Hanks & Peterson, P.C.

David Hanks and I worked together on a professional matter a couple years ago. He didn't represent me. He was professional throughout the process and easy to communicate with. I have very little experience working with attorneys. The limited interactions I have had usually consist of massive egos with them making sure you know you're speaking to the smartest person in the room. Based on that, I wasn't too sure what to expect from David. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was easy going, fair, didn't have a big ego, and he was committed to getting a positive outcome for his client.

Ruining futures with fake stalking charges. I created a podcast about it. A simple search & you’ll be able to hear it easy enough.

I can’t recommend Hanks & Peterson highly enough for the work they did to assist me in my divorce. Hiring a divorce attorney is never a fun task, but David Hanks was kind, professional, empathetic and helped me navigate a deeply painful and challenging situation. His perspective, counsel and assistance made an emotionally draining and energy sapping experience manageable and he advocated for me throughout the entire process. Dave is exceedingly fair and honest and gives you a pathway to help you move forward with peace and confidence into the next phase of life. From the consultation through the negotiation of the final settlement, Dave helped me feel at ease and that I had someone in my corner. I would recommend Hanks & Peterson, particularly David Hanks, to represent anyone beginning the painful process of a divorce. Taking steps forward is hard, but they will assist you and help you find the way up and the way through.

I scheduled a half day of mediation with Mindi Hansen to redo a parenting plan. Mediation wasn't as successful as I had hoped, but Mindi was wonderful and helped us agree on as much as we could. She was fair, unbiased, and gave helpful perspective to the things I was asking for. She was honest, and let us know when she felt like we weren't going to get any more resolution. I would highly recommend Mindi for meditation if you want someone who will be honest and fair, but also knows when to call it quits and not waste any more time.

If you want a lawyer that will be honest with you then this is the place to go. I was completely unfamiliar about anything to do with family law, custody agreements and divorces. I asked my friend for a good and trustworthy attorney and she was right to refer me to Hanks and Peterson, specifically David Hanks. David always gave me the truth. He explained things to me in full-context. For example, anything I thought about adding or taking away he let me know the full implications of such a decision and the ripple effects so I could be sure it was what I was intending. As far as quality, David was thorough and always double-checked on my decree whenever he answered my questions about it. I am so grateful that I was referred to this firm for help with my high-conflict divorce. I have anxiety and he was patient in letting me know he/I/we had done everything we could so he wasn't worried and I didn't need to be either. Mediation was extremely successful and I appreciated his insight throughout. He thankfully has seen many of these situations before and gave me excellent advise which I continue to heed. He is a trustworthy lawyer who knows the law and sticks to it.
