The only attorney I will ever use!

Our attorney Lucy Hansen and her aid Brandy were absolutely fantastic! They truly care for their clients! Lucy Hansen explained everything to us about the process, answering all our questions and went above and beyond to work and communicate with us. She knew how to professional handle the situation,... and is clearly respected in the legal community! I would recommend Lucy Hansen and Judnich Law Office to anyone. This is the only attorney and law office I will every use this attorney from now on!

Divorce

I would definitely recommend Lucy to anyone needing a good Divorce Attorney. She was there to answer my questions and to help me through one of the most difficult times in my life. She kept me informed every step of the way and we were able to be in front of the judge and finalized in less than 3 m...onths.

review of my lawyer Lucy Hansen

From the first time I meet Lucy I knew she was the right lawyer for me. The comfort was already very high from just the first few minutes we talked. And from that point on Lucy did not fail to perform. She always kept me in the loop through every phase of my case. If I had a question she always had t...he answer. If she didn't have the answer at that time, I got it in very short order. When I would have to leave a message for Lucy she ALWAYS got back to me in a timely manner. Lucy was much more than a lawyer to me, she was like having a good friend helping you through one of the worst times of my life. There is without a doubt Lucy Hansen is the best attorney I've ever had the pleasure to work with. A true professional !!

The Best

Lucy has provided me a closure to a custody dispute that has lasted over 6 years. I had hired a lawyer back in '05 and the way he handled my case left me feeling like he didn't really care and he was only doing it because I had paid him. I feel Lucy took my case very serious and was available to me a...t any time I needed. Believe me when I say I called her a lot! Every time, always answering my questions and giving me advice. The custody dispute got to the point where it was nasty, Lucy was able to help me through a lot of that and, as it stands right now, I have gotten everything I've asked for from the judge. Something I haven't been able to do by myself or with previous lawyers. She really has made this so much easier. Lucy was able to get me full custody of both my daughters. My youngest isn't my biological daughter. After 5 years of DFS involvement, police reports, documented abuse, I tried everything to get the kids in my care. I worked very hard and got as much legal help as I could from the self-help Law Center. Nothing would happen. I finally broke down and contacted Lucy, who was recommended to me be my kid's counselor. It wasn't but 5 months before we were in court and the judge granted me custody of my kids. Their mom fought it all the way. I have limited experience with other lawyers but I can say that if I ever get another lawyer they will be held at a high standard and have some big shoes to fill. Lucy is incredibly understanding and will work with you to fulfill all your legal needs. Lucy comes highly recommended, I can say with confidence that Lucy is one of the BEST, not just as a lawyer but as a person.

She's awesome

Lucy is an excellent attorney. She listened to me when I needed to wine a little, kept me grounded during some rather stressful times during my divorce, told me straight out if it was something I didn't want to hear. She is not afraid to get tough when it's needed and has a dandy sense of humor that ...would always lighten my mood. She is the kind f person you'd be glad to meet anytime, not just when you need a lawyer.
