An Absolute Lifesaver: Exceptional Communication and Outstanding Results!

I cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for Mandee, who handled my family law case with unparalleled professionalism, empathy, and expertise. From our very first consultation to the final resolution, Mandee consistently went above and beyond, transforming what could have been an incredibly s...tressful and daunting experience into a manageable and ultimately successful journey. Communication was truly a standout aspect of her representation. In a field where clear and consistent updates are paramount, Mandee excelled. I was always kept informed, often with proactive updates, about every development in my case. She was incredibly responsive to my calls and emails, patiently answering all my questions, no matter how small, and explaining complex legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand. This level of transparency and accessibility provided immense peace of mind during a very challenging time. I never felt in the dark or unsure of the next steps, which is a testament to their dedication to client communication. Beyond the excellent communication, the results Mandee achieved were nothing short of excellent. They navigated the intricacies of my case with remarkable skill and strategic foresight. Mandee demonstrated a profound understanding of family law, anticipating potential challenges and preparing thoroughly for every scenario. Their negotiation skills were exceptional, leading to an outcome that not only met but exceeded my expectations. I felt truly advocated for, and their unwavering commitment to securing the best possible result for me and my family was evident at every turn. Mandee is not just a highly competent attorney; she is also a compassionate individual who genuinely cares about their clients. They provided not only legal guidance but also much-needed emotional support and reassurance throughout the process. If you are seeking a family law attorney who combines brilliant legal acumen with outstanding communication and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome, look no further than Mandee. She is, without a doubt, a five-star professional who will fight tirelessly for your best interests. Thank you, Mandee, for everything. You made a profound difference.

honesty

Dishonest and incompetent . Doesn't work for you. Works to build up her case fee and disorganized. Disciplined in 2019 & 2021

Thank you Mandee!!!

Honestly I can’t believe this woman’s work ethic and how she has created such a phenomenal staff ready to serve her clients. I was guided to Emily DeFoor & Kara Key but Mandee was used in consultation for several of my needs. She provided such a level of detail and explanation that I knew I had made ...the right choice. Her team was excellent.

Practical, Comprehensive, and Timely.

If you find yourself in a predicament where you must hire a family lawyer, I offer my condolences. Buckle up because it is likely going to be a ride and you will have to dig deep to keep fighting for what you may believe is right. Secondly, if Mandee has the availability to add you as a client and... you feel she is a good fit, be assured that you are getting solid, grade-A legal representation. Mandee is super reasonable to work with, honors your time, and is really polite in her interactions- a rare quality in lawyers. The team is prompt, conscientious about costs, and pretty sharp with their advice. One thing that stands out is their approach to cost-efficiency; they ensure the legal process doesn't burn a hole in your pocket, which is much appreciated. She assigned me to do a decent amount of work and I was happy to do it since it keeps costs down. With their help, I secured joint legal custody s. Her advice was clear, timely and helped navigate the tricky process. When she fought for me in the courtroom, it was evident that she knew her stuff and did not hesitate to bat on the front foot. It felt safe when she was making her arguements. Special kudos to Kara and Tsion as well for their excellent service throughout. She was consistently on top of things, keeping the process smooth and easy. Above all, Pingel Family Law helps maintain a balanced perspective. They ensure that while dealing with the complexities of court procedures, you keep sight of your well-being. They're focused on child welfare and help you feel confident about your role as a parent, even amidst legal battles. Their service is truly a blend of professionalism, competence and empathy.

Outstanding

Patrick Davis agreed to take on my case right when it was at its worst and his caseload the busiest. Mandee Pingel then pursued it with passion and dedication until it was fairly resolved. Can't imagine there are any better divorce attorneys in the KC metro.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Stayed Suspension/Probation issued in KS, 2021

updated on 02/07/2022

Stayed Suspension/Probation means an attorney did something wrong, but may still practice law. This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. In this case the State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension Stayed With Probation issued in MO, 2019

updated on 03/04/2010

This type of suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.
