Family Law disputes shouldn’t hold you back

You're a person, not a case number

Many people feel overwhelmed by the emotional and legal burdens of family law disputes like divorce, custody, and child support. The problem is, our legal system isn’t well designed for family law:

The system's tough to navigate

It can be overly complex and adversarial

It can feel cold & impersonal

It doesn’t adequately address emotional needs

Your situation is unique

It applies One-Size-Fits-All solutions that fail

Clear Communication. Clear Results.

Ms. Hankey and her staff are very professional and made great efforts with my case. They kept me informed throughout the process and followed through exactly as communicated. I’m very pleased with the successful outcome.

Jim Bell

The Hankey law firm is the perfect example of a great law firm. They are exceptional with all aspects of their business. Very informative, courteous, and professional. I would consider the firm to be the best in the area. If I was to ever need a law firm again I would not hesitate to use them again.

Jaimee Narducci

Very friendly, proactive, & helpful staff. Someone on the team was always available to answer my questions and put me at ease in a stressful situation. Things were resolved within less than 6 months and I feel comfortable that they did what they could to get me the best outcome while in a tight financial situation and hard time in my life. Very greatful for everyone who put in the work on my case & directed me in the right place!

Allison Davis

Mrs. Hankey and her staff are very professional and communicate very well. I was extremely pleased with this firm. She listened to all my concerns and explained everything to where i could understand them. She’s very to the point on how things could go and what to expect which is very appreciative so you know what you are walking in too. Definitely recommend using her, definitely in any custody cases!
