About Us | Expertise
The firm’s growth over the years has been guided by a desire to employ lawyers who share a common, fundamental belief that lawyers can still practice law on the basis of professional respect and collegiality. The firm’s lawyers do not engage in unnecessary disputes. They forego the victorious “battle” if it means gaining an advantage in the greater “war.” Opponents know Hardimann & Carroll lawyers will honor their word when given. Mediators universally praise them as being well prepared, pragmatic and creative in their approach to resolutions. Numerous notable victories in court, together with the more frequent discreet successes, are a testament to the benefits of this shared philosophy and collective talent.
Hardiman & Carroll also hires experienced lawyers, believing that the client is better served by one lawyer, not multiple layers of lawyers. Their insurance carriers like the cost-savings inherent in such an approach, knowing that they’re not paying for duplicated efforts, or to train junior lawyers. The people that the firm represents are secure, knowing who to call and knowing that one phone call will access answers to their questions.
Hardiman & Carroll apply this philosophy to a wide variety of legal practice areas. In the litigation arena, we represent all manners of professionals in the real estate and construction industry – from developers to general contractors to subcontractors of every trade and from real estate brokers to mortgage brokers to home inspectors. We also have extensive experience representing many other professions, including lawyers, accountants and health care professionals.
Our insurance practice ranges from advising carriers on coverage matters to drafting insurance policies to defending insurance carriers in bad faith litigation. We also specialize in contribution actions and issues involving additional insureds and recovery of fees and expenses for insurance carriers.
Over the last 20 years, we have represented and counseled numerous non-profit agencies and public entities on a variety of issues ranging from employment law to business formation issues to complex litigation involving tens of millions of dollars.
