This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Doesn't follow through

She was quick to make a plan and put my mind at ease, then didn't follow through with any of it. She missed court deadlines that resulted in limited options. She neglected to provide me with very important information relevant to my case; things which would have influenced my decisions. This mista...kes were expensive and have caused great hardship. I do believe she had good intentions but when she was needed, she realized the mistakes she had made and went completely MIA. If you want the peace of mind that your attorney is doing everything possible to represent you, I would highly recommend rolling the dice with a different attorney. This attorney is still very much a novice in the field with much to learn about the law as well as people.

Willing to help those who need help.

After I became under investigation, Hannah was able to get me cleared in less then a week. I would recommend anyone to contact her for representation. I was accused of a horrible crime. I less then a week Hannah was able to get the case closed and me from being charged with a crime I was innocent of.... No other lawyer was willing to help me, but she took my case and got the case closed. I thank you Hannah for the time you took to help me.

Highly recommend Ms. Vellinga

I highly recommend Hannah Vellinga for any legal services you may need. Ms. Vellinga represented my family member in a very sensitive, complex legal matter and always displayed the highest level of integrity and professionalism. She was dedicated to the case and doggedly pursued even the small detai...ls of the case that ended up making a big impact in the outcome. My family and I could not be happier with her services. I also greatly enjoyed working with her and the law firm. All were very friendly and most helpful navigating a very complicated legal system.

Awesome job

When we contacted Miss Vellingai had been locked up for a few years already and was out last chance for a pcr. The next three years Miss Vellinga worked and worked and worked and fought and fought and fought for me and my family. She is wonderful and very smart. Best attorney and I highly highly re...commend her!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
