Amazing!

At first, Hannah did a consultation to review divorce papers and thoroughly went over the divorce and custody process. I was going to represent myself in what was supposed to be a simple divorce. As soon as Hannah and I had our consultation, I knew I wanted her to represent me and I’m SO thankful tha...t she did. It was a long and emotional process, but Hannah was excellent and there to answer any question I had along the way. Hannah is a very dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer who always made sure I understood what was going on and was always a step ahead! Danielle, her paralegal, was also very nice, prompt with emails, and knowledge! I’m so glad I had these two ladies through the divorce process and would recommend them to anyone in need of a divorce/ family lawyer!

Awesome Professional Attorney

Hannah represented me in my divorce. My case was more complicated than it appeared on paper, but she did not display frustration. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who also understands the personal aspect of family law, balancing professionalism while showing she understood the emotional tol...l the process was taking on me. I was treated like an individual, not just another client. Hannah (and Danielle, her paralegal), were very responsive to all communication, both phone calls and emails. I was given several options of how to proceed along the way and Hannah was patient and listened to my needs. She provided excellent and realistic advice – not just telling me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. A huge piece which alleviated some of the stress of this difficult process was the very fair, transparent retainer agreement. There were no surprise bills, which gave me time to make a well thought-out decision and not feel rushed. I do not know how I would have made it through this whole process without having Hannah as my attorney. Thank You Hannah!

Phenomenal Attorney!!

I came across the website for Blacha Law while searching for a divorce lawyer. Google searching a divorce lawyer instead of using recommendations from friends/colleagues was risky, but after reading the reviews, I made the appointment to meet with Hannah. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to mov...e forward with Blacha Law. Hannah was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, sincere, and very responsive to emails and phone calls. She was always one step ahead of everything and made one of the most difficult times in my life as painless as possible. I will forever be grateful for how wonderful she was. I have recommended Hannah and her team to 3 other people and I will continue to do so for anyone else in need of an amazing divorce

Best Divorce Attorney

5 stars I hired Hannah McKinney from the Blacha Law firm.After firing my former Attorney I found Hannah and wished I had her from day 1!!! She is very knowledgeable, and fair and corrected wording on my divorce decree that helped me, while my former Attorney was just all about the money and I was ...getting nowhere with him!!! Hannah cared, and if I had her from the beginning she would have gotten me more than I was getting!!! If anyone is going through a divorce look no further and go with the Blacha Law firm, you will NOT be disappointed!!!! Very competent and friendly staff!!! Thank You Hannah and Blacha Law firm, Nikki Caputo

Competent and Ethical Representation

I could not be happier with the services provided by Hannah and her team. Hannah is not only a very competent attorney, she also genuinely cares about her clients and it shows in her work and results. Hannah is extremely passionate about her work and it is evident in how she goes above and beyond to ...serve her clients' and their families' best interests. You can tell that she truly cares about each individual case. Hannah is very result driven and no nonsense while also a realist when it comes to letting you know what is feasible and what is not rather than just billing you countless hours to chase a pipe dream. Very responsive and understanding of the stress that legal proceedings put on her clients emotionally and financially. For the first time ever, I can truly say that I feel that the money I spent on legal representation were well spent and me and my children are better off due to the outcomes that Hannah helped achieve. All around, Hannah was a pleasure to deal with, as much as any litigation can be considered a pleasure, and she provided exactly what she said she would. Hannah acted 100% in he best interest of my children and myself. Billing procedures were stated up front and there were never any of the usual incidents of unreasonable billing what so ever. So refreshing to not have to look for $75.00 "respond to email" charges etc on monthly statement and fully trusting that you were actually paying for legal work and not just "padding" on a statement. This is the first time that I have retained legal services and not walked away with a scummy taste in my mouth and it is truly due to Hannah and her staff being a competent team that truly cares about their clients and will fight for them as well. Cannot express how much of a blessing Hannah and her team have been and I highly recommend them to anyone being in needing family law representation.
