HARDMAN, MAX: A MEMBER of the Washington bar, who as a result of thorough 
training and understanding of the fundamentals of the law as well as the 
application of its principles, has met with splendid success in his practice, 
is Max Hardman, of Seattle.  As a result of his being always frank and above 
any pettiness, he has established and enjoys the patronage of a large and 
representative clientele, and enjoys the confidence of all the courts.  Mr. 
Hardman is a native son of Michigan, where he was born in 1883.  He came to 
Seattle in 1894 and after graduating from the Seattle High School, attended 
the University of Washington for two years, and then entered the law school of 
Columbia University and was awarded his LL. B. degree in 1905.  Mr Hardman 
practices his profession as an individual.  He has the reputation of 
transacting business so as to avoid any litigation, and where litigation is 
necessary, of making careful, painstaking preparation for trial and argument.  
In the trial of matters he carries at his finger tips a vast array of legal 
knowledge upon which he frequently draws, and the directness and precision 
with which he goes about matters unquestionaably stamps him as a lawyer of 
splendid capacity and good judgement.  He is technical when occasion requires, 
a good student of human nature, a man of keen mind, and his standing among 
bench and bar is of the best.  In addition to his standing as a lawyer Mr. 
hardman is recognized as a successful business man who has had a particularly 
large experience in the real estate business.  He is recognized as an 
authority on landlord and tenant matters.  In 1911 Mr. Hardman married Miss 
Edith Levy, and the couple have three children.
