About Ford Hardy

Ford T. Hardy, Jr. serves as an Of Counsel personal injury attorney at Kiefer & Kiefer. Over his career, Ford has helped over 5,000 clients. The grandson of a prominent attorney, Ford was inspired to pursue the law from a young age. He graduated from Emory University in 1973 and obtained his Juris Doctor from Tulane University School of Law in 1976.

His first job after becoming a lawyer was with a small firm handling various types of legal cases, and he shifted his practice over the years to focus on personal injury. In December 1983, his office was destroyed by fire. Reconstructing the office gave him lessons in resilience that deepened his connection to clients experiencing the aftermath of serious injuries. Ford prides himself on being communicative with each client to help solve their needs.
