Kyle did a great job. He is smart and caring. He works hard until the job is done and he is honest. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

After having a consult with Gillian I knew I had found the person I wanted to have advocate on my behalf through my divorce. It's hard to pick a divorce attorney. There're just so many out there and trying to pick one that's right for you can be downright daunting. nnI believe I can read people fairly well and the first thing I noticed about her was the way she spoke. Not the words specifically but I could just tell that she was already thinking of a strategy to my divorce before I even retained her. I feel like I could just see her thinking ahead while also planning contingencies. She was basically laying out the groundwork to my divorce in her head before I even hired her. nnShe didn't try to sell herself to me. She gave me plenty of useful advice and talked briefly about her rates. To me, that spoke of confidence in herself. It wasn't arrogant at all; it was a belief in her abilities. She knows she's a fantastic lawyer and I liked about her. I know that it can be a preference but I could now see I wanted a lawyer that was looking at her next case rather than one that would tell me all about their past cases. I wanted a lawyer, not a salesperson. nnWhen it finally came time to work through the divorce my initial thought about her strategizing proved correct. Nothing seemed to catch her off guard or rattled her. She was always ready with a backup plan like it was the way she intended the original plan to go. Her planning seemed to be so beyond the other sides that it seemed like she almost wanted to start whispering in their ear what to do next just to try to make it a challenge for herself! nnI didn't want to "win" my divorce I wanted my kids to "win" if you can call it that. I just wanted a fair deal. She knew this and kept me focused on that even when the bitterness and vitriol that can happen only in a divorce came around. She was there for me. She advocated for me and in the end she got me a deal that was even more than I could've thought was possible at the beginning. nnHere is why you hire Gillian Blomquist:nShe is a strategizer nShe has a calming demeanornShe is completely judgment free of your flawsnShe has a deep understanding of how the process and system works.nShe is a lawyer that actually has compassion. nAnd maybe the most important reason to hire her is because my ex-wife hates her.

Kyle was the second attorney I hired to represent me and I'm so thankful that I found and had the sense to retain such a consummate professional.nHalfway through my divorce, I realized my original attorney was not representing me in the manner I expected and I needed a decent attorney fast.nI met with Kyle and retained him immediately. I could tell he understood my situation completely.nMy divorce involved a contested custody where my ex-wife had only recently reentered the workforce after being a stay and home Mom for over 5 years. My financial situation was also complex with significant premarital equity in the marital home, complicated further by an extensive renovation funded by premarital funds.nKyle helped me gain 50/50 custody and more of my premarital assets than I'd hoped to I'd retain. I think the agreement made with regards to child support and spousal maintenance was also fair.nThe thing I liked the most about Kyle is that aside from the fact that he knows the law, he knows many other attorneys, judges, SENE & FENE mediators. His knowledge of all the players involved in my case was impressive. He knew the Judge, his style and what to expect. He didn't know the SENE mediator, but he did say she will either want an informal back and forth Q&A or a mini-speech...so be prepared either way. He was right! He knew the FENE mediator and prepared me for that process. In short, he made me feel comfortable and prepared to enter each of these extremely stressful situations.nYou don't need a costly downtown lawyer to represent your best interests. My ex-wife spent twice as much on her big firm downtown attorney and Kyle still got the results!nRetain Kyle, you will not be disappointed!

Kyle handled my Divorce from start to finish. I appreciate his responsiveness and ability to be available as needed. All of my calls were either answered or returned in quick fashion. Kyle is intelligent, empathetic, and family oriented. Kyle has ample experience and I was fully confident in him from start to finish. He was as much a confidant as my counselor.nOn paper my case seemed very straight forward, and the lead-up didn't seem to require much strategy. However the spouse I divorced was extremely difficult and this in turn inflated the costs of my case beyond what I had expected. I think the state of mind of my ex-spouse was underestimated and I'm certain that my case would have flowed differently had mental health not been at play. That said, my only constructive criticism regarding Kyle's counsel is that I feel we could have done a better job negotiating with the rival defense. nI would definitely recommend Kyle ? he is a good man and has a firm understanding of law.

When I needed to find a family law divorce lawyer, a trusted coworker referred me to Kyle, and I was relieved to find that he had much knowledge and professional experience in handling cases similar to mine.nnKyle demonstrated a sincere interest in helping me with my case. He explained the pros and cons of various ideas I had, and answered my questions completely in terms that I could understand. He embraced and encouraged a mediation process, led me to an incredible mediator, and was there every step of the way during a process that would have been daunting without him. I felt protected, relieved and prepared because of the effort Kyle put towards drafting documentation before the mediation and after the mediation took place.nnKyle conducted himself in a professional, courteous, and intelligent manner in and out of the courtroom. During the court proceeding he articulated points and articles with excellent command, and demonstrated a thorough understanding of procedure and protocol.nnThe outcome was excellent for both parties, and in turn, ensured the best possible outcome for my daughter's happiness and future.nnI have come to trust Kyle explicitly, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing sound legal advice and representation.
