Hannah Lucille Scheidecker

If I could leave zero stars, I would. I hired Hannah Scheidecker to represent my late father's estate, trusting her to handle an important and emotionally significant legal matter. Instead, I have experienced what I consider to be an appalling lack of communication, professionalism, and accountabi...lity. I paid this attorney $5,000 in two separate retainers. Despite that financial investment, I have not received meaningful communication from her since July 6, 2026. On June 10, 2026, I formally requested my complete client file. More than four months later, I am STILL waiting. I have made repeated attempts to obtain information and have been met with silence. After months of frustration, I sent a formal demand letter requesting a refund of the $5,000 I paid. That letter has also been completely ignored. Apparently, even a formal written demand is not enough to warrant a response. Let that sink in. I paid thousands of dollars for legal representation, cannot obtain my own client file, cannot get answers about my case, and cannot even get a response to my request for a refund. This is not a minor customer service issue. This is an attorney-client relationship involving serious legal and financial matters. Clients should not have to beg their attorneys to communicate with them. What makes this especially upsetting is that this involves my deceased father's estate. I entrusted this attorney with something deeply personal and important to my family. Instead of receiving the representation and guidance I expected, I have been left with wasted time, mounting frustration, and the additional burden of finding another attorney to address a matter that should have been progressing months ago. I am now pursuing a formal complaint with the appropriate North Dakota attorney disciplinary authorities. My experience has left me questioning how an attorney can accept thousands of dollars from a client and then repeatedly fail to respond to requests for basic information. I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring Hannah Scheidecker. Ask yourself whether you are comfortable potentially spending thousands of dollars and then struggling to get so much as a response. I deeply regret placing my trust in this attorney. I would never recommend her services based on my experience.
