Such a huge help

Jeanne took the time out of her day to help guide me in the right direction with a custody/step parent adoption for over an hour. She went as far to give me her e-mail for further contact Incase I had any other questions. I was not rushed or made to feel like an inconvenience. When I didn’t understan...d something she was patient and broke it down even further for me. I was in awe at the way I was treated by this kind woman. She did this out of kindness. No money involved. At least until I hire her. She’s worth the bang for the buck. I’d back her any day and would feel confident if she were backing me.

Divorce attorney who puts her client and children first

I had a very high conflict divorce, complete with a custody trial. Jeanne Hannah has a wealth of knowledge. She has impressed me not only with her skills, but how she treats her clients and truly listens to them. She went above and beyond what I expected. She explained everything in detail and... with confidence and on a level I could understand. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had, and was very compassionate and understanding and helped alleviate any fears I had though the most stressful time in my life. But do not mistake her level of compassion for weakness, she also is aggressive and goes after what is fair. I ended up having to go to trial, and seeing her in action was a great experience. With her confidence and her well thought out plan, she was able to secure my children a very workable parenting plan that helped further define the "standard" plan used by most courts. I could not have trusted any other lawyer to accomplish what she did for me and my children!
