I cannot recommend Josh and his team highly enough…read more In 2022, I was searching for a divorce attorney and consulted with several attorneys before I was referred to Josh. During our very first conversation, he asked me a question that no one else had asked: "Did something happen?" That simple question changed the course of my life. At the time, I was trying to figure out how to safely leave my marriage and protect my children. While other attorneys focused primarily on the divorce itself, Josh immediately recognized that my safety and my children's safety needed to be addressed first. He was the one who suggested pursuing a restraining order and explained my options. Looking back, that conversation completely changed the direction of my case. Unfortunately, I could not afford to hire him right away and ended up hiring two less expensive attorneys. There were also periods where I found myself trying to navigate the legal system on my own. Throughout that time, Josh continued to show genuine concern for my case. More than once, he told me he wished he had my case because he believed he could help. About a year later, I was finally able to hire Josh right before my restraining order trial. Because he had already been following my case, he stepped in fully prepared and immediately took a tremendous amount of stress off my shoulders. Josh and his team handled the legal paperwork, court filings, and procedural requirements that had previously felt overwhelming, allowing me to focus on my children and my case. Josh successfully helped me obtain a three-year restraining order, permanent full custody of my children, supervised visitation orders, restoration of my maiden name, settlement agreements, and assistance with spousal support matters. He consistently worked to move my case forward despite delays and lack of cooperation from my ex-husband. I also appreciated the support of the entire firm. During one hearing, Josh brought a colleague who took the time to explain what was happening and help calm my nerves. Every interaction I have had with his staff has been positive. They are always kind, responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. What impressed me most was not only Josh's legal skill but his compassion. As a single mother facing financial hardship, he significantly reduced what I owed and allowed me to make affordable monthly payments. He has always treated me with patience, respect, and understanding. Josh didn't just handle my legal case--he helped restore stability during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am incredibly grateful for everything he and his team have done for my family, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled attorney who genuinely cares about his clients.

Not only did she explain things in a direct way, she was very attentive to detail which was important to me. When something like a big, emotional, and life altering transition consumes you, it's essential to have the support of a team who knows the ins and outs of the process. My settlement was reached after consistent efforts to mediate in a fair way and with strategy when dealing with my ex who attempted to cause confusion and delay at every juncture. Her wisdom, patience, experience and professionalism paid off in the courtroom as we worked through the issues with evidentiary hearings time after time. In the end she ensured that I was able to reach every single one of my goals. She reviewed her motions with me ahead of time and was open to feedback, took the time to clarify material facts to get everything exactly right, and counseled me on the essential merits of the case so I did not lose focus or come across unclear. She kept things on track and did not waist time nor money. Together we handled spousal support, child support, retirement, division of assets, and domestic violence that resulted in a restraining order. It was evident early on that Katie is well respected in her field. My ex went through several attorneys and because it went on for so long, a little over two years, (no fault to Katie) we presented before several different Judges who all respected her. I always felt prepared. She and her team are organized, efficient, and outstanding listeners which resulted in efficient progress and ultimately success. Most importantly, my children are safe and are now thriving. Because she protected my home and my retirement, I have a future where I can start to hope, dream and live again. I would without hesitation, highly recommend Anderson Family Law. Thanks to Katie and her team, I have my life back. I could not have done it without her help.

My review is based on the experience I had with Ms. Andersons representation of me to get a…read morereduction in alimony. We filed our motion in May of 2020 and finally got a court date in November 2021, this was due to Covid, not Ms. Anderson. Prior to this court date we had a mediation in October 2021 in an effort to avoid trial. The result was my ex wifes offer to reduce alimony approximately 40% but Ms. Anderson was firm it should be more like 65%. On this advise I chose to go to trial. At this point I felt she was doing a good job, the trial is where she failed. Due to the courts post Covid schedule we ended up needing three separate court dates. I felt the opposing attorney made these appear seamless and this is where I become concerned of Ms. Anderson. Before all three court dates I contacted her office to see when I would meet with her to prepare for trial, each time Ms. Anderson seemed to think a brief phone consultation was sufficient. Due to this lack of preparation much of the important documentation was not presented to the judge, leaving him I'll informed to make his verdict. The most crucial mistake was the substantiation of a trust that validated $36,000 in overhead to my business. The judge asked me on the stand if this trust was registered and when I responded we have a notarized copy the opposing attorney demanded to see it, so we looked to Ms. Anderson to tell us where it was in the court binder. As Ms. Anderson scrambled to find it she basically had the deer in the headlight look on her face being unable to locate it (this document had been emailed to her before our first court date in November and was discussed in our phone conversations ). There was volumes of financial and character information I spent hours researching at Ms Andersons request and during trial when on multiple occasions I prompted her to bring it up, she would respond that the judge doesn't care about this even though the opposing attorney spent several hours on similar issues about me. I'm not sure what happed with Ms. Anderson from November 2021 to March 2022 ( the period of our three court appearances) but I felt like she lost focus on my case resulting in a financially catastrophic outcome for me. The judge ending up ruling that I have No change in alimony, that I pay my ex wife's $30,000 in attorney fees, all the arrears alimony I couldn't afford to pay.This on top of the $30,000 I paid Ms Anderson and $10,000 to her recommended forensic accountant. All these expenses were paid through what little I have left in my retirement account. Needless to say, stay away.

I've also found valuable the general webinars where I'd heard Laura speak prior to engaging her help. Laura also helped with how to frame alternatives I was presenting.

Working with Lass Law was one of the best decisions I made during what could have been an…read moreincredibly stressful time. From the very first consultation, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my well-being and outcome. A special shoutout to Brooke, their Director of Operations and Certified Divorce Coach, who is absolutely exceptional. She kept everything running smoothly, was always warm and responsive, and made me feel welcome and cared for every step of the way. It's clear she takes real pride in making sure clients have the best possible experience. Mekyla, Sarah, and Beth each brought their own expertise and care to the process, and it showed at every turn. They took the time to truly understand my situation and explained every step in plain language. I never felt confused or left in the dark. They were thorough, communicative, and always kept my long-term goals at the forefront. What truly sets Lass Law apart is that even Amy, as the owner and lead attorney, was personally involved and always there when it mattered most. It says a lot about the culture she has built that she remains so hands-on and accessible to her clients, rather than simply delegating everything to her team. The combination of legal expertise, warmth, and dedication across the entire team made all the difference. I walked away feeling heard, supported, and exceptionally well-represented. I would highly recommend Lass Law to anyone navigating family law matters. From Brooke keeping everything on track to Mekyla, Sarah, Beth, and Amy leading with skill and compassion, this is a team that truly cares.
