Dishonest untrustworthy criminal

This law firm is Dishonest & not trustworthy. George Hansen took my $5500 retainer and produced no filed paperwork. I had provided the statement needed to begin case but he couldnt cut & paste a simple statement or have personal rewrite he started playingback in forth contact games to rack of costs ...mailing letters. He blaimed nothing being done on lack of staff & he couldnt find emails or paperwork in his personal mail box. I fired him a week & half after nothing was filed and no paperwork in my time sensitive case. He has NOW kept my money Over 4 months & Provided no billing OR COSTS. He stated in termination mailed letter he did 2 hours of work on oddsey looking over my case and I would be refunded. He also threatened me to never come in his office again or he would file harassment charge against me in this letter? He kept my retainer for 4 months now racking up interest interest costs on my CC payment and lied about hours performed to my CC company when I contested the fraudulent charge. Then last week George pulled some shady dishonest sh*t & sent my current Lawyer half My retainer back with a check instead of refunding my CC. He did this to creat more cost and debt on my behalf with no billing attached. I have not excepted his half price check offer. George refuses to give me any billing statement his office staff is rude and hangs up if I call asking for any information statement billing. I am now forced to contact the Board report him and file a civil suit against George Hansen to get my retainer refunded. I do not recommend George Hansen he dishonest and takes advantage of good people to pad his pockets.

Hey Richard, or is it Loren? The only statement you made that we want to spend time disputing is the statement that you fired Mr. Hansen (while acknowledging that your received a termination letter). We do appreciate it that another attorney was willing to accept you as a client soon after we parted ways.

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.

Child Support Modification & Criminal Matter

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 modif...ication I had hoped for and my criminal matter was Dismissed with Prejudice! I would highly recommend Mr. Hansen for your legal issues.

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.
