Review George Hansen

Professionalism at its finest

Most family law attorneys do not understand business and financial issues, especially tax consequences. Mr. Hansen's office was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Domestic relations is a contentious field that attracts many inexperienced and emotional attorneys; Mr. Hansen was always able to remain cool as a cucumber and treated all parties with dignity and respect. I could not more highly recommend this entire office. Literally blows away the competition.

I generally feel that attorneys are a necessary evil. However, with regard to Mr. Hansen and paralegal Nikki Taylor, "necessary evil" does not apply. I like them! They are a breath of fresh air... Professional, yet personable. Incredibly timely, yet complete and accurate. Creative thinking that definitely falls outside the typical family law box. Honest assessment of scenarios and expected outcomes. I never felt I had to portray my ex in the worse possible light to make my point. I was never asked or encouraged to spew crap in my declarations (if you have any family law experience, declarations can be a most hellish thing). Consistent communication, always. I retained them last fall and they recently withdrew. Overall they were retained for a little under a year. My opinion of the office has not changed since I first met with Mr. Hansen and Nikki. I highly recommend Hansen Law and I cannot thank them enough.

George was able to get my legal matter resolved in weeks.. I had been working with another attorney on this same issue for over a year...I got frustrated and was referred to George. George was firm and aggressive when I needed and listened to my concerns and explained issues the way I could understand. He also was available to me when I needed him. When I first called for a appointment he was booked out a few weeks, after I explained the urgency of my matter he made time for me at the end of his day. I definitely would recommend George to my friends and family. Jody

Our professional relationship started out a little rough because of a minor mistake that was made but it was made up in full. I have been made to feel like my issues are just as important as the highest paying client. Mr. Hansen and his staff have been very attentive to my needs and the issues regarding my child. Responses are quick and efficient. I would highly recommend this office to anyone.

George Hansen's response: Thank you for the review and 5 star "excellent" rating. I spoke to my staff and we are not aware of the "rough" start you alluded to, and I do not recall any "mistake". I do remember winning the case. Congratulations on your victory in court and best of luck to you as you move forward in your new career.

Upon retaining Mr. Hansen for my matters; his staff was extremely personable and caring, I was actually able to see and speak to my counsel as needed and above all, it was quick and painless. My issues and feelings towards my cases were listened to and dealt with professionally. I received the modification I had hoped for and my criminal matter was Dismissed with Prejudice! I would highly recommend Mr. Hansen for your legal issues.

George basically took my case pro-bono and did an excellent, and very thorough job. I never could've gotten the great results he attained had I represented myself.

Helped us out a very devastating time in our life!

He first off put our fears at rest. He took care of our matter quickly, and efficiently. He has kept in contact along the way. He is very flexible with payment and has worked with me when I needed to adjust my monthly installment.

George has been my attorney for almost a year now with several different cases; one a law suit and the other family court. He and his staff have always been more then helpful, treat you with the upmost respect, lets you know the ins and outs of your case and does not sugar coat anything. He fights for what is right and is out for the best interest of his client/s. He and his office staff always respond in a timely fashion and keeps you posted on dates, times and any documents that are need and/or wanted. I couldn't and wouldn't think about going anywhere else. I am very thankful for everything him and his office staff has done and continues to do for my family and I. I would recommend him to everyone that wants not just a good attorney but an attorney that fights with integrity, morals and what's right as opposed to playing the dirty card as we see all the time.

Michelle Hull, Child custody Attorney on May 31, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

If you are looking for a straightforward kind of lawyer; one that won't just tell you want to hear, call George. He is compassionate and understanding. He seems to understand the "Bigger" picture in analyzing future situations and really knows how to think outside the box to solve problems that may arise. I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly

Asher Weinberg, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 10, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

George represented a family friend in her nasty divorce, since I do not do family law. I have heard nothing but praise from her about George's conduct and skills. I would highly recommend him to any other friend or family member who is going through a divorce or child custody battle.
