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 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.

Two years ago, I scheduled a consultation with Kristy. I was contemplating divorce, sadly, because my husband was addicted to pornography and drugs. His personality was completely altered because of the addictions. He no longer wanted to be a support to our family financially or emotionally. My c...hildren were confronted by unwanted images when they passed by his computer, and his lack of empathy was heartbreaking. I had tried for 8 years to work things out and see some kind of remorse or change, but when counseling and pleas of change made no difference, I went to talk to Kristy. She had been recommended to me by a realtor I was working with, but I basically knew nothing about her. I wasn't sure whether to pursue divorce or not, but even though there was no promise on my part of hiring her, she attentively listened, took careful notes and told me to come back in two weeks if things looked like I had no other option. I made a second appointment, hoping things would improve during that time. Before the two weeks were up, almost on Valentine's Day, my husband served me with divorce papers. I was devastated and scared and immediately called Kristy not knowing what to do. She was very kind, calmed me and said she would gladly help me. I have not only had the unique opportunity of having an attorney that was highly skilled in her knowledge of the law, but have gained a kind and wise friend who genuinely cared about me and my future. During the past two years, she has worked tirelessly on my case, trying to comfort me and give me hope when I felt there was none. She has listened, not only to my legal concerns, but she has given me invaluable service and advice for my future, the future of my children, and constant help and assistance. No matter when I texted her or emailed her, she responded with kindness and help regarding my situation. I got a little (well, maybe a lot) crazy at times worrying over many of the issues I was facing for the future. It was a complicated case--one that most attorneys would have not taken, much less embraced with the ability and grace that she has shown me over the last two years. She fought for me on every front, calmed me, advised me, and been there for me above and beyond what most friends would have done, much less, an attorney. We were in several mediations, the last one lasted over 15 hours. She reassured me, fed me, walked and talked with me, and had my interests at the forefront of the entire process, never failing to give me her complete and professional attention and care. I not only gained a friend I dearly love, but I had the best legal advice and guidance that I could have ever hoped for. She is the best of the best! My life is better, not only because of the legal help, but because of her advice and friendship, concern for my children, animals, extended family, etc. I will forever be grateful for having had her expertise and experience to guide me. No divorce is ever going to go perfectly since there are other parties involved. No one ever wants to have their family or properties divided, but if there is no other option, Kristy will be there to guide and help and put your life back together. She provided me with hope and help when I thought there was none and was there by my side every step of the way. I could not more highly recommend an attorney if you need help making decisions that are heartbreaking and wanting the best legal, professional, and personal outcome possible than Kristy Hansen. She will always have my most grateful thanks and love for the blessing she has been in my life. She is the best of the best!!

I hired Kristy for an extremely complicated termination case. Kristy was upfront and honest letting me know of the hurdles we would face but was confident that we could overcome them and preceed with the termination and case. Kristy and her team have been nothing short of amazing to work with. They h...ave worked quickly and efficiently to help cut down on cost.They are quick to respond to any questions and are great at keeping me updated on the case. Kristy has treated my case as if it were her own. She was genuinely concerned with the situation we were in and wanted to help do what was best for my son. We have had a few court dates at this point and she has won them all and been able to do everything she had told me she would. I am 100% confident in Kristy and her team. If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely cares, is upfront, honest, knowledgeable and will work hard to get you the best possible outcome then Kristy is who you want to hire.

Kristy was very efficient and effective. I had a very complicated case and a bitter ex-wife. Plus, my ex-wife's attorney was crazy. Throughout the process my ex-wife continued to threaten to go to trial and her attorney was pushing her to goal to trial. Kristy remained calm and clear headed thr...oughout the process. Kristy helped me understand the law, what was reasonable to expect at trail, and the risk/reward of going to trial. We were able to eventually work through the issues and we constructed a very novel settlement and avoided going to trial.
