Sunney Kohlhoss is a trusted legal advocate, who assist me through a contentious post-divorce decree. As a Father, Sunney brought a fresh perspective, and endless effort in assisted all parties achieve a productive solution. Sunney's professionalism, listening, thorough understanding of my family’s needs produced real results, in a legal system that is not always aligned with families best needs in mind. I have and will continue to recommend Sunney personally and her organization.
I came across Sunney through a friend's friend. His exact words were "You want the best, she is the best, plain and simple. She'll stop all that drama". Not only was this true, this turned out to be the best decision of my life. She was able to turn around the mess my 1st attorney made. I didn't know what an experienced lawyer looked like till I saw how Sunney operates. She's by the book, understanding, her and her legal team are always on top of it, and she is direct and gets to the real issues. Sunney was able to restore my relationship with my daughter with 50/50 parenting time. This is what I was asking from the beginning and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you once again Sunney. I highly recommend her services, super friendly legal team that cares about what they do and also cares about their clients.
I hired Sunney and her team to help me navigate my divorce, and so far she has been incredibly encouraging, smart, direct, and helpful. Initially I consulted with her, but quickly realized that I am able to freely discuss my concerns and receive feedback and advice to help make the best decision. I hired her and have been very happy with the guidance she's provided. I look forward to continue working with her and her team.
Sunney has been an amazing lawyer, friend and guide for me during the difficult divorce process. She has so much pas experience to give me great guidance on what to decide or how to move forward after certain mile markers during the process. Her and her office always keep me updated on whats going on, what to expect and I can't say enough how much I've appreciated their services, professionalism and guidance personally and professionally throughout my divorce and even after.
I found myself in a real bad situation with my ex not allowing me to see my daughter and after calling around and doing research I could not be happier with the service and professionalism I have received from Sunney and her team. I was even offered a special rate through my employee to use a different attorney but I went with my gut and chose Sunney and I am so glad I did!!!
I used Miss Kohlhoss for my divorce and her team and would recommend her services to anyone looking for a strong counselor in a high conflict case. She was professional and knowledgeable and was generous with her time and her billing.
I came to Sunney's office when she first started her firm. I was looking for a new attorney who will get things done in protecting my rights as a father and standing up for what I believed is best for my 2 children. After visiting with 6 pricey attorneys, I finally walked out of my meeting with Sunney confident that she will get things done the right away. See....Sunney doesn't just follow what I want. She also doesn't file motions or do work just for the heck of it. She is creative when it is needed and she pushes back when I'm not making sense. Most importantly, she is strategic and gets to the bottom of what the best possible outcome looks like and devises a plan for that. Sunney has never promised where she couldn't deliver and she keeps things real. She has become a trusted advisor, a dear friend and someone who walked with me through some terrible times. As if that isn't enough to make Sunney a good fit for what I needed, she personally understood the position that my kids are in through her own lens of experience and invested in getting the right judgments for me. Hiring an attorney is a very personal and difficult experience. Many questions arise: Will this attorney get the job done? Will they be honorable and practice with integrity? Will they buy into my story and needs? Are they worth the expense? Can I trust that they will do what is best for me? Do they even know what they are doing? These along with 30 other questions.... In my personal experience as a client of Sunney's in a long battle for my kids, the answers to the above are all positive. This is a highly personal choice. As a person who carries divorce battle scars, I would recommend you at least set up a consultation. Sunney will tell you what to expect and will do her level best to deliver it. Wishing you patience, peace and lots of luck in whatever battle you are dealing with!
I entered into my initial meeting with Sunney Kohlhoss feeling insecure, scared, depressed and completely confused on where to even begin. I was not married to my 2 year olds father but decided I could not marry him and raise my son in the toxic environment we had created in our relationship. We were not getting along and working out details with him regarding our son without a 3rd party was becoming all but impossible and sucking the life out of me. As a business owner and a mother, this was very unhealthy. After 1 brief hour Sunney completely turned that around for me and filled me with confidence in knowing that everything was going to be ok and that she had my 2 year old sons best interest in mind at all times! She so effortlessly walked me down the path of where we start, next steps and all the possible hurdles along the way, meanwhile reassuring me every step of the way that I was doing the right thing! I could not believe how quickly she fulfilled on her word. Her and her team handled every single process quickly, thoroughly and with unwavering grace. A true dream team. The end result? My sons father and I have a very detailed parenting agreement that leaves no place for arguments and protects both of our rights as parents to our beautiful son. We actually get along better and feel a sense of stability where there was no sign of previously. I feel comfort in knowing that when anything at all comes up that I need support with, Sunney and her team will be there in an instant! Do not look any further!
