I hired Mr. Hanson and his firm to represent me in what should've been a cut and dry custody case. I had previously had 80%+ custody of my son, when his father moved back to the area and decided he now wanted 50/50 (i'm sure to avoid paying child support). I stressed to the courts that this was a challenge for my son (who was only a toddler) to go from living primarily with me to now being shuffled house-to-house every 3 days. Mr. Hanson assured me that he agreed this situation was not suitable, and that we could contest the mediator's recommendation in court. I guess what he meant by contest was that I could roll over and submit to the judge when it actually came time to go in front of the judge -because that's exactly what Mr. Hanson did. When the judge (who was new to the family law bench) stated that he was following the mediator's recommendation (the same mediator that has several grievances and complaints filed against him), Mr. Hanson didn't make a peep. Just asked that a "90 day review" of this arrangement be made. But as anyone in law will tell you - once a court makes a ruling, they hardly ever go back on it without damaging evidence. So here were are 6 months later, $6k later, and my ex has 50/50 of our son. And my son is now regressing in his behavior and can't understand why he's split between two homes all of a sudden. Thanks, Shaun. Meanwhile, while the 90 day trial period was underway, my ex submitted a declaration to the court accusing me of abuse, racism, and a bunch of other unreasonable things (he was grasping at straws,) and the paralegal from this office calls me to "discuss" them - I put discuss in quotations because what I really mean is that SHE continued to accuse ME, and took my ex's words as truth rather than asking me my side of the story. I was 39 weeks pregnant and she basically told me, "well you've lost the case now just so you know. we should just call opposing counsel now and agree to 50/50" I'm sorry - but who am I paying you to represent? I was hysterical and emotional and could not believe she approached me in that way. I was so shaken up because I knew what the truth was! And here she was taking my exhusbands side. While was paying her $200+ an hour to read the court documents. I show up to court only to find out that Mr. Hanson had had supposedly had some kind of motorcycle accident and wouldn't be there to represent me at the hearing that day - his partner, Mr. Bradford would. Mr Bradford showed up 90 minutes late and basically took advantage of my pregnant emotional state and told me not to go in front of the judge - to agree to the 50/50 arrangement and be done with it. I told him I would keep the current arrangement (which was technically I had 57% or something random,) if the schedule of the visits could be changed - instead of 3 days on 3 days off, could the schedule be one week on one week off. Mr Bradford said sure! No problem! Come to find out, this made the custodial timeshare an even 50/50 percentage, meaning I lost primary custodianship of my child. And now to enroll him in school next year, I will have to pay the courts (and another attorney) for a 730 custodial evaluation, which is upwards of $10k. The representation of this firm is horrific - they look at you as a number, an invoice, a payment - they don't take the time to get to know your case or your end goal. Their end goal is just getting paid. Period. I spoke two Mr. Hanson TWICE between October and May - once at our consult in October, once at the hearing in November - and never again. All of that for over $6k in work.

I hired Shaun Hanson for a Paternity case which had been ongoing for quite some time. After two other lawyers did not help to move my case in more than a year, Shaun accomplished more than my two previous attorneys in just a few months. I highly recommend this office. They were all very helpful and Shaun is a very Knowledgeable Attorney and definitely knows the Law. I was very impressed that every time I called the office, the phone was picked up within the first two rings. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

I was referred to Shaun Hanson by a friend who had gone through a nasty divorce. I had a similar situation and he did a fantastic job for me! He is very smart and it only takes you seying him do his thing at Court to know that he is fantastic. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If you have any doubts, see for your self.

Shaun Hanson and his staff are wonderful. They treated me great and Shaun was able to get my case settled when no one else could. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

I WAS TRYING TO HANDLE MY OWN DIVORCE AND SAW SHAUN IN COURT. I CALLED AND WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT THAT SAME DAY. I PAID A RETAINER, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS REFUNDABLE. MY CASE WAS DONE AFTER JUST ONE MORE COURT APPEARANCE AND I GOT $286.00 BACK FROM MY RETAINER. SHAUN IS AGGRESSIVE AND COMPETENT.

Shaun Hanson represented me in my divorce a few years ago and he is absolutely an amazing Attorney. In my oppinion, the BEST there is. He has always gotten me very good results. I had to use him on two other occasions since my divorce as my ex keeps taking me back to Court for custody and visitation. Shaun Hanson has been an awesome Attorney and I feel like my ex husband can take me back to Court as many times as he wants because my Attorney kicks butt!

His secretary claimed that he had an ear to my judge because he was pro-tem in her same courtroom. He boasted he will get me everyhting I wanted only to fizzle out and charge me outrageous fees. He forgot to hav me sign my deposition so I could not contest it and buried an offer to settle by one of his now gone attorneys. He does not like settling. Au contraire. The long it lasts the more money he can milk. Stay away form him (and unfortunately most divorce lawyers as they are truly scheisters and I though that was just an expression until I had to use him).
