Practice Areas

At the Harding Law Office, we have a broad legal practice that focuses on delivering results for our clients.

There are a number of areas that we practice in including divorce, family law, insurance law, probate & estate administration, personal injury, malpractice and real estate and property law. We have a special emphasis in Personal Injury since Marc Harding holds degrees in both Law and Medicine.

Our Practice Areas Include:

Divorce and Family Law
Our firm represents individuals going through a divorce and the legal aftermath. A divorce is the legal termination or dissolution of a marriage and divorce law deals with issues surrounding divorce, including alimony, child support, child visitation, and division of assets. Divorce laws vary by state. There are also alternatives to divorce, including annulment and legal separation. If you need assistance in determining what course of action if right for you, contact us to discuss your case. Family law deals with the legal disputes involving family matters, including divorces, legal separations, adoptions, paternity suits, child support, alimony, and restraining orders.

Probate & Estate Administration
Estate planning, trust and probate law deals with the protection and disposition of assets, as well as the protection of the property and provisions for the personal needs of individuals unable to handle their own affairs by reason of age, illness, or other incapacity. We can prepare your Will and Powers of Attorney for both financial and health care decisions.

Personal Injury – Plaintiff
Our firm represents individuals who have been seriously injured because of the careless or intentional misconduct of another. Victims of personal injury are entitled to financial compensation for their medical care, loss of income, physical injury, pain and suffering, future medical expenses, and the loss of the ability to enjoy life caused by the injury. If you or a family member have been injured as a result of poor medical care, nursing home care or neglect, or in a car accident or other accident, contact us to discuss your case.

Professional Malpractice Law
A medical malpractice case involves injuries arising from the care or treatment rendered by a medical provider. Medical providers include physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians and a variety of other medical professionals. There are many different kinds of medical malpractice, but some examples are: dispensing the wrong medicine or the wrong dose of medicine; improper reading of x-rays; transfusion errors; the misdiagnosis of a life-threatening condition; surgery on the wrong limb; accidents during surgery; infections related to treatment; birth trauma; preventable suicide; restraint-related injuries; burns, falls and pressure ulcers. If you believe you’ve been the victim of a medical mistake, you should contact an attorney with our level of experience in medical malpractice to evaluate and handle your case as quickly as possible. There are complicated and stringent statutes of limitations for medical malpractice cases that limit the amount of time an injured individual has to file a lawsuit.

Real Estate & Property Law
Real estate law deals with real estate, or property, which encompasses anything permanently affixed to land, such as buildings, fences, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, or other items that would be personal property if not attached. Real estate transactions are governed by a large number of federal statutes and state laws. These laws can differ drastically from state to state. If you need assistance in purchasing or selling real estate, please contact us.
