Many of my clients never thought they would ever need the services of an attorney, however after their accident they were faced with property damages, serious injuries, the inability to continue working and mounting medical bills and/or household bills, they had to get help. I am proud to represent honest hard working men and women, who were injured through no fault of their own. The relationships I have developed with my clients over the years have created deeply rooted friendships. I truly enjoy the helping people and in some instances changing their lives for the better.

After successfully trying multiple cases in federal and state court, Mr. Hargett was selected by the National Trial Lawyers Association to become a member of the Top 40 under 40!
