About

I am a litigator with over 20 years of experience in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  Although a large part of my practice is focused on employment litigation and civil rights issues, I have also represented clients in a variety of matters involving complex commercial litigation. In the employment field, I represent both employees and employers who want to do the right thing.  I have handled cases involve claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, whistleblowing, restrictive covenants and trade secrets, and wage and hour claims.  We also conduct independent investigations of workplace misconduct. I bring extensive experice, including teaching at Seton Hall Law School and practice in top notch law firms.  I am a graduate of Cornell University, and N.Y.U. School of Law, where I was on the Editorial Board of the NYU Law Review.  After law school, I was a federal judicial law clerk to the Hon. John J. Gibbons, on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals In addition to the highest quality legal work, my clients tell me that they appreciate that I am accessible, honest, and easy to talk to.  I will return your phone calls promptly, I promise.  I will be honest with you, always.  I will take the time to listen to your concerns.  I will give you my best professional opinion about your options, and then encourage you to make the choices that work best for you. I take a great deal of pride in the quality of legal services that I provide my clients. Employment litigation takes tenacity, sensitivity and smarts.  My partner Tiffanie Benfer and I work together to be sure that every client is served as well as possible. We are proud that much of our work comes from referrals from other lawyers who have seen us in action, and from the clients we have served. Feel free to give our office a call and see whether our firm is a good match for your needs.

I had the good fortune to work with Ginger on a workplace issue involving discrimination. From the first phone call Ginger showed the utmost integrity and knowledge on the subject. She was patient and engaged in hearing about the situation, very upfront about my options, and throughout the process provided clear information to help guide my decisions. She was prompt and courteous, and also appropriately firm, in all her communication. She was able to reach a mutually agreed upon resolution in under 3 months and I was thrilled with the outcome! I would (and in fact already have) highly recommend her for any of the legal areas in which she practices.

Ginger is an wonderful attorney! Knowledgeable, calm, tough, focused. If you want your complaint resolved with fairness and compassion, without being dragged into excessive confrontation, she is the best! She was able to resolve my case (against a very large and formidable employer) in a way that was really the best for me, and quickly too! I highly, highly recommend Ginger and her team for any employment law issues.

Let me begin by saying that I had consulted previously with a place I found from googling "top sexual harassment lawyers" that told me I had no case (too bad for them!!). I thought I would give it another shot (believing I truly had a good case), and found Ginger here on Avvo. She gave me such a sense of relief after our first point of contact. Not only did she explain all of my options, including but not limited to the ones where she felt I could rectify my situation without a lawyer, but she did so unbiasedly. I never felt that she was trying to push me in one way or the other, and she made sure I had adequate time to think about any of my steps moving forward. After deciding on pursuing my case, she set up a two hour zoom meeting where she heard every aspect of my story. I never once felt judged, or belittled. I could tell she was thorough in asking me the types of questions in order to get information I wouldn't have even though of mentioning prior. The compilation of events was put together in an extremely professional well-written letter to the harasser. Throughout the time of negotiations, Ginger was always prompt to fill me in with any news, answer any questions I had, and always gave her honest opinion on given situations. Long story short, in about 4-5 months we reached a mutually satisfactory outcome. I could not be happier with her effectiveness and professionalism. Ginger is not only a great lawyer, but a compassionate and caring individual. She fought so hard for me and made sure I would be happy with the results. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Ginger, you are the BEST!

I came to Virginia's Law Firm and met Tiffanie. She was professional, caring, knowledgeable, creative, compassionate, and also elegant. I just lost a brother, and had to take care of things; so my concern took a different destiny. Thank you Tiffanie... Thank you Hardwick and Benfer law Firm....

I was refered to Hardwick Benefer's office by a friend. The moment I walked into the office, I felt very comfortable, Virginia was the legal consultant that worked with me on my case. She was a very genuinly nice person. My case took couple months till it was resolved. During these couples months, Virginia answered all my emails and answered all my questions very clearly and fast. I knew that my case will be resolved to my best interest at the very first moment I had my meeting with Virginia during my first visit. My experince was very smooth I hope this review will help people who are looking for a courteous and professtional legal consultant. Thank you again Virginia!

I highly recommend Virginia (Ginger) Hardwick and her team for legal assistance. Ginger worked very hard on my case of wrongful termination. Thanks to her and her team, I was able to bring the case to a successful conclusion through settlement. Ginger was very good at explaining the different options I was facing at each step along the way. I was impressed by her professional knowledge, integrity and kindness. I felt very comfortable and confident with her being my lawyer. Her work was thorough and very professional. She was easy to reach and to communicate with. She always listened, and responded, to my concerns and questions. Thank you!

I retained Ginger for a Sarbanes-Oxley wrongful termination suit. The defendants were very aggressive to downright nasty in their approach to the case but Ginger persevered and we ultimately reached a favorable settlement. Throughout the case she did a great job of explaining what was going on and how her actions would help us reach a good conclusion. She followed every lead and was clearly personally committed to winning the case. While I would have preferred winning to settling (there are always things to be unhappy about in a settlement), her advice to settle looks wiser with each passing day.

I found this lawyer to be courteous, responsive and competent. Very professional. She is supported by some very efficient staff in her office. She was extremely patient with me and listened to everything that I had to say. It feels nice to be treated with respect and dignity.
