I knew the attorney I would select would not guarantee a specific outcome, however, I was hoping they'd commit in making a difficult legal matter as painless as possible. Kristine on my first meeting made me very comfortable in her handling my case. Regularly checked in and explained every step of the way. I felt confident in her knowledge of the subject matter. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with K. Zajac

While every divorce and custody case seems to be uniquely challenging, ours presented many issues. We needed a lot done, quickly and I didn’t have much money to spend. I desperately wanted custody of my child, that being the only priority, and felt I was in way over my head with my ex’s Lawyer proving to be extremely difficult to work with. We contacted many attorneys who needed monumental retainers, which we couldn’t provide. These attorneys just didn’t seem to care, or understand what we were looking for. I felt pressure to pursue more custody than I wanted, and focus more on the financial aspect of the divorce, rather than custody of my child. We found Kristine Zajac and from the first email, I felt relieved. She was available to meet for a consultation quickly and we hired her firm at the first meeting. Through our time together Kristine and her team were extremely transparent with funds. They knew we were spending everything we had, and couldn’t spend more. Kristine personally worked so hard to get everything done that we needed, and even sent us a little money back of the retainer that she didn’t use. We saw detailed documentation, whenever we asked, of how and where our money was being spent. She advocated well for my complicated medical needs with the judge, and protected me from the stress of dealing with my ex’s attorney. Kristine Zajac is fast, efficient, trustworthy and who you want in your corner when you need it most. If I ever need anything in the future, there is no one else I would call. Thank you Kristine for all of your help for our family.

I am so glad that I was able to work with Kristine during my divorce proceedings. Though the situation was quite contentious when she came on, she was kind, compassionate, and very patient with me. She was incredibly professional and made sure that I was well-represented and achieved the outcome I deserved. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and Ryan!

I have had Kristine as my attorney twice now and I am very happy to have done so. I had a very good experience with Kristine. She responded to all my questions and concerns honestly and very quickly. She was always available at all times of the day and always kept me updated about everything that was happening. I am glad to have chosen Kristine, I always felt comfortable with the situation. She was able to make everything in my case fair for me and was realistic and open about what could and could not happen, I am very happy with how the specifics turned out.

Kristine was incredibly helpful in a custody issue I was dealing with last fall. She was always extremely quick to respond to my questions, as well as honest and thorough in her communication. Her associate that helped with the case was equally professional and invested in our case. I truly appreciate all of their help.

I got blindsided with a matter regarding child custody and found myself in a seemingly uphill battle. I was very emotional and reached out to Kristine and her colleague Ryan for help. They were able to see things in the case I glossed over or paid no mind, and call upon precedents to aid me in my efforts. They took the time to get the full story, piece together my response, and help me achieve my goal. Though no result is guaranteed with any attorney, I'm very happy that I retained her as MY attorney. As I've already told you Kristine, I can't thank you enough. Cheers 12/16/22 Had a second bout with the previous issue over the course of 2022. It was a lot longer and a lot tougher this time. Ultimately, we got the result I wanted and I'm content. Thanks again!

She’s a very good and responsive lawyer. She is quick to respond. Definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a good lawyer. She is professional and well spoken. She helped me out with my protection order against my wife. I am very happy with the service I received.

Kristine handled my divorce with compassion knowing how difficult it is. Explaining everything in layman's terms. She really cares about her Client/Lawyer relationship. Extremely responsive, competent, and knowledgable. I would recommend her to anyone needing an excellent divorce lawyer! :)

I worked with Larry Schaefer and Lauren D'Cruz. They enthusiastically took up my case. They showed creativity, good judgment and deep knowledge of the law in formulating the theory of the case. They also struck a fine balance between zealous advocacy and risk management. They were very responsive and provided timely status updates throughout our engagement. They took genuine interest in me as a person. I would recommend Schaefer Halleen to my family and friends without reservation.

Christopher Keyser is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Minneapolis! He strives to get the best possible outcome for his clients and is very personable while doing so. He truly values each individual client and is quick to respond. Definitely would recommend!

From the beginning all the way to the end, they worked with me and my son and were able to get more than I ever expected.
