Kristy L Hanson

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!!

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 contacted Kristy after several years of 50/50 custody with a very dysfunctional ex. My children were struggling and needed help. Kristy was very careful in her approach with the case and extremely knowledgeable of the laws. The case was highly fragile. As all legal cases do, it took time and... there were a few scary hurdles and uphill battles but Kristy held me up through it all and we recently made some positive headway and were able to get help and make good custody changes for my kids. I have worked with other lawyers along the way and Kristy is the best... absolutely brilliant. She was recommended highly to me and I highly recommend her to anyone needing help for their family law issues. She was upfront and honest about what to expect and was able to give reasonable accurate cost estimates. She was kindly conscientious of my money. At one point, it would have been easy to take our case before the judge, and that would have cost me at least $30,000 more. In the end we would likely have been successful before the final court, but Kristy went out of her way to keep my case from going to trial because of the high cost, not to mention further emotional strain for me and the kids. Kristy has been great about responding to my questions, even sometimes when she's out of the office with her family. She was well prepared for the hearing with the commissioner and quite frankly put the commissioner in his place. Kristy was able to get what we needed approved against several odds. And that set the ball rolling in a good direction. She has cried with me and celebrated with me. She will fight for what's right with everything she has. She is a lawyer who still has integrity intact.

Kristy Hanson is hands down the best lawyer we could have ever asked for; I wish we would have known about her from the beginning when I filed for divorce. I had a VERY high conflict divorce that had protective orders involved against my ex husband. I was referred to another attorney initially and in...stead of getting me results he kept ringing up my bill without accomplishing anything and caused nothing but negative ramifications to my children and I. Finally after 2 years of ongoing battles, 200K in paid legal bills and absolutely no results other than making our case worse and causing more stress, I fired my attorney and hired Kristy Hanson. From the moment we hired her she worked tirelessly to go above and beyond to protect my children and I and to get us the results we so desperately wanted. My previous lawyer made it seem our best possible option for my children was to have supervised visits with my ex husband so my children would be safe with my ex who was abusive my children and I. Kristy didn't just accomplish the goal of protecting my kids from my ex husband in just a few months of hiring her; but she was able to work with my ex husbands attorney and got them to agree for him to surrender his parental rights and let my new husband adopt them. She did all this for a fraction of the cost of our old attorney!! This was seriously something we never thought would be possible. Not only are my husband and I so grateful but our children are so happy because they do not have to live in fear anymore and they know they never have to see him again. She is honestly a miracle worker. Kristy not only is aggressive and a hard worker but she has great relationships with the other attorney's, mediators and judges / commissioners in the area; her reputation proceeds her. Kristy is invested and passionate about what she does and we owe everything to her. If you are thinking of hiring an attorney; we absolutely suggest you hire Kristy. You will not find a kinder, more invested, and hard working attorney than Kristy Hanson. Kristy thank you so much for keeping our children safe and making our dream a reality!

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!!!
