Nicole R. Hanson

I hired Nicole Hanson for the collaborative divorce process. She is flexible on her level of involvement in each client's case and provides education to help them make the best decisions for themselves. Ms. Hanson is very professional, prompt, and offers competitive hourly rates. She maintains a ...good balance of having empathy and compassion while also pushing on her clients and telling them what is and is not reasonable to expect. It is important to her to make sure her clients understand everything fully, in addition to understanding future implications of current decisions on the parenting plans. She is firm with opposing counsel and will advocate her hardest for her clients on what is important to them. She also has the ability to read how the other side operates, and is able to present things to them in a way she believes will be most effective. Ms. Hanson is very creative in finding middle grounds so that her clients do not feel they are making sacrifices to what is most important to them.

Nicole Hanson was a ray of hope at a time when my options seemed bleak and the likelihood of a satisfactory outcome against a “bulldog” opposing lawyer was nil. Nicole arrived on scene, to an already escalated dispute, with compassion, assertiveness and a moral compass this case had been missing. ... She regularly checked in on the effect this case had on my children and was my biggest cheerleader in beginning my new career. Nicole didn’t back down from frivolous threats from opposing counsel and was ready to defend what she knew needed to happen. I recommend Nicole Hanson as a Family Lawyer to anyone in need of a lawyer who is ethical, resilient and ready to fight for what is right within the guidelines of the law.

Nicole helped me increase my time with my son from around 30 days a year to over 100, while fairly dividing financial responsibilities between both parties. She was extremely diligent with the case and an excellent communicator to help me through the process of getting a parenting plan agreed on. Tho...ugh I know I was not her only case at the time, it was difficult to tell because of her quick response time and her attentiveness to me and my case. Her great understanding of family law and her profesionalism made it easy for me to understand my rights and get to a parenting plan that got me the time with my son I deserved. Her legal strategy and knowledge is incomparable and I would highly recommend her for any family law representation needs.
