Services ~ VMI Honor Court

Van Hardenbergh has served as an investigator in VMI Honor Court cases as a cadet, advised parties on cases as a VMI professor, and has also defended cadets before the Honor Court as an attorney. Van helped a defendant win a unanimous jury acquittal in a 2007 VMI Honor Court case that involved 10 charges of making a False Official Statement as well as Stealing. Van's client was innocent, and the aggressive, relentless defense that was developed convinced every member of the jury to find him innocent on every single charge.

If you have been arrested by the VMI Honor Court, Van Hardenbergh will discuss the case with you and provide a free assessment to you and or/your parents. Van is a supporter of the Honor System, but that system only works when the Court is required to convict in cases where the prosecutors prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Van can help clients facing charges before the Honor Council or Honor Committee at any school that allows a fair judicial process including the assistance of attorneys as counsel. Before you decide how to prepare for trial, call Van and let him give you an objective assessment of your case.
