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!

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 me in a high conflict divorce with complex custody issues and a large estate to work through. She has shown strength and class from day one. That is exactly what I was looking for to help my family through this difficult time. By the time I hired her, I had already been dea...ling with a couple of months of limited time with my kids. She went right to work in filing temporary orders. She and her team worked late into the night (Midnight) night after night preparing for the hearing. Her preparation was so good leading up to the hearing that the hearing only lasted about 30-40 minutes. The end result was me getting 50/50 custody, keeping possession of my house and not paying temporary alimony while we work to a final resolution. She is honest and hardworking and will not back down to anyone. She did not ask for a large retainer up front and only bills me as time acures. The communication has been good with her and her staff through the entire process. The depth of her staff and their knowledge base is amazing. They are all very respectful and understood the high stress situation I was dealing with. They had a way of helping me feel like it wasn't as big of a deal as it felt like in the moment. I have really appreciated her integrity through a process that has already been hard. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to work through the processes as painless as possible. Right after the hearing we were right onto the next phase.

Kristy has been amazing through our 5 years of being her clients, she has helped us through 2 custody evaluations, has always given us amazing advice, has had ours and our children best interests at heart. She is straight forward, honest and most of all realistic on things that we have asked, tel...ling us that its not worth you spending your money to do this. One time in mediation as we were waiting she asked if she could work on another case and didn't charge us for the time! She could have not said anything and worked on the other case and charged both of us! She is honest and loyal in her dealings with clients. She let us know when she went on vacation when we had something active in our case and replied to emails that were pressing. I would highly recommend Kristy she is a great attorney she has always fought for the things that are important to us. Kristy has been such a big part of our lives and I appreciate her so much, I now find myself knitting her scarves for Christmas. I hope that one day my attorney battles will end, even if it is when my kids are 18, but I will always have a great respect for Kristy and what she has helped our family with.

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!
