Best Legal Team to Have on Your Side

Lizz and Alex and their entire team worked diligently and tirelessly to take my divorce case over from another attorney. Their team concept helps tremendously when you may need a question answered or to provide information when Lizz or Alex is on another case. Lizz is a great leader and seems to no...t only be well respected and liked by her peers, but even the court house staff in my county. She fought hard for me when my now ex-husband insisted on pushing forward all the way to a trial knowing I was disabled and could no longer work and have no family who is even remotely in a position to assist my health needs financially or otherwise as they are all 20-30 years older than me, retired, and hence on a fixed income. We couldn't believe their position knowing the truth of the matter after my suffering with my health issues for now 18 years to only have deteriorated as I aged and then could no longer work! The opposing team insisted on bringing my doctors and other experts in to testify only to spend most of our hard earned savings when my now ex-husband knew exactly what the doctors and other healthcare professionals would say when a settlement was an easy option, yet they kept refusing to sit down to work out a compromise or stipulate to Medical Narratives and Affidavits. Lizz and her team, especially their paralegal who worked so hard on my case, Hailey Ray, did everything possible to get me financial help and set me up in my elder years. I am typically not one to offer praise or referrals unless the firm, company or product made such a positive impact. I am extremely proud to say I would refer anyone to Hait & Kuhn as they truly will work hard on your case (even while sick or on vacation) to get you the very best result possible. The divorce has just been finalized, but Hait & Kuhn and team are still working feverishly and affordably to assist me as I cannot do much for myself any more. They are referring me to other great people and organizations to assist in setting up my future. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better defense team. Lizz and Alex will be the first phone call should I have issues with my ex-husband in the future. I would trust no one else to represent me. It truly has been a pleasure working with the entire team! Thank you all at Hait & Kuhn!

Divorce and family law

After meeting Elizabeth Kuhn on my fifth attorney consultation, I left feeling encouraged and ultimately retained North Metro Litigators for my divorce proceedings. From that point forward, they continually spoke in terms of “us” and “we” in our conversations making me feel that I was not working th...rough this on my own, but that I had a team, and that I was more a friend than just a client. I was impressed that Elizabeth remembered not only the details of my case, but the details of my personal life and continued to express interest and care for my daughters throughout the process. Through the temporary hearings, depositions and mediation, regardless of whether I was working with Elizabeth, Alex or Irene, I was at no time in doubt of their full control of the situation. Throughout every aspect of my divorce, I felt like their unique insight and ability to navigate the intricate processes, helped my case move quickly. I would also like to acknowledge one of the many wonderful office paralegals, Ali Williams, who always offered not only office assistance, but much appreciated empathy and kindness in a less than desirable situation. I would highly recommend North Metro Litigators to anyone who finds themselves in need of any type of legal counsel. Jason

Lizz made a very difficult situation bearable!!!

Hait & Kuhn handled my contested divorce case...and after more than 3 years (at no fault of Hait & Kuhn) my divorce became final. It was a very difficult and complicated divorce and I am very blessed that Lizz was there with me throughout the entire process! I can't say enough about Lizz's professio...nalism and overwhelming knowledge of the legal system. After appearing in court with her several times, it became very evident that she is greatly respected among her peers as well as in the courtroom. There would be periods of time (months) that would pass during the case that I did not need to communicate with Lizz, but even after months of no communication the next time that I would speak with Lizz she made it feel like it had only been days since we had spoken, as if MY case was the only one that she was working on :) Her memory and re-call is AMAZING- never having to repeat my "story" or conversations that we had discussed months (or years) earlier saved me a lot of money, time and frustration. There were times that she was reminding me of things I had forgotten in my own case/life!!! It was clear early-on in working with Lizz that she was not the "typical" lawyer, as she was concerned with minimizing MY expenses. For instance, she reminded me several times to email her vs. calling her if at all possible because it was less expensive for me. And when I did email her, she always was so responsive in answering no matter what time of day it was. This is just one example of many where she informed me of ways I could save money in working with her. Divorce is such a stressful and emotional time (especially when it lingers over 3 years) that I'm not sure that I would have much sanity now if I had not known that I could depend on Lizz and that she had my best interest at heart (not just making money). Lizz was the voice of reason and calm in an unreasonable and chaotic situation. She and the whole staff at Hait & Kuhn became to feel like friends and family to me. If I ever need legal help/advise again, there is no other firm that would ever consider! Thank you Lizz for EVERYTHING!!!

Thank you so much and appreciate the kind words you shared about our staff. As you stated, these things can drag out for years. I appreciate you recognizing this was not the fault of the firm, but an issue with the availability of the judicial system. We will always consider you a friend of this firm. As always, we hope we never see you again under these circumstances ;-)

Look no further...Lizz Kuhn is the attorney you want on your case.

It is a pleasure to write this review for Lizz, Irena and the whole team at North Metro Litigators. I unfortunately found myself facing a divorce, and interviewed several different attorneys to help me navigate what turned out to be one of the hardest life events to date that i have ever been th...rough. I could not imagine, looking back, having anyone else represent me through this process as we worked through a lot of crazy-Lizz and her team handled my case with confidence and know how due to the very apparent experience and expertise they possess. The firms communication of fees, timeline, expectations, and guidance were provided with great clarity. Every team member at the firm was available to answer any and all my questions, and answered them in an extremely timely manner with great detail so i could make decisions. I felt good through it all that i hired the right firm. I even found myself telling them often, "I'm so glad i hired a competent firm" because it didn't seem all attorneys are created equal as we started dealing with the opposing counsel. If you are reading this and have found yourself in a similar situation please do yourself a favor and look no further. This firm will get you through it. My utmost concern was the best outcome for my children and not being stripped of my rights as a loving and involved father. I followed their professional guidance though it all and in the end I was fortunate to get EXACTLY THE RESULT I WAS SEEKING for myself and most importantly my children. I have never been a part time dad and I'm almost emotional to share that i have full access to my children and will be an influential and solid foundation in their lives. Thank you sincerely from my family to yours for your help in all this Lizz, Irena and the rest of the team. My regards to you all, M Johnson

As always, we wish you luck and hope you never need our services again. If you do, we are only a phone call or click away! Best of luck to you ;-)

Liz DOMINATES the courtroom!

I went Hait & Kuhn in May of 2013 to review an uncontested divorce. My consultation was with Liz Kuhn. She did an excellent job reviewing the uncontested. She explained some things and I determined I was getting a pretty raw deal. So I had my (now) ex-wife served with a contested divorce. It was a lo...ng and tough road but Hait & Kuhn was really there for me. We all worked very hard. I mediated joint custody but when my ex tried to move our daughters hundred of miles away, I was given my options and we ended up modifying custody. I, as a man, ended up the custodial parent of my daughters! She is an impressive litigator, who definitely has a passion for law. In trial she was quick on her feet and had a rhythm to her questioning I found quite effective. The entire firm has been responsive to my inquiries, via telephone and email. I would definitely refer friends and family and return to their firm for any legal services.
