About Nephi
Nephi Hardman took a steady path into the law. He completed a Bachelor of Arts at Brigham Young University in 2006 and stayed on to earn his J.D. at the J. Reuben Clark Law School in 2010. Those years set the groundwork for a practice centered on insolvency and business reorganization matters.
He began his legal career the same year he graduated. In 2010 he joined William F. Davis & Associates, P.C. as an associate. The early stage of his practice gave him hands-on experience in the everyday work of litigation and transactional practice. It also coincided with his joining professional networks that have remained part of his profile ever since.
In 2019 he took on a leadership role at Turnaround Bankruptcy, Nephi D. Hardman Lawyer at Law, LLC as a managing member. The firm’s name signals the central themes of the practice: bankruptcy and business turnaround. Over the years he has steered matters that require both courtroom presence and negotiated resolutions, and he has overseen the operations of a small practice that handles these issues across state lines.
Hardman holds licenses in New Mexico and Hawaii. His membership in the State Bar of New Mexico dates to 2010, and he added membership in the Hawaii State Bar Association in 2023. He has also been a member of the American Bankruptcy Institute since 2011 and the J. Reuben Clark Law Society since 2010. These associations reflect ongoing engagement with the professional community and continuing legal education in his fields of practice.
Colleagues describe him as practical in approach. He tends to emphasize case management and practical solutions that can resolve client problems through negotiation or through bankruptcy processes. He balances those casework responsibilities with running the administrative side of his firm, which includes supervising filings, client intake, and procedural strategy across different courts.
Hardman’s practice is built around bankruptcy and turnaround matters handled in New Mexico and Hawaii. He represents clients in proceedings that involve restructuring, asset disposition, and creditor-debtor negotiations. His work brings together litigation, document preparation, and settlement efforts as the situation requires.
He continues to lead Turnaround Bankruptcy, Nephi D. Hardman Lawyer at Law, LLC and maintains an active practice focused on bankruptcy and business turnaround matters in his licensed jurisdictions.
