At first, Hannah did a consultation to review divorce papers and thoroughly went over the divorce and custody process. I was going to represent myself in what was supposed to be a simple divorce. As soon as Hannah and I had our consultation, I knew I wanted her to represent me and I’m SO thankful that she did. It was a long and emotional process, but Hannah was excellent and there to answer any question I had along the way. Hannah is a very dedicated, compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer who always made sure I understood what was going on and was always a step ahead! Danielle, her paralegal, was also very nice, prompt with emails, and knowledge! I’m so glad I had these two ladies through the divorce process and would recommend them to anyone in need of a divorce/ family lawyer!

Hannah Kingrey is an exceptional attorney with the highest level of professionalism. I couldn't sleep until I met Hannah. I was going through a very complicated , nasty divorce with DCFS and GAL investigation. I almost lost the custody of my baby but Hannah fought for us and the result was way beyond my expectation. She is very responsive, always called me back and the most important thing, Hannah was feeling my pain. She was an emotional support. She had the words to calm me down in the difficult moment .Hannah is not only an excellent lawyer ,she is very compassionate lawyer . she got my back like her own sister. It was a blessing to have Hannah represent my baby and I. I highly recommend Hannah 500% she is the best of the best. Hannah, words can not express what you did for us . My Lord will always fight for you the way you fought for us. Thank you for always being there for us. May the Almighty God continue to bless you and family forever.

Hannah represented me in my divorce. My case was more complicated than it appeared on paper, but she did not display frustration. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who also understands the personal aspect of family law, balancing professionalism while showing she understood the emotional toll the process was taking on me. I was treated like an individual, not just another client. Hannah (and Danielle, her paralegal), were very responsive to all communication, both phone calls and emails. I was given several options of how to proceed along the way and Hannah was patient and listened to my needs. She provided excellent and realistic advice – not just telling me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. A huge piece which alleviated some of the stress of this difficult process was the very fair, transparent retainer agreement. There were no surprise bills, which gave me time to make a well thought-out decision and not feel rushed. I do not know how I would have made it through this whole process without having Hannah as my attorney. Thank You Hannah!

I came across the website for Blacha Law while searching for a divorce lawyer. Google searching a divorce lawyer instead of using recommendations from friends/colleagues was risky, but after reading the reviews, I made the appointment to meet with Hannah. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to move forward with Blacha Law. Hannah was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, sincere, and very responsive to emails and phone calls. She was always one step ahead of everything and made one of the most difficult times in my life as painless as possible. I will forever be grateful for how wonderful she was. I have recommended Hannah and her team to 3 other people and I will continue to do so for anyone else in need of an amazing divorce

5 stars I hired Hannah McKinney from the Blacha Law firm.After firing my former Attorney I found Hannah and wished I had her from day 1!!! She is very knowledgeable, and fair and corrected wording on my divorce decree that helped me, while my former Attorney was just all about the money and I was getting nowhere with him!!! Hannah cared, and if I had her from the beginning she would have gotten me more than I was getting!!! If anyone is going through a divorce look no further and go with the Blacha Law firm, you will NOT be disappointed!!!! Very competent and friendly staff!!! Thank You Hannah and Blacha Law firm, Nikki Caputo

Meeting Hannah for the first time lifted a huge weight off my shoulder. She made me feel safe and welcome when listening to the issues that I was dealing with. She is very compassionate, patient and caring. She guided me through my divorce process and made sure I got the best of what I need. She even answered my emails over the weekend. I am very grateful for her effort and dedication to my case. It has been a stressful journey, but Hannah got me though the divorce quickly. I would not have gotten this far without her knowledge and expertise to get this divorce processed in a matter of few months.

Hannah was amazing while dealing with my case in court . She immediately got me time with my daughter that was above all to me in this process. The ending results in my case exceeded my expectation and I would hire Hannah again in a heart beat . Best decision I have made this year was hiring Hannah and The Blacha Law Office to help me be the best dad I could be for my daughter . Thank you for everything .
