My name is Charles Hardy and I am a divorce and family lawyer at Higdon, Hardy & Zuflacht, L.L.P in San Antonio, Texas. Since graduating from St. Mary's University of Law, I have made it my personal mission to resolve cases in a prompt and efficient manner. When clients come to me, I give them my office number, my cell number, and even my home nmber because I want to be as accessible as possible. "Same day return calls" are highly important when it comes to divorce cases, so if there is ever a time that I do not answer my phone, I typically return the call that very same day. That being said, if you are in need of strong representation from a lawyer who has the respect of both judges and the legal community, then I would be more than happy to assist you in your case. I handle a variety of cases, including divorce, family law, child support/visitation, and child custody. If you are in need of legal help, contact my office today at and I would be more than happy to discuss your legal rights and options.

For over thirty years I’ve provided legal navigation for my clients. I believe that most people seeking counsel need practical and economical guidance. I take an expansive view of each case and look for creative solutions.. Many of my cases involve family, employment or business issues. Rather than simply describing myself as a ‘family lawyer’ or a ‘business lawyer’, my focus is trial law. When litigation is the option to be pursued, I work to effectively and ethically present seemingly complex matters to judges and juries.. A large number of my clients have been referred to me by other attorneys. Many of these cases involve novel financial, scientific or technical issues that other attorneys find outside their practice area.  Because my work is not limited to one type of case, I find that my clients benefit from the broad training and experience I have acquired by litigating a wide variety of matters.. Oftentimes, matters that appear to be centered on one issue involve other less obvious issues. One child custody case was reversed on appeal after it was established that the judge violated a client’s Constitutional rights. In another case, a drug testing order was successfully challenged when the testing methodology was deemed scientifically invalid. In another matter, evidence introduced in one trial led to the discovery that a client’s email had been illegally intercepted implicating the defendant and his attorney in a subsequent federal court wiretapping proceeding.. I am a graduate of Pace University School of Law and am admitted to the state and federal bars in Connecticut and New York. I also earned an MBA degree from University of Connecticut. I have a broad business and legal background and look forward to meeting neighbors and working with new clients.

I find that these types of resolutions in family law cases get both people closer to what they want to achieve than anything that a court can do. There is definitely a time and a place for litigation, but I believe that many cases never need to see the inside of a courtroom. Collaborative Law allows more flexibility than other choices of litigation alternatives, and allows the people at the heart of the matter to make creative decisions that will work best for them and their families. I believe that being in control of such decisions is best for a changing family dynamic and allows the parties to move forward with their lives feeling that they had control over the outcome of this very difficult time in their lives.”

PLEASE CALL MY OFFICE AT TO DETERMINE MY AVAILABLITY AND ENSURE I HAVE NO LEGAL CONFLICTS.. If you do send me an email, please do not include any confidential, secret, or otherwise sensitive information concerning any potential or actual legal matter in your email message.  Unsolicited emails do not create an attorney-client relationship and confidential or secret information included in such emails cannot be protected from disclosure.  I do not have a duty or legal obligation to keep confidential any information that you provide to me, until an attorney-client relationship has been established. PLEASE CALL MY OFFICE at  to allow my staff to complete a conflict check and schedule an appointment according to our respective calendars and/or availability, particularly if you believe you have a time sensitive issue (as my court and client time may prohibit a timely response via email from me).  Please note that I only practice in Cowlitz County, Washington.. You can see by the website how the "rating" is calculated.  However, potential clients should not consider my rating as a determining factor in whether or not you desire to use my services.  Each case is different, and a personal consultation is the best way for both of us to determine if we are a good "fit" for your case.  Client reviews, while appreciated, are not a determining factor that you will have the same or likely result in your case, as all cases are different and based upon different factors.. I have been practicing law (family and criminal) since 1993, and have focused my practice solely on family law issues since 2004.  I feel very privileged to meet and work with my clients.  I hope my clients view my work and involvement in their cases as a positive experience, despite the typically difficult legal situation that has resulted in our professional relationship.  I feel very fortunate to have friendly and diligent staff, and they are certainly one of my best assets.  I hope you have the opportunity to meet and get to know them.. On a personal note, I am married with two children.  I love the outdoors (fishing and golf, primarily), and I'm dedicated to giving back to the community.  I continue to donate my professional time to Cowlitz Wahkiakum Legal Aid.  I am involved in Epsilon Sigma Alpha - a philanthropic sorority - where our fundraising efforts help to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Easter Seals, and other local organizations.  In addition, as a past board member for the Salvation Army, I believe in the Salvation Army's mission in providing meals, clothing, and other assistance to those less fortunate.. I hope you consider allowing me to help you navigate the laws involved in your family law case.. Noelle
