Confident and to the point.

George and his team have been skilled, knowledgeable and efficient. They continue to put together a strong case and I am confident that they will see it through to the end. All outcomes so far have been positive and I am confident it will continue in that trajectory.

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.

My experience with George Hansen Attorney was great.

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 understa...nd. 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

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.
