Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was in an abusive relationship for years. I knew I had to get out. My therapist referred me to Ms. Hastings. She immediately calmed my anxieties about the process. Everything was a fight because of how abusive he is. His behavior caused more expense, but Andee did everything possible to minimize the costs. To this day I am grateful for her wisdom and guidance.She made me feel strong when I was weak because she is so strong. I am able not only to survive but thrive thanks to her expertise.
I hired Andee to handle my divorce case based on a referral by a close friend. She immediately made me feel comfortable and calm. She not only answered my questions and calmed my anxieties, but she is an excellent listener. I respected her direction and guidance. I always knew she had my back, and I always felt that she was genuinely concerned for the well-being of me and my children. She was very responsive to me throughout the process. I received a much better settlement than I anticipated.
I hired Andee Hastings for my modification case. I was unhappy with my first attorney. There were problems with my parenting plan, and it didn't protect me like it should have. I needed someone with skills and that I could trust to fix it. Andee fought for me from the first moment to the very last. We ended up reaching an agreement but it wasn't easy. She not only fixed the problems that were already there, but also obtained things for me that I had only hoped for.
Ms. Hastings mediated my divorce case. She did an excellent job. I have had several friends that went through terrible, bitter divorces and I didn't want that. My wife and I chose to mediate instead. My case was mostly straight forward, but there were some sticky areas. She helped us work through our problem areas and arguments and get an agreement much more quickly than I expected. She saved us so much money and time. If you need great mediator, call Andee.
I went through a terrible divorce, and horrible custody battle. I thought I was going to represent myself in order to save money, which would have been a huge mistake. Andee and her team not only kept me sane, but also helped me keep primary custody of my children. Were it not for their expert counsel, I know I would have made errors that would have cost me custody of my children. I know they had other cases and clients, but they always made me feel like my case was important. Highly recommend!
I contacted Andee about my divorce after having issues with my current attorney being slow and non-responsive. My divorce was moving so slow and I felt like things weren't forward at all after over a year in the process. I interviewed several attorneys and finally chose Andee. I really can't recommend Andee highly enough. She got my case back on track and moved it forward. She guided through mediation with expert precision. She was always very responsive to me on questions or issues that arose.
I hired Andee Hastings to fix problems in my settlement agreement. It was written very poorly and I had obligations for years beyond anything reasonable. I was recommended to her by a lawyer and friend that I trust, and she lived up to he recommendation. It was very difficult, both because of my ex-wife and the law was not on our side, which I knew going in. But she found a way and kept going until we fixed the problem. There were times I thought it wouldn't happen, but she didn't waver.
My husband left me after over 30 years of marriage. I was totally in love and devastated. I did not want a divorce. I found Ms. Hastings, and she immediately calmed me and helped me understand I would survive this. She helped me through this process in a way I can hardly describe. She was my lawyer and my champion. She knew what I needed and fought for me, and she got me what I needed for life. She was careful to keep my costs down everywhere she could and I am grateful for everything.
This is still hard for me to take about. I was terrified to go through a divorce. My husband was wealthy and I didn't feel like I could fight him. He made it clear that he would beat me into the ground. Ms. Hastings and Waggoner Hastings was recommended to me by a co-worker whose ex-husband was represented by their firm. He received primary custody of their children, and she recommended his lawyers instead of her own. The best thing I ever did was to hire the firm. Andee saved my life.
Andee is the best divorce attorney! My husband was a nightmare. She handled him and his issues without breaking a sweat so that I could relax. He made outrageous and unreasonable demands, and I was certain that the divorce would be drawn-out, complicated and extremely expensive. Andee sliced right through all of it with ease, and I received exactly what I was seeking and my divorce was over much more quickly than I ever could have imagined or hoped.
