Nicole Hanson is the best! She's professional, knowledgable, kind & understanding. Communication with her was great, her communication with the other attorneys & court were prompt and efficient. Nicole was always available, listened, got back to me quickly and explained things in a way I could understand. She gave me different options, always encouraging me to make my own decision and do what was best for me. Nicole approached every unusual, surprising and difficult situation we encountered efficiently, professionally and with grace. I highly recommend choosing Nicole to represent you.

I hired Nicole Hanson for the collaborative divorce process. She is flexible on her level of involvement in each client's case and provides education to help them make the best decisions for themselves. Ms. Hanson is very professional, prompt, and offers competitive hourly rates. She maintains a good balance of having empathy and compassion while also pushing on her clients and telling them what is and is not reasonable to expect. It is important to her to make sure her clients understand everything fully, in addition to understanding future implications of current decisions on the parenting plans. She is firm with opposing counsel and will advocate her hardest for her clients on what is important to them. She also has the ability to read how the other side operates, and is able to present things to them in a way she believes will be most effective. Ms. Hanson is very creative in finding middle grounds so that her clients do not feel they are making sacrifices to what is most important to them.

Choosing Nicole Hanson to navigate the process of estate planning was the best choice I could make. She never tired of answering my questions, and I had many. She was patient, focused, and caring throughout the whole process. Nicole is an excellent listener, and has a fierce attention to details. I highly recommend Nicole Hanson.

Nicole represented me in my divorce proceedings. (We settled - did not go to trial.) Throughout the process, I never felt surprised by anything that arose. I felt well prepared. Nicole also consistently got her tasks done quickly, and before my ex's atty. She's been practicing family law for quite a while, and everything she predicted about our situation was accurate. Also, she was always well prepared and timely with our phone meetings (during the pandemic).

I have a unique situation in that I am a government employee who travels and lives internationally on government orders and am also a single parent. When my daughter's non-custodial parent became ambivalent about international travel for my daughter, Nicole assisted me in a short time frame to adjust my permanent custody orders to enable me to bring my daughter abroad. She was helpful, understanding, and very efficient at resolving the issue. I felt well taken care of and in capable hands. I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to assist with child custody issues.

Nicole was a great communicator and advocate. She was very professional and knowledgeable with my case. She was always there when I needed professional advice and support.

Nicole Hanson was a ray of hope at a time when my options seemed bleak and the likelihood of a satisfactory outcome against a “bulldog” opposing lawyer was nil. Nicole arrived on scene, to an already escalated dispute, with compassion, assertiveness and a moral compass this case had been missing. She regularly checked in on the effect this case had on my children and was my biggest cheerleader in beginning my new career. Nicole didn’t back down from frivolous threats from opposing counsel and was ready to defend what she knew needed to happen. I recommend Nicole Hanson as a Family Lawyer to anyone in need of a lawyer who is ethical, resilient and ready to fight for what is right within the guidelines of the law.

Nicole is very professional and I am beyond happy with her dedication and knowledge during my divorce process. Let's be honest, all divorces are hard but mine was a doozy involving abuse, drugs, property and toddler. She kept me calm during my moments of stress, returning every call/email all while making me feel as if I was her only client. She has experience with almost everything that was thrown at her during my time as her client. Now that I am part of the "divorcee club", I am starting to realize how detail oriented and awesome my lawyer was compared to others. My parenting plan-she thought of every detail. She gave me pros and cons for all situations and supported my decisions along the way. The other professionals she recommended during this process (mediator/child family investigator) were fantastic too. I could not recommend Nicole enough! She is beyond professional and detail oriented.

Nicole helped me increase my time with my son from around 30 days a year to over 100, while fairly dividing financial responsibilities between both parties. She was extremely diligent with the case and an excellent communicator to help me through the process of getting a parenting plan agreed on. Though I know I was not her only case at the time, it was difficult to tell because of her quick response time and her attentiveness to me and my case. Her great understanding of family law and her profesionalism made it easy for me to understand my rights and get to a parenting plan that got me the time with my son I deserved. Her legal strategy and knowledge is incomparable and I would highly recommend her for any family law representation needs.

After deciding I needed legal representation with a legal issue, I chose to discuss what was involved with Nicole Hanson. She clearly explained what was involved legally, asked my opinions concerning what I expected, and struck me as a person who would communicate well with me. Due to the complexity of what was involved, I decided I would benefit from her help. She was never too busy to talk with me and discuss both of our ideas. She was very personable, efficient, professional and competent.
