Gerald Ivan Hannel

Ivan Hannel is by far the best attorney in the state. He is professional, organised and aggressive. He worked endlessly for me and my kids during a dark time in my divorce, where sensitive matters were needed to be handle. He put in countless hours to make sure we were prepared for trial. Watching h...im conduct my trial showed his years of experience at work and his dedication to law. His open communication gives a feeling of comfort to contact him at any time. He always reassured me when in doubt that everything would be ok. Ivan is more than an attorney to my family, he is family. We are blessed to know him. I highly recommend him for any legal matter you have. I have made him my permanent family attorney, and so should you. He has my absolute trust.

When I reached out to Ivan I was lost and needed help. I was in a serious situation regarding custody and child support. Ivan truly helped me through one of the roughest patches of my life. His attention to detail and professionalism is next to none. He was able to walk me through the process, explai...n the steps I needed to take, and represented me by explaining the truth of my situation in a way that I am forever grateful for. Without Ivan as my lawyer, I would have floundered in the sea of legal jargon. If you are in need of an honest, powerful, and organized layer, Ivan is it.

I hired Ivan Hannal for a defense of a civil litigation case, and he is now co-counsel for all my family's matters and he is one of the only two lawyers I would refer to friends and family.... Ivan has a no bs approach to law and will not build his clients into a false sense of security. He is an ...extremely talented lawyer and has the wisdom and confidence to do for you what he does for me and my family and friends. Not what your typical lawyer is, and I have met many lawyers...and would heartily recommend Ivan Hannel.

I began a relationship with Ivan and his partners very late in the divorce process. I had a complex litigation involving an attempted relocation with children. I represented myself up to the final trial stages and the relief I felt after hiring competent professionals was immense. They took the case ...out of my hands, left no stone un-turned nor detail overlooked. They responded PROMPTLY to my concerns and inquiries and have a team dynamic in place to ensure responsiveness to clients. That is unique among law firms in my experience and I was quite emotional by the end of my extensive litigation. They heard me out, allowed for me be over reactive and hyper emotional to perceived changes in the case and then they handled each situation with savvy and finesse. I couldn't recommend Ivan and his team higher, my only mistake in working with him is that I didn't do it sooner. If you are an over thinker like I am and suffer from analysis paralysis......then instead of MANY sleepless nights fretting over every possible contingency, hire a team that will exceed your expectations and be fair with their fees. Ivan is an expert in his craft.

Just 2 weeks ago I posted a question on AVVO asking for help with the correct way to file my pre-trial documents for a hearing that I was informed of with 2 weeks notice. This is how I came in contact with Ivan. I spoke with Ivan that same day of posting my question, and met with him in person the ...next day to discuss my complicated situation and my hearing which was quickly approaching. Ivan agreed to help me prepare and represent me. We had 3 days to prepare my pre-trial statement and file the exhibits within the courts specified deadlines. My hearing was regarding legal decision making, temporary suspension of parenting time and reimbursement of medical expenses and contempt. In less than 10 days Ivan prepared for a hearing that I had been fighting to have for 15 months. He was responsive (evenings, weekends), informative, and professional leading up to the hearing. The outcome of the hearing was 100% success. I am so thankful for his expertise with family law, his attention to detail, and understanding. He continues to represent me and has already started working on the next step with our next hearing in 6 weeks. Without hesitation I would refer and recommend Ivan.
