A few years back Katherine helped me get out of a very unfortunate situation. Throughout the time she represented me, she was very professional, aggressive and always on top of the case on my behalf. She truly cares about her clients and is willing to go the extra mile for them. She is ethical and committed to the best possible representation for her clients. I won’t go into detail about my specific situation, but I can tell you that she fought hard on my behalf and ultimately had my case cleared and expunged. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney, Katherine is one of the best attorneys out there. I would highly suggest you give her a call!

Ms. Hardie is an outstanding professional, who practices law with passion and determination. My consultation with her was very helpful. Most importantly she's a Human Being with capital letters. Hope no one needs those kind of services, however if you do, contact her and start feeling better! I recommend her with great confidence.

Kate Hardie is amazing! Her responsiveness, authenticity kept me stable during my case. She was very thorough and a competent professional who had my best interest in mind throughout the entire process. Can't thank her enough for taking care of everything and fighting my case and keeping in contact with me about everything. Extremely grateful for all her hard work and how things turned out.

I hired Katherine Hardie to handle an Out of State DUI case. The interesting thing is that this DUI occurred more than 10 yrs ago and I took care of it back then with Lawyers, classes and an ARD program. It was California DMV only updating their records this year and they wanted to suspend my Drivers License and retake another DUI course for 6 months etc. I personally battled with them to no avail. Then I hired Katherine and she won the case with an early settlement. Thank you Katherine for all your help.

I could not have been better represented. I got arrested for a DUI ( wet and reckless ) She did a great job on my case and was very responsive to my questions and quick to get back to me anytime I called her. I have used many attorney in the past and sometimes it's very hard to get a hold of them after they take your money but she never lost interest in my case and was on top of it from start to finish.

Kate has been my private Attorney for the last 4 years. Initially in my first case I was facing 6 to 11 years and Kate was the smartest and best Attorney I interviewed by far. She worked hard everyday and got me an amazing deal with no jail time. The last 4 years Kate has gotten me out of several situations with the Law. Without her absolute dedication to me and the rest of her clients I would surely be locked up right now. Kate is friendly, hard working, patient, and extremely intelligent. You can't go wrong by choosing Katherine Elizabeth Hardie.

I was found guilty back in 2013 for possession of weed with intent to sell. I left to China before sentencing. While in China I met a great woman and we had a Child. My girlfriend and I decided America would be the best future for our son. She knew I had a problem in America because my Passport was revoked in February 2015 by the consulate in Guangzhou. The Chinese police finally caught up with me in December on 2015. I was put into a Chinese detention center for 21 days. I thought I was going to miss the birth of my child. Fortunately for me the Chinese government only needed to verify my identity. Once the US government confirm who I was the Chinese police released me into the custody of y girlfriend. While I was in the Chinese detention my girlfriend found lawyers on Avvo. Kate was not the first, second, third or even fourth lawyer we contacted. But I promise you this, she is definitely the last lawyer we will ever need. I was in China for 3 years. I had this $200,000 warrant and upon my return to America Kate was able to get me time served with probation and community labor. I thought I would have to do years in state prison. However thanks to Kate Hardie's due diligence I am back in America working hard and looking forward to bringing my son and girlfriend here ASAP. Kate does not treat her profession as a business but rather a responsibility so justice is served fairly. My girlfriend and I couldn't thank her enough in thousand years. If you really are in a jam but know you are a good person and just want to be treated like an individual then Kate is the lawyer you want. She gets results without faking it. Thank you Kate.

I've had to call Kate on two different occasions. Kate is a phenomenal lawyer. I was looking at possible jail time, fines and years of probation due to a crime I was accused of. Due to her superb knowledge, she was able to have my case dismissed at trial . On a separate occasion she was able to dismiss a charge from even being filed. Kate was always on time and acted very professional in court. She is definitely the ace you want to have up your sleeve when your time comes around. Highly recommended!

It's been almost a month since the day when Ms. Hardie won my case in the LAX court ( termination of my probation, expungement of the criminal record) and I still can't find the right words to express my gratitude to her. Simple "Thank you" is not enough for all that time and work that she invested by filing documents and representing me in that motion. She has taken my case as it were her own, kept me informed on it's progress and also on the updates about her communication with the City Attorney.I had a great deal of anxiety upon entering the court room and I wasn't very optimistic about the outcome mostly because of all the difficulties created by local DA office. However, Ms. Hardie demonstrated outstanding level of professionalism, was confident, smart, thoughtful, and wasn't afraid to speak the truth in court.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ms.Kate Hardie, Esq for anybody looking for a high quality legal firm that also has a personal touch in making you feel comfortable in a difficult situation.

Kate Hardie is an amazing and intelligent attorney that really knows what she is doing. She worked on two of my criminal cases and got me outstanding and excellent results that no other attorney would have been able to do for me. Always on time in court and knows the DA's, Judges, etc. I was recommended to her by a really close friend which was also super satisfied about his case and the way Kate handled it. Very intelligent attorney with all the right connection. Highly recommended you will be really satisfied with her results!! A++

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. Well, 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.
