A true professional- you won't find better representation.

Kristy represented a close family member through an incredibly difficult divorce and messy, drawn out custody battle. No matter how complicated or contentious things became, Kristy was always calm, organized, prepared, and proved many times over again to be thinking several steps ahead. She’s an incr...edible communicator, she is eloquent, confident, and has a way of making complicated issues easy to understand. She genuinely cares and helps carry the weight of the legal battle alongside you. Her driver is how much she cares and wants to fight for what's right . She’s smart, tough, compassionate, and someone I would trust with the people I care about most. Save yourself the time of looking around and call Kristy. If you’re lucky enough to get on her schedule, hire her. You’ll be glad she’s in your corner.

A True Advocate When It Matters Most!

Kristy has been an incredible advocate for my sister throughout an incredibly difficult legal battle. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, dedicated, and truly fights for her clients. Watching her stand by my sister and continue to advocate for her has meant so much to our family. We are incredibly g...rateful for everything she has done!

Kristy Hansen is the lawyer you want

Kristy defended my really good friend and one of my favorite things about her has been how she uses FACTS as she defends. She does her homework before each case and in court she actually brings real facts about the case. She is so good with her words too, very articulate and knows what she’s talking ...about. Need a lawyer?? Kristy’s got you.

PHENOMENAL Attorney

I was told Kristy Hanson was a tiger in court, that she strategically makes decisions and coaches along the way— she is all this and more. My divorce case has been extremely high conflict- demanding a lot of time and help to get through every day. Kristy and her team managed the crazy and never made ...me feel alone in the process. She fought hard for all that I wanted and even things I didn’t know I needed. Because of her, I got to keep and raise my babies. Because of her, my kids are happy and thriving. I will forever be grateful for her help in all the life changing decisions that weighed so heavily on me! She and her amazing team helped me navigate and assisted me through some really hard times. I would not hesitate seeking Kristy’s advice and help, she knows what she’s doing and does it so well!!

"Outstanding Legal Representation: A Truly Amazing Lawyer"

There is so much to say about Kristy! Not only is she a brilliant attorney, but she also goes the extra mile to understand your situation so she can accomplish what is needed for you. She is articulate, poised, and focused on resolving issues. Kristy has an incredible ability to see the bigger pict...ure and strategize effectively. She is determined and stands firm in advocating for her clients needs. In your divorce, don’t lose hope—Kristy will fight for you when you feel like you can't fight anymore. I couldn't have navigated this without her. My divorce was extremely complex, but she was fully prepared to handle every aspect of the legal proceedings. Retaining her was the best decision I made during my divorce; it truly changed everything during the toughest year of my life!
