Balean helped me with my divorce. She made everything very easy and stress free for me. I was very impressed with how responsive and professional they were. I am in the military and they were more professional than most military leaders that I’ve encountered. Would recommend Barnhart Family Law to my friends and family.

Balean and Kristy kept me sane during the hardest year of my life and I am forever grateful. I was too nervous to reach out to a divorce lawyer even though it was well past time, so a friend of mine who is a lawyer in another area talked me into it and recommended these two personally. I can't say enough good things so I'll try and break it down into the things that are/were important to me in a divorce. They are NOT pushy. I was so nervous the first call, I did not want to get a divorce. I even (politely) told them I hope we don't ever need to talk again. They were extremely supportive. Not one single time did either of them push me towards a divorce. They answered all my questions honestly and thoughtfully and I never felt rushed. On the flip side of that, they are also very cognizant that their time is expensive. So for me, it is very hard to find a lawyer who is constantly aware of running up your tab, but personable enough to trust them and not feel like just another check in the spreadsheet. On top of that, I have ADHD so I can get off on a tangent with the best of them. Both Kristy and Balean we're very good at redirecting me into the areas that mattered and pushing me though the areas that didn't without letting me get hung up on them. They are extremely prompt (during business hours, I cant speak to otherwise because I don't expect people to work 24/7), I don't think I ever waited a full day for a reply. You WILL feel like a priority. Which frankly with how being a lawyer works, is pretty remarkable. They know their stuff. I don't know a better way to put that. And if they don't know, they make it a priority to find out. I had a few odd snafus with property issues and a few (lets say less than reasonable) demands from my now ex, and if I had a question they tracked it down if they weren't already sure. They are generally fun and calming presences. Mediation went for a full day, so Balean was trapped in a room with me for probably 12 straight hours. And if you aren't aware (i certainly wasn't), mediation is very much hurry up and wait. When we had the mediator, it was 100% business. When she was in the other room, we walked through everything we needed to discuss, got advice, and then were able to relax and recharge a bit before the next turn. As you can imagine, its an emotional time. I went from needing to pace the hallways angry to bouncing off the walls bored to everything in between and not once did Balean get even slightly irritated with me. They are VERY aware that you're going though something and that while we need to be efficient there also needs to be room for you to be a person with feelings and needs. So if you don't read all of that, the important bits are they are going to make you a priority and you'll feel like it, they will not run up your bill for no reason and will be honest when they think something may do so, they give you grace to be going though something hard, while also getting you though it in a prompt and efficient and competent manner. I absolutely would not even consider another legal team if these guys are available. I can't speak highly enough of this firm.

I highly recommend Kristy Barnhart as Family Law counsel. She is professional, knowledgeable, communicative and understanding of her client needs. She assisted us with a complex case involving legitimation and child custody.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Kristy for quite some time, both on a personal basis and as a client. I can genuinely affirm that she epitomizes professionalism. When our family encountered a delicate situation, Kristy adeptly guided us through it. She approached the matter with a methodical strategy, staying ahead of the curve, and crucially, she had the ability to convey intricate details in a clear and accessible manner. I enthusiastically recommend Kristy Barnhart.

I would never recommend this firm all they did was take my money. There only interest is cases with big money for there own profit it’s a shame that this is what they call a law firm. They did absolutely nothing to justify 5k retainer I hate I gave them my money for absolutely nothing.

Compassionate and professional, the members of Barnhart Family Law helped me through my post-divorce issues like a dream. I can't endorse them enough!
