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...

originally review was anonymous but I feel compelled to let everyone know!
The reason I decided to write this is because YEARS later and I mean YEARS! I am still cleaning up a mess that started with horrible representation from Desiree. My case was in 2012 and some of the residue of the piss poor job by Desiree still effects me and unfortunately my baby girl. I fired Desire...
The comments in this review are false, do not reflect the standards of conduct and practice in my office AND it is very telling that the reviewer waited years later to file another review. The fact that this person is using this forum to identify and vilify a former spouse is also very telling. I am more than willing to address any concerns the reviewer may have and would be happy to speak with the reviewer personally - my number and address remain the same and they are welcome to contact me as soon as they are able to discuss this matter. The claims and comments here are not true - period.

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.

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...
"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."
