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.

Professional, personable, honest, timely

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 de...finitely 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.

Excellent

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 regard...ing my child. Responses are quick and efficient. I would highly recommend this office to anyone.

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.

Fights with Integrity, Truth and Moral; Always for the Best Interest of his client/s

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 fo...r 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.

George Hansen did an amazing job for me. I was always well informed and he was straight forward with me at all times. I recommend him to anyone with legal or family court issues.
