My wife and I needed a fairly complex estate package (involving foreign countries). Ms Andrea Hardin was referred to us by one of my MSFT colleagues. She was able to go through all of the components of the estate plans for me and my family. She went and extra mile to explain things to us that were new and unknown (and there are many!) We are happy and comfortable knowing that our affairs are in order. When the opportunity came to purchase a new home, we called Ms Hardin again. She was as kind as the first time and very very patient with us. She went through every page of every document and found a lot of inconsistencies in the materials proposed by the selling party. We felt well protected and taken care of by such an accomplished attorney. Thank you, Ms Hardin! We will get back to you for the attorney support when the time comes to sell our house in the future. Thank you again!

My husband and I met with Andrea a few years ago to do estate planning. Neither of us had ever written a will, or had much idea of what needed to be done. She walked us through the process quickly and easily, and worked with us to get everything in place, and gave us advice on how best to set it up. She knows we're "email people" and sent all of our communications/meeting requests electronically, which was great. The final signing with witnesses was fast and easy. We will continue to return to her office when we need to make changes.

Andrea was helping me and my family to complete our comprehensive estate planning before the end of fiscal year. Not only has she identified potential issues with our previous package, she was able to advise better strategies for us in the long run. Our estate planning spans across multiple countries and Andrea was able to find appropriate materials for us. Her professionalism and passion are truly very invigorating in this area of law. Thank you, Andrea. Would definitely recommend her to my colleagues at Microsoft as well as friends and other family members. Thank you, again!

As General Counsel of a New York Stock Exchange-registered full service brokerage firm, Ms. Hardin was recommended to us for her trust and estates expertise. We needed her assistance in interpreting a particularly complex trust. Her analysis was insightful, practical and clear and we implemented, successfully, all of her recommendations.

Andrea has saved me tons of real estate agent fees, once I realised that the agent was not doing his job and had to consult with the lawyer. She was recommended by ARAG as one of the top attorneys, and boy did she deliver. Not only she found many errors in the real estate documents (purchase and sale, appendices and addenda) but also she found the issues with the pending assesments and helped me avoid paying additional fees that were not disclosed. I would highly recommend Andrea's services to anyone looking to close on real estate transaction. I have recommended her frim to many of my colleageus at Microsoft that have also being very happpy with her services. Thank you Andrea for your commitment, customer focus, professionalism and incredible attention to details.

Ms. Hardin prepared estate planning documents for myself and my wife. She definitely was well informed on current tax laws; however, her attitude made us both less than comfortable. She acted condescending towards her staff - it seemed as though there was a power play happening. We, as clients, did not appreciate viewing the interoffice strife such as it was. I will not recommmend Ms. Hardin to any of my MS co-workers.

She appears to be a very intelligent attorney, but she insults almost everyone she interacts with. Rather than create a stress free environment during our transaction, we felt more stressed due to the confrontation she caused with the other attorney, and other parties involved. We were very disappointed in the transaction, and will no longer use her.

We Will Not Return Ms. Hardin is a competent attorney with a well-established practice; however, her professional demeanor (or rather the lack thereof) made us extremely uncomfortable in her office. The condescending attitude she exhibited towards her paralegal during our meeting was both astonishing and disappointing. When we left Ms. Hardin's office, my husband and I both agreed that we would not return based on her behavior. How someone treats their subordinates is an excellent gauge of character. There are many attorneys in the Puget Sound area who are fully competent in this area of law AND treat others with respect. It might well benefit Ms. Hardin if she remembered that fact. We will not return to Ms. Hardin's office nor will we recommend this attorney to fellow peers.

My husband and I met with Andrea a few years ago to do estate planning. Neither of us had ever written a will, or had much idea of what needed to be done. She walked us through the process quickly and easily, and worked with us to get everything in place, and gave us advice on how best to set it up. She knows we're "email people" and sent all of our communications/meeting requests electronically, which was great. The final signing with witnesses was fast and easy. We will continue to return to her office when we need to make changes.

Andrea was helping me and my family to complete our comprehensive estate planning before the end of fiscal year. Not only has she identified potential issues with our previous package, she was able to advise better strategies for us in the long run. Our estate planning spans across multiple countries and Andrea was able to find appropriate materials for us. Her professionalism and passion are truly very invigorating in this area of law. Thank you, Andrea. Would definitely recommend her to my colleagues at Microsoft as well as friends and other family members. Thank you, again!

As General Counsel of a New York Stock Exchange-registered full service brokerage firm, Ms. Hardin was recommended to us for her trust and estates expertise. We needed her assistance in interpreting a particularly complex trust. Her analysis was insightful, practical and clear and we implemented, successfully, all of her recommendations.

Andrea has saved me tons of real estate agent fees, once I realised that the agent was not doing his job and had to consult with the lawyer. She was recommended by ARAG as one of the top attorneys, and boy did she deliver. Not only she found many errors in the real estate documents (purchase and sale, appendices and addenda) but also she found the issues with the pending assesments and helped me avoid paying additional fees that were not disclosed. I would highly recommend Andrea's services to anyone looking to close on real estate transaction. I have recommended her frim to many of my colleageus at Microsoft that have also being very happpy with her services. Thank you Andrea for your commitment, customer focus, professionalism and incredible attention to details.

