Chase Hardy is a Texan through and through.

Ingrained in him is the belief that fortune follows the bold. The courageous that are willing face their oppressor and fight for what’s right. Courage from the client. Courage in the courtroom. Chase always fights to win.

Chase understands that a journey through our judicial system can be intimidating. The fear of the unknown can creep into every crevice of a person’s life. This is why Chase has dedicated his life to understanding the intricate and nuanced workings of the court— and of the law.

A continual thirst for knowledge and years of traditional schooling has crafted Chase into a truly zealous advocate for everyone he represents. He believes deeply in the wisdom of the jury and is proud to take a case to verdict when it’s in the best interest of his client.

The son of a travel agent and a family law attorney, Chase was raised with the spirit of adventure and the knowledge that in America, anything is possible.

A San Antonio Native, Chase began his primary education in the small area of Castle Hills. He studied Finance at Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he was heavily involved in student life.

As an undergraduate, Chase was chosen by Baylor Administrators to serve on the government relations team as a student representative. Here, he was able to advocate for financial aid and other student interests with officials in Austin and Washington D.C.

Chase stayed in Waco for his legal studies where he attended Baylor University School of Law. Chase contributed to the law school’s advocacy programs by competing on multiple Mock Trial and Moot Court teams in state and regional competitions.

In law school, Chase spent his summers clerking for two prominent San Antonio Plaintiff’s and Defense firms and had the honor of working with Justice Patricia O. Alvarez of the Fourth Court of Appeals in the summer of 2017.

Chase spent years in the trenches at respected litigation firms, learning from top trial attorneys and building his reputation as a fearless advocate before founding HARD LAW in 2025. His practice areas include: personal injury and high stakes civil litigation.
