Zero stars. My experience with this law firm has been so terrible that my usual reluctance to speak publicly has been overwhelmed by my desire to prevent others from enduring the incredible and unnecessary suffering I experienced by engaging Hardin & Ball. Over the course of a multi-year, complex legal matter, I was subjected to provably excessive billing, across multiple categories, to a degree that I can only interpret as systematic and deliberate overcharging. At the most sensitive and critical point — when a settlement agreement was finally on the table — Ben Hardin III and Julie Ball imposed a charging lien, which I believe was intended to pressure me into paying even more to the firm. This impeded my ability to resolve the matter for which I needed an attorney in the first place, and
I have had Ben Hardin, of Hardin & Ball, represent me on numerous occasions. He and his staff have always come to my aide during horrible circumstances. We were successful every time. If you are in need of the best legal representation...I highly recommend that you call them.
I agree with other posts that Mattie is very professional and efficient. We used this lawyer office for one business need and one personal need. The first was an online services user agreement and it took 3 months. The initial lawyer was Benjamin Hardin and he got nothing done. Then Matti stepped in and it was done in a couple of weeks. Price paid was as agreed. The second need was to do a estate planning with creation of a Trust and Will. The estimate on cost was $2000-$3000 (Like all other estimates we received). After 3 months the cost was $3100 and they had not even started on writing the actual Trust or Will. Our estate planning and will they said was complex and we agreed. Mr. Hardin SR. was pulled in and this partly drove the cost up. Yet again, no Trust or Will had even started t
No help at all. Three consultations totaling $1000 with zero benefit. I beat myself up for going back for the third time. Don’t bother. *Edit* 8.1.22 11:12 am- I just received a phone call about this Google review.I decided to revisit my review as well as look at others for this law firm. I would like to have given ZERO STARS but a GOOGLE review requires at least one star to post. Because the reviews for other attorneys in the office were positive I wanted to clarify that my three appointments were with Julie Ball. I neither spoke to nor had any interaction with any other attorney up to now. My review is specific to Mrs. Julie Ball. I stand by my review.
I don't often need an Attorney, but when I do, it's Harden and Ball P.A. Everyone here is down to earth and super friendly. They really care about you and your issue. Ben Hardin, Jr. got the ball rolling then handed us off to his son Ben Hardin III. Ben III hit it out of the ballpark!! He is a very intelligent young man with an extremely promising future ahead. The truth prevailed and those that were less than truthful were shut out. Ben III made the seasoned prosecuting Attorney look like a rookie and himself the seasoned one. Ben III interviewed one opposing witness after introducing himself, before court, and was successful in having that witness dismissed. That is "handling business" right there! With Ben III's counseling and guidance we prevailed with the truth. One Attorney (B
