Kristy L Hanson

I worked with Kristy over a period of a year and a half through divorce. She was highly strategic in planning and fierce in negotiating during mediations. She looked for opportunities to help me as her client in ways that I didn't clearly identify during the process but was afterward very grateful f...or. Above all, I'm thankful for the personal connection that I felt with Kristy, in how she listened thoughtfully and empathetically to my situation and wanted to do what was not only best for me, but, most importantly, what was best for our family--especially the children. Thanks, Kristy!

I have never filed a review online, but the disappointment in Kristy was such that I felt I needed to warn others. Kristy was recommended to me and I was hopeful she would do a good job, even though my impression of her when I accompanied a friend to a consultation was not very good. Here are some of... the complaints I have had: - she never responded to some of my messages despite me asking the question several times - she tried to talk me into a solution that would have cost me $6000 more than what I was already paying, for no need and no reason, trying to bind me through a contract to use her friend rather than someone of my choice to settle an issue. I spent and payed for some 10 minutes to argue with her against the solution she was proposing (which was actually what my ex wanted. Felt like she was representing his interests, not mine). Looking back, I am SO glad I stood my grounds and saved myself those extra $6K. - she made a serious mistake at trial. I didn't know what I was allowed to do, say or not do. The cost of that mistake was $3000. I pointed it out to her explaining that I understood that error was human, but still very costly to me, and she kept arguing about what the judge had asked, in order to justify her answer. Everytime I argued that he did not ask that, she came up with something new that the judge had asked (none of which was correct). When finally confronted with the actual transcript, she argued that that's what the judge "meant" even though that wasn't what he asked at all and made me appear as being in contempt rather than compliant. How dishonest to twist the facts just to save face and get her payment (which I was willing to pay, nonetheless hoping for a small discount). - She brought another attorney to court with her, making me pay for 2 attorneys without letting me know asking for my consent. All the other attorney did was carry her papers. She did agree to remove that charge. - Finally I was never notified by her office of the court date and when my papers had to be turned in. I finally called, only to find out they needed my answer right away!

I hired Kristy to help protect my children from my ex husband, and his wife. Yes fighting your ex-spouse and his wife is expensive. But every single penny of debt I own now was worth it, because when it comes to protecting your children from a pedophile there is no monetary limit. Kristy made it pos...sible for me to protect my kids which should be every mothers #1 priority. Kristy fights so hard for her clients. I was always able to reach her or one of her staff (who all knew my case well) through email, or phone call. Kristy sent me texts the night before court dates to tell me to take deep breaths and that she was there with me. As soon as I hired Kristy it felt like I had the entire MHM firm fighting with me. These people truly believe in the justice system, and have moral compasses that can not be turned! Kristy continues to provide ongoing support even after my ex husband was sentenced to prison for 22 years for crimes against children. She is always willing to answer a question or a phone call, and I know she will be honest with me. Kristy wont tell you something is possible if it is not, she will not just give you the answer you are hoping for. She stays professional and has an understanding that the best thing she can do for her clients is to help them understand the legal system, and how it is there to protect/help them. I appreciated this honestly because I always felt confident because I knew our case strong built on fact, not on emotion. My children are safe and happy and beginning to heal from a horrific few years, and I believe that this is possible because of Kristy and the MHM team! THANK YOU!!!

I first visited Kristy Hansen on 2011 with a divorce and she was hands down the most helpful and realistic attorney ever. Everything was buttoned up and done within a few months. I had such a pleasant experience then, that I revisited her again regarding custody of minor children and a few other is...sues I was having with my ex. Kristy and her staff are beyond helpful and go above and beyond to help me and communicate everything with me. Everything was done fast and I was never left questioning anything. I would pay any amount to have this woman represent me or my family.

Kristy was used by a family member of mine. The situation surrounding them was horrific involving her ex husband. Not only was Kristy efficient and timely in her info and communication she was also very knowledgeable of the rights my sister had in regards to protecting her children from a convicted p...edophile. My sister had already used another attorney that was horrible and was gun shy but Kristy was perfect. Fighting to protect her children cost her a significant amount of money that she will be paying for many years but it was worth every penny!
