Highly recommended

I was nervous and unsure of what to expect when getting started in the process of child support and a parenting plan. The first lawyer I hired made many mistakes on my parenting plan and didn’t care to listen or answer any of my questions. I sought else where and meet Hannah. Hannah was wonderful. Sh...e answered all of my questions and explained every step of the process to me. She addressed all of my concerns and helped fix my botched parenting plan. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone going through any type of family and child custody cases.

Wholehearted recommendation

I hired Hannah to represent me in a modification of child support hearing. She was able to divert us to mediation, and help negotiate a much more favorable settlement than was originally proposed. I didn’t win every point, that’s not how mediation works. But it saved me a great deal of money in the l...ong run. (She essentially paid for herself by the second month of the agreement). Hannah was able to talk me “off the ledge” a couple of times and was very reassuring about the more outlandish demands being made. This is the only one I’ve ever needed an attorney. If I ever go back to family court my first call will be to Hannah. Last thought: Hannah seemed young to me but never gave me reason to doubt her experience. She also has considerable resources within her firm to draw on, and made it clear she would do so if needed. I don’t think it ever came to that.

A lawyer who truly cares for her clients

I had found the Law Offices of Sophia M Palmer through Avvo and contacted Sophia via email when I was served with divorce papers unexpectedly and discovered my ex had hired an attorney. Not wanting to go through the process uneven, I began researching lawyers. Sophia contacted me back and asked if I ...would be willing to meet with Hannah as a possible option in regards to my case. Being as I was just in the beginning stages of researching lawyers, I agreed and scheduled an appointment within a few days to meet with Hannah and discuss my case. Hannah was very open to discussion in regards to several different options in regards of how to handle the foreseeable future and offered advice on what she felt was fair and just on BOTH sides. I ended up hiring her same day. We were able to settle fairly quickly once we both retained attorneys and got the advice we sought. Hannah remained in constant communication with me and was very fairly priced and really had my best interest at heart. I felt like I wasn't just a dollar sign to her. I would highly recommend Hannah and the Law Offices of Sophia M Palmer to anyone who really needs someone to guide them through the process while understanding you are human and dealing with so many emotions that may or may not get in the way. They truly are a very well rounded law firm.

Professional, Kind, caring attorney

Hannah represented my ex husband for our divorce. I was a pro se. She was very professional and had some creative ideas. She gave insight where needed which allowed us to come to a final resolution in a timely manner. I felt that Hannah listened to both sides and helped each party see the value i...n certain areas of our parenting plan and situation. Hannah was a delight and pleasure to work with. Thank you Hannah for being kind, patient, and professional.

Honest and empathetic.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Mrs. Nicholson for a divorce and child custody case. Mrs. Nicholson was honest and upfront about what she felt I would and would not be awarded, but also gave me information on every option I had available. I am grateful for her assistance and honesty.
