Hougen Law Offices

I would highly recommend Hogan Family Law Professional and to the point.

Very informative and I learned a lot in our meeting. Very professional, understanding and good listener.

In the very first email I got from her after an impromptu consultation. I was given two links and asked for a review. Even though nothing specific was really gotten into. She interrupted my every comment, and seemed to talk down to me. Then made some outlandish plans on how to take over my case. Offering to do things that I would never want done to my ex and my son. I ended up in her office while looking for my old parenting coordinator. She’s in his office now. A very quiet and very slow office. No phones ringing, no other employees. I walk in off the street by accident; tell her a little about my story; then all of the sudden was willing to give me a free consultation. Seemed weird, but, hey, I needed some technical questions answered, so I thought what the heck. She seemed interested in the beginning, but once I said I didn’t want to go for the jugular, and was wanting to pay child support, the air left the room; and she had other clients to see, and I was shuffled out the door. It all seemed very strange. But after I’ve read a few of these reviews below; I now makes perfect sense. My first impression was one of desperation, and a need for business. Yeah, I won’t be back. ????

I was not represented by Donna, however my husband was. He is in the military and our divorce was not typical. She took that poor military man for such a financial ride... to the tune of close to $13000, to settle a divorce that was amicable and agreed upon from the get go. The only reason I ended up finding my own representation was because she began threatening me and black mailing me with my children. The above review mentioned her lack of ability to keep "facts" straight... my case was exactly the same. She filed documents against me riddled with lies that I can prove through email correspondence with her that she knew were lies, just to further complicate the case and force us to go to trial so she could further line her wallet. It was truly disgraceful. She wears a cross and I'm assuming calls her self a Christian. But she is a liar and a thief. On the flip side, she's pretty entertaining to watch at work. Reminded me a lot of an episode of the Three Stooges. At the end of the day, we had gone full circle, with every detail of the separation my husband and I agreed on from the beginning as our divorce decree. It's just a damn shame she robbed that poor man overseas of so much money. My attorney cost me $1300. Donna cost him $13000. Disgusting. She also was in the process of dropping him as a client so she could steal every last penny from it because he was not accepting her unprofessionalism any longer. My family and I are in the process of healing and learning how to become the best coparents to our girls, despite her best efforts to destroy any remnant of friendship we had with each other. Please save yourself the money and heart ache of working with this woman. She’s a horrible attorney and a disgusting human being. Cindy B. 28 friends 1 review

Donna Hougen is an excellent attorney who prevailed in my two trials obtaining me a substantial award of spousal maintenance (8 years) and child support (5 years). The judge even awarded my attorney’s fees to be paid by my ex-husband. Her knowledge of the law and trial experience was the only reason I could start my life over with the awards the judge gave me. Donna can be tough yet compassionate and I appreciated that combination because it helped me stay focused on my case and as a witness in my own trial. I would highly recommend Donna.
