Harvey Somra. 9/14/2019

- Attorney Hardy provided me with an excellent first experience with the law. My son was arrested on multiple serious criminal offenses in Hartford. I initially retained another attorney and was not happy with his “bedside manners.” As this experience provided a “trying” time for me and my family, I needed someone with compassion and patience, Atty. Hardy provided that and more. Mr. Hardy is an experienced, hardworking, intelligent and compassionate attorney. I truly needed someone who was “all that.” From conception to ending, he was always there, kept me grounded and explained the process all the way through. He fought hard as if he was related to us. I strongly recommend retaining Mr. Hardy for your legal needs. He is honest and he genuinely wants to help his clients get through the legal system fairly and with the best possible results. He was even complimented by the Judge during open court for his perseverance. You need an attorney like Mr. Hardy. Don’t be turned away by his youthful looks, he is intelligent way beyond his years. Again, thank you so much Mr. Hardy. Respectfully submitted . . .- Nancy Ransom. 2/11/2019

Such a great man I truly appreciate him and everything he had done for me.- Bianca Torres. 9/17/2018
- I was very nervous about hiring an attorney for a criminal case in CT. I questioned if any of these reviews online were even real. I can tell you by experience that Mr. Hardy's reviews are indeed real. This man was truly wonderful from start to finish. We were dealing with several criminal charges with one being a felony charge. Mr. Hardy was able to get all charges dropped. He told us from the beginning what he would be able to do and that's exactly what he did. Our case was finalized yesterday and I am so thankful that I hired him. He was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He's so down to earth and easy to talk to. He's a great attorney and a great person! I rarely leave reviews, but hiring an attorney is a big decision. I can say without a doubt that you will be in good hands with Mr. Hardy. He was a true blessing for us. That is the TRUTH!- Stacy Witte. 8/21/2018

- Attorney James Hardy is the best attorney I’ve worked with. Hopefully I won’t need him again for a criminal case but I will be using him again in the future. He was knowledgeable and attentive to my concerns and eased any anxiety I had during my case. He made sure I knew exactly what was going on each step of the way. I was confident walking into the court room with him. Unlike other attorneys out there, he was easy to talk to and always responded back, even with a simple text. I’m so so grateful for Attorney James Hardy!!!- amy lafrance. 1/19/2018
- I am not one to write to many reviews, but every once in a while you have an experience warrants sharing. A number of my family got into some legal problems about 6 months ago. It was a very difficult situation for the family. We scoured the Internet to find an attorney to help us through this most challenging time. We found about 5 different attorneys on AVVVO whose profile and reviews seemed to fit our needs. After talking with all 5 over the phone we met with three. After meeting Mr. Hardy, however, we felt like this was the person who could really help us. We left our first meeting with Mr. Hardy (or James, as he insists we refer to him) with a whole new perspective on the case. Unlike the meeting with the other attorneys, we felt as though Mr. Hardy understood what we were going through, and without making any promises of any specific outcome, made us feel as though we were in the best hands. One of the great things was that, unlike the other attorneys, Mr. Hardy made it clear that money should not prevent us from getting the best representation and reviewed options with us to pay. Beyond empathy, however, his clarity of purpose and direction for how he would handle the case was really reassuring. On top of this, the cost for his services were very reasonable compared to the other attorneys we met. Mr. Hardy took us through the case and got us the best possible outcome. It’s been a huge sigh of relief for my family. Fast-forward 6 months; I again hired Mr. Hardy to handle another legal matter. He again handled the case with the greatest professionalism and efficiency. Before you know it, case finished! Thank you sir! Highlights: 1. Communication (he’s always available by cell phone or will get back to you ASAP) 2. Knowledgeable and Dedicated to getting the best result! 3. Understanding and reassuring 4. Affordable- Shane A. Smith. 4/4/2017
- My fiancé and I got into a situation where the cops were called and charges were brought against him we called James hardy he assured us everything would be fine.

- I was involve in a situation that could have left me open to extreme consequences. As soon as I met Hardy and explained the situation, I was immediately relieved. He went to bat for me in court and through his diligence and professionalism I walked away I'm a better position than I was in day one. So thankful to have been referred to Hardy..I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.- Shaunnaya Williams. 2/7/2017
- I got myself into some very bad and embarrassing trouble with the police. Asked to have an appointment with Mr James Hardy. I was afraid of ending up in jail and loosing my family. As soon as I stepped in to his office he gave it to me straight and made me feel calm, secure and kept everything confidential. Didn't have to lift a finger though out the case. As soon as I new it was done. I couldn't have hired anyone better besides being very professional he is very friendly also. Could asked for a better lawyer. Thank you James- Joshua Aguirre. 1/28/2017
- Attorney James Hardy was the answer to my prayers. He was extremely professional and courteous throughout my entire experience with him. He stated right from the begging the legal stipulations of my situation, the probable outcomes and ensured that my case would end in my favor. He knew the laws very well and explained them to me so that I could understand every possible outcome. I could not recommend a better defense attorney.- Alexander Gabriele. 11/12/2016
- Nobody wants to be involved in a criminal case, however I landed in one. It was a problem that seemed impossible to get out of . I went on my knees and prayed and James came into my life at a crucial moment. He listened to my case, analyzed it, didn't give me any scary predictions. The man is the real deal. As I sat in court with him, I kept thinking if he gets us out of this, man will I write a killer review! but honestly no words can do Mr. Hardy's skills justice. This is my first ever review about a lawyer. He doesn't need you, you need him! If he takes your case- sleep well. He will get you out of the mess. He is kind, professional and not greedy . His interaction with the detectives, prosecutor and judge shows you he is a pro! Everyone likes the man. I thank G-d for putting this amazing lawyer in our lives. If your family reads this, they should know you are a gem in the field and be very proud of you!- Saurav Mohanty. 9/30/2016
