James Charles Husen

My hiring of Jim Husen to represent me when my divorce attorney became ill turned out to be a big mistake. When it came time to negotiate a settlement, Mr. Husen "negotiated" by telling me what was fair regarding a particular issue, then proposing that to opposing counsel, who would say, No we won't... agree to that. And he would say OK. The settlement document, which he wrote, was (according to other attorneys) poorly written. All I know is that when I fired him and hired another attorney, my new attorney had to clean up the mess, including filing a motion to address issues that were completely absent and unaddressed in the settlement. Even if these items are taken care of, the settlement was still very unfair to me, and I would NEVER recommend Mr. Husen to anyone.

I first met Mr. Husen 15 years ago when I went through my first divorce after a 14 year marriage with three children. That divorce was final after 6 months and 2 weeks. I was very pleased with Mr. Husen so I hired him again to represent me after a short 7 year, second marriage without children, in Oc...tober. I found Mr. Husen and his assistant to be very knowledgeable, professional, attentive and effective. We are both conscious about time and money so I write down any questions I have before I call and he answers them expertly. We set up phone conferences to save time and money on traveling. When I have gone to his office I was helped efficiently and quickly. All papers were copied and returned neatly. When Mr. Husen represented me at court, I had fantasies of what I thought would be accomplished that day. He gently explained what actually was GOING to happen and calmed my nerves. I resolved to sit quietly and talk as little as possible. In front of the judge Mr. Husen was composed and showed righteous anger without becoming rude, red faced or pissing off the judge. The Judge listened to Mr. Husen and I could tell he respected Mr. Husen's professionalism. My only concern was one time I called Mr. Husen regarding some papers I had delivered. He stated they were on the coach somewhere and that he would get to it that weekend. It had been several weeks since I had delivered the papers. But sure enough, Mr. Husen followed through and completed the task and filed all paperwork expected. Mr. Husen is a wonderful Christian, counselor, friend and attorney.
