Kenneth L. Hardison

Growing up in Dunn, North Carolina, Ken Hardison decided he wanted to become an attorney after seeing many of the hard working families and individuals in the Dunn area being taken advantage of by those who knew how to apply the law. He wanted to be the one that leveled the playing field.

After completing his undergraduate work at Campbell University, where he graduated with honors, Mr. Hardison enrolled in Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. Upon receiving his Juris Doctorate in 1982, he quickly went into practice in Dunn, North Carolina.

In 27 years of practice, Mr. Hardison has acquired many accolades, which he attributes to his focused attention to each and every client he represents. From being voted one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in North Carolina to being a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum*, it is easy to see he is passionate about his clients and serious about the quality of their representation.

Mr. Hardison’s ethics, integrity and standards have set the path for which the Firm operates on a daily basis. He is described by attorneys and staff as someone who puts the client first, is very experienced and is always willing to help no matter the problem.

What To Do Right After An Accident?

Having an accident can be a very stressful situation whether you are injured or not. However, there are a few things you can do right after an accident to make the ordeal a little less stressful. First, at the scene get as much information as you can about the other party. Get the driver’s name, address, phone number and license plate number. If there are any witnesses that saw the accident and come to check on you, get the witness’s name, address and phone number. Many times witnesses leave before the police arrive. However, if you have this information you can give it to the police officer and she/he can follow-up with the witness if there is a dispute as to what happened in the accident.