Ms. Hardin prepared estate planning documents for myself and my wife. She definitely was well informed on current tax laws; however, her attitude made us both less than comfortable. She acted condescending towards her staff - it seemed as though there was a power play happening. We, as clients, did not appreciate viewing the interoffice strife such as it was. I will not recommmend Ms. Hardin to any of my MS co-workers.

She appears to be a very intelligent attorney, but she insults almost everyone she interacts with. Rather than create a stress free environment during our transaction, we felt more stressed due to the confrontation she caused with the other attorney, and other parties involved. We were very disappointed in the transaction, and will no longer use her.

We Will Not Return Ms. Hardin is a competent attorney with a well-established practice; however, her professional demeanor (or rather the lack thereof) made us extremely uncomfortable in her office. The condescending attitude she exhibited towards her paralegal during our meeting was both astonishing and disappointing. When we left Ms. Hardin's office, my husband and I both agreed that we would not return based on her behavior. How someone treats their subordinates is an excellent gauge of character. There are many attorneys in the Puget Sound area who are fully competent in this area of law AND treat others with respect. It might well benefit Ms. Hardin if she remembered that fact. We will not return to Ms. Hardin's office nor will we recommend this attorney to fellow peers.

My wife and I needed a fairly complex estate package (involving foreign countries). Ms Andrea Hardin was referred to us by one of my MSFT colleagues. She was able to go through all of the components of the estate plans for me and my family. She went and extra mile to explain things to us that were new and unknown (and there are many!) We are happy and comfortable knowing that our affairs are in order. When the opportunity came to purchase a new home, we called Ms Hardin again. She was as kind as the first time and very very patient with us. She went through every page of every document and found a lot of inconsistencies in the materials proposed by the selling party. We felt well protected and taken care of by such an accomplished attorney. Thank you, Ms Hardin! We will get back to you for the attorney support when the time comes to sell our house in the future. Thank you again!

Andrea has saved me tons of real estate agent fees, once I realised that the agent was not doing his job and had to consult with the lawyer. She was recommended by ARAG as one of the top attorneys, and boy did she deliver. Not only she found many errors in the real estate documents (purchase and sale, appendices and addenda) but also she found the issues with the pending assesments and helped me avoid paying additional fees that were not disclosed. I would highly recommend Andrea's services to anyone looking to close on real estate transaction. I have recommended her frim to many of my colleageus at Microsoft that have also being very happpy with her services. Thank you Andrea for your commitment, customer focus, professionalism and incredible attention to details.

Ms. Hardin prepared estate planning documents for myself and my wife. She definitely was well informed on current tax laws; however, her attitude made us both less than comfortable. She acted condescending towards her staff - it seemed as though there was a power play happening. We, as clients, did not appreciate viewing the interoffice strife such as it was. I will not recommmend Ms. Hardin to any of my MS co-workers.

She appears to be a very intelligent attorney, but she insults almost everyone she interacts with. Rather than create a stress free environment during our transaction, we felt more stressed due to the confrontation she caused with the other attorney, and other parties involved. We were very disappointed in the transaction, and will no longer use her.

We Will Not Return Ms. Hardin is a competent attorney with a well-established practice; however, her professional demeanor (or rather the lack thereof) made us extremely uncomfortable in her office. The condescending attitude she exhibited towards her paralegal during our meeting was both astonishing and disappointing. When we left Ms. Hardin's office, my husband and I both agreed that we would not return based on her behavior. How someone treats their subordinates is an excellent gauge of character. There are many attorneys in the Puget Sound area who are fully competent in this area of law AND treat others with respect. It might well benefit Ms. Hardin if she remembered that fact. We will not return to Ms. Hardin's office nor will we recommend this attorney to fellow peers.

My wife and I needed a fairly complex estate package (involving foreign countries). Ms Andrea Hardin was referred to us by one of my MSFT colleagues. She was able to go through all of the components of the estate plans for me and my family. She went and extra mile to explain things to us that were new and unknown (and there are many!) We are happy and comfortable knowing that our affairs are in order. When the opportunity came to purchase a new home, we called Ms Hardin again. She was as kind as the first time and very very patient with us. She went through every page of every document and found a lot of inconsistencies in the materials proposed by the selling party. We felt well protected and taken care of by such an accomplished attorney. Thank you, Ms Hardin! We will get back to you for the attorney support when the time comes to sell our house in the future. Thank you again!

My husband and I met with Andrea a few years ago to do estate planning. Neither of us had ever written a will, or had much idea of what needed to be done. She walked us through the process quickly and easily, and worked with us to get everything in place, and gave us advice on how best to set it up. She knows we're "email people" and sent all of our communications/meeting requests electronically, which was great. The final signing with witnesses was fast and easy. We will continue to return to her office when we need to make changes.

Andrea was helping me and my family to complete our comprehensive estate planning before the end of fiscal year. Not only has she identified potential issues with our previous package, she was able to advise better strategies for us in the long run. Our estate planning spans across multiple countries and Andrea was able to find appropriate materials for us. Her professionalism and passion are truly very invigorating in this area of law. Thank you, Andrea. Would definitely recommend her to my colleagues at Microsoft as well as friends and other family members. Thank you, again!

As General Counsel of a New York Stock Exchange-registered full service brokerage firm, Ms. Hardin was recommended to us for her trust and estates expertise. We needed her assistance in interpreting a particularly complex trust. Her analysis was insightful, practical and clear and we implemented, successfully, all of her recommendations.
