As quality of a lawyer and group as one could ask for. Highly recommend to anyone needing help of any sort. Pays attention to your needs and puts in the work to make sense of everything you ask for. Came through for me pure and simple, in custody hearings and everything else leading up to it. Very responsive at all times and took the time necessary to listen...

In working with Hanauer Law Offices, I not only received good legal advice but was very impressed with the staff’s professionalism and just “niceness.” Also, thank you, Rob, for quickly resolving the situation with my disabled sister, who had false charges against her.
