AMAZING!

I can describe how thankful I am to have met Kari Hanratty and her team. Amazing. Simply put; amazing. I was desperate for help with an insanely difficult complicated custody case where the children were being hurt, and she was my life saver. She took my not o lot as a client, but under her wing. She... worked my case entirely pro bono, nights after hours, weekends. She was there for me through everything, and got my children safe. Kari and her law firm all pitched in as a team. They don’t just do this as a job. They truly care. Amazing. Thank you a million times. Thank you.

BEST LAWYER

Hanratty Law Group is by far one of the best Law Firms. My family would not be complete if it wasn't for Kari and her staff!  They go above and beyond to get the job done. They communicate very well. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who has a family law issue. Again, our family would not be co...mplete if it was not for this firm! They did an amazing job and are very affordable too!

Trustworthy and Detailed

Because of Kari's dedication and passion for the truth and genuine concern for children, my case that involves an abusive and manipulating ex, the truth has always prevailed. My children have remained safe and secure with me and without Kari and her amazing assistant KC, I am not confident my situat...ion would have turned out so favorably. Kari is very loyal and has worked throughout several years fighting for me and my children. I will forever be grateful for everything that she has done for me and for continually fighting for the best interest of my children.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

I was beyond stressed out and devastated in the middle of my lengthy Family Court case. I had already worked with two different attorneys and felt helpless before finding Kari. She stepped in and worked so hard to fight for me and my child. She ensured I was comfortable, informed, and secure every st...ep of the way. I felt safe with her, I trusted her, and she was by my side until the end. Kari genuinely cares for her client and for what is in their best interest. She is responsible for giving me back the hope I once lost and because of her we are able to live the life we deserve.

Kari Hanratty, a real hero!

I was referred to Kari for my divorce by another respected attorney on an emergency basis and I am so grateful! I feel comfortable saying I have enough experience in the legal world to be a fair judge of quality legal representation. My divorce was most unpleasant and I was under attack by not one ...but TWO of the opposing counsel. One was particularly vicious and took great pride in shamelessly seeing how classless and malicious he could be (even my ex ended up despising his own attorney!). But Kari (and the fabulous KC!) compassionately and sensibly guided me through the entire grueling process allowing me to emerge mentally, emotionally and financially intact :D I really cannot imagine a legal scenario in family law that Kari cannot handle with the best possible results the law allows. She's whip-smart, down-to-earth and puts the client's welfare far ahead of her 'fee schedule'. I never once felt like a cash cow. I was treated like a REAL person and I felt that she sincerely empathized with my situation without hesitation. I would send anyone I care about to Kari, post haste.
