Here’s what you need to know to regain control of your future
Constance Hardin
Operations Assistant
Constance Hardin has been connected to the Firm in some capacity since 2022, despite not officially joining our team until 2024. She has nearly two decades of customer services and sales experience. Constance obtained her bachelor’s degree in marketing and finance from California State University, Los Angeles, and previously worked as a Personal Banker, teaching financial literacy to underserved communities.
After relocating back to San Diego in 2019, the rise in social and civil unrest that was happening around the world caused Constance to feel deeply impacted and yearning to pursue change. It was then that Constance decided she wanted to pursue law and focus her life on helping the community. So, she returned to school to obtain her master’s degree in administrative justice and security during the COVID pandemic and then received her Paralegal certificate shortly after in 2022. It was during a criminal law course in the paralegal program at the University of San Diego, taught by Ally Keegan, when Constance’s interest in criminal defense, specifically, peaked. Constance appreciates the concept that we are all one decision away from having a very different life and was drawn to our Firm in large part due to the work we do in the community.
Constance is a dog mom to Marley (a 10-year-old Yorkie), enjoys time with friends and family, binge watching law shows like Suits and All Rise, listening to music, and practicing Spanish with Rosetta Stone and Duolingo.

“I came to David Shapiro to end my probation early and expunge my case. I had a very positive and very informative experience with him. David and his assistant Maria were excellent and always kept in the loop of what was going on.”
“Helping good people get their lives back is not just a catch phrase. They mean what they say and are serious about taking care of the client. Ally Keegan and the team at Law Office of David Shapiro are AMAZING! My charges for a 25 plus year old case were dismissed, it was not easy but I truly believe that if I had went with any other Law Firm that the outcome would have been very different. Thank you Ally for helping me get my life back!”
“I called many lawyers after I got my DUI. Stefano was the only lawyer who put my mind at ease and gave me a sense of relief. He constantly communicated with me about my case and laid out all my options. He was willing and able to do whatever he could to help me. He went above and beyond what was expected.”
“I have used David 2 times in the past and he has by far exceeded my expectations. He has great knowledge and knows the system. He is straight forward and honest and somebody you can trust without doubt. I would recommend him to friends, family, and anybody that needs help. Best attorney I’ve ever come across.”
“Stefano Molea was extremely professional and consistently timely with responses to my questions. Most of all, Stefano was reliable. Stefano was diligent with discovery and always prepared and tenacious when relevant to the situation. Stefano is an attorney that you can count on for the best outcome. Thank you Stefano for all you did in my case. You’re so awesome!!!!”
“Ally was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calm and reassuring demeanor was matched with her excellent knowledge, dedication, thoroughness. We unfortunately found ourselves in need of a criminal lawyer and we can without a doubt say that having Ally and her firm represent us from the beginning was the best choice we could have made.”
