The Best at what she does
Desiree is honest, diligent and professional. She is an awesome communicator in the court room and her heart shows in all her cases. Family law is hard but Desiree is compassionate and strong. She stays focused on the end game and cares about her clients. she represented me in a third party custody t...

Top notch attorney
I would give her more than five stars if I was allowed. Desiree took a case that was all sorts of messed up thanks to my previous attorney, and fixed in three months what my previous attorney took two years to completely mess up. I now have reasonable child support payments based on my ACTUAL incom...

Impecable attorney
After trying to handle a child custody battle on my own and getting walked all over by my ex's attorney, I hired Desiree after she was highly recommended by other professionals. This was the best decision I could have made! I was told by everyone that it wasn't looking so good for me and that it wa...

Desiree Hosannah
Desiree is a "BULLDOG" a STRAIGHT SHOOTER! Lol and these are understatements! Honestly Desire is someone that I am more than happy and had the honor of allowing to represent me in my case. Before coming to Desiree I thought that I'd just be another statistic. "A child support paying father in the st...

If you hire her you will loose money and your case
What I find sad is that Desiree has to defend herself from her own clients! Why is that? If you are a good attorney than your record would speak for itself vs you, but records also speak for bad attorneys like in this case. If you are reading this think twice before hiring Desiree. She will throw in...
The allegations made here are untrue and are gross misstatements of fact. My office and staff take pride in handling cases effectively and efficiently, although specific results cannot be guaranteed. There are times in cases when there is a breakdown in communication for various reasons. It should be noted that anonymous complaints provide persons with questionable motives to make false complaints without any responsibility or accountability. To the extent that this person claims that any applicable RPC's were violated, I vigorously dispute such claims as well as any claims that my staff members are incompetent.
"I endorse Desiree Hosannah, she is well respected in the legal community, professional and a pleasure to work with. She and her staff care about their clients and obtaining the best outcome for them."
"Desiree Hosannah is a lawyer with impeccable integrity and a wealth of experience in family law and civil litigation. She represents her clients with vigor, comes well-prepared, and is well-respected in the legal community."
"Desiree is a fantastic attorney with a wealth of knowledge that would be extremely difficult to match. Desiree is a wonderful mentor, attorney, and colleague who is always straight forward and open minded. I endorse this lawyer."
"Desiree and I were on opposing sides of a contentious will contest wherein she represented an estate beneficiary with significant disabilities. Most lawyers would likely have passed on the representation due to the logistical challenges attendant to her client's needs, but Desiree compassionately and professionally advocated for her client, and obtained a good result following a complicated trial."
