Divorce Case
The Almighty God is my witness!!! I beg of you, please do not hire this lawyer!!! Let God be my Judge if I lied on this attorney.. She's a big fraud.. I see her comment trying to defend herself against people who are saying the truth about her.. I hired Desiree to help me with a divorce case.. Eve...
The content of this review shows level of instability present in the reviewer. The allegations made here are untrue and are gross misstatements of fact, including the assertion that this person was attacked and/or that there was a breach of any privilege - this is simply not true. 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.

Horrible Lawyer!!!
Thanks but no thanks. Support staff was incompetent and Mrs. Hosannah rarely communicated with me about my divorce. She took my retainer and left me high and dry. Don't hire, this attorney has in unethical and shady.
Comments made by unidentified individuals are highly suspect. The behavior alleged here is untrue. Our office strives to handle each case effectively and efficiently, although specific results cannot be guaranteed. At a minimum, if this person has a problem with any services that may have been rendered, then they are welcomed and encouraged to contact our office or another appropriate agency so that all parties have a fair opportunity to respond effectively to complaints.

An amazing Lawyer.
I hired her when I was going through a divorce and child custody for my 2 boys. She was very knowledgeable while explaining things to me, as well as patient with me when I didn't understand something. All of her hard work paid off because I am a male in a "woman's state" but I got custody and child s...

Respectful and Knowledgeble
My child's mother removed my son from our home and was on her way out of state. I was really stressed and needed help immediately - Desiree was there and immediately filed the needed papers and worked extremely hard. It was expensive but very much worth it even with lots of depositions. We had our he...

Do not hire!
When I first contacted Ms. Hosannah, I was facing a pretty significant issue and she seemed poised to help. Getting the contract signed and paid was something her staff moved along pretty quickly, but after that, I heard virtually nothing from Ms. Hosannah...and was forced to rely almost exclusivel...
Because I am prevented from discussing any of the specifics of this case, I can only say that these comments are not accurate in any way from my legal perspective. The behavior alleged here is untrue. Our office strives to handle each case effectively and efficiently, although specific results cannot be guaranteed. At a minimum, if this person has a problem with any services that may have been rendered, then they are welcomed and encouraged to contact our office or another appropriate agency so that all parties have a fair opportunity to respond effectively to complaints. In general, anonymous and factually unspecific complaints provide persons with questionable motives with the opportunity to make false complaints without any responsibility or accountability. To the extent that a claim is being made that any applicable RPC's were violated, I vigorously dispute such claims as well as any claims that my staff members handle cases unprofessionally.
"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."
