If youre looking for an excellent attorney for a family law case, I highly recommend Katie and her staff--especially if you feel like you're the UNDERDOG! Finding a good Child Custody Attorney to help you successfully navigate Family court is very, very difficult. I am a single, African/American male and I had an unusually complicated child custody case. Bottom line, family court can be very scary and unpredictable. Two and half years ago, I met with Katie to see what my best options were to win my daughter's child custody case. Katie spent about an hour really listening to me explain my legal situation, answering my questions and offering advice on how we should move forward. Katie was honest, telling me the truth about my case--the good and the bad. Katie prepared me for a potentially hard and long battle. During this meeting, I knew Katie had my best interest in her heart! After meeting with Katie and thinking about it overnight, I knew I had found the best possible attorney to represent me through these difficult times. So the next day, I retained Katie as my attorney and that night, went home feeling a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Throughout the entire case, Katie was patience and had a good strategy to win my case. Katie and her team were very thorough and detailed oriented. She updated me every step of the way, responding to my emails right away and addressing my concerns clearly and compassionately. Because of Katie and the rest of the team I was able to win my Child Custody Case of my 11-year-old daughter! My daughter and I are forever indebted to Katie and her team. Their caring for my daughter's best interest and for me as a person, as well as a client, was always evident throughout the entire process! I want to thank my Attorney Katie and her team (Shelby) for representing me during one of the most stressful and frustrating times for my daughter and me. I highly recommend Katie and her practice! They will take the best care of you and do everything in their power to make sure your case outcome is as successful as possible!

I needed a Will done. Rosy was fabulous, she took the time to explain everything to me. We worked together during the Covid-19 time, so she was really accommodating at handling mostly everything through email and phone calls. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an easy to work with attorney!

I used the family lawyer, Katie Naset and her assistant Shelby Burns, from Hope Law Firm out of the West, Des Moines location. They specialize in Family cases including, difficult custody battles.Overall I was very pleased with my case. Lets be honest divorces and custody battles arent exactly something everyone has a good attitude about, especially when you think you are dealing with uncooperative parties. The first time I met with Katie, she was very upfront and honest about my situation which is exactly what anybody should be looking for from a lawyer. She laid out a realistic plan and goal and told me what to expect. She gave me the pointers and advice I needed to get her the information and documentation needed to help her as I pleaded my case. Lawyers cannot be expected to make a case out of nothing and Katie was very upfront about what was worth documenting and important. Katie was always two steps ahead of our other opponent, knowing exactly what we needed to do. She was always on time to every meeting, court held event, mediation, phone meetings, you name it. I cannot say the same about our opponent, but not once did she let it interfere with the way she proceeded with my case, full well knowing we may be sitting, waiting on someone else. She was the utmost professional, and very classy which is another important factor I thought, the way she carried herself in and out of the courtroom. I was intimidated by our opponent at first, with the things she would say, the grape vine of info everyone gets when going through a divorce/custody battle, the snide remarks I would hear from my ex-husband, his friends and family. Katie will crush anybodys poker face, and arrogant attitude, she will shut it down and it is the most amazing feeling, imagine you are sitting in the chair next to someone who is doing what they are doing just for bad intentions, or to hurt you, imagine you get to look over and think well dont you feel stupid now. If you want that feeling, which everyone does she is the representation you will need. I will however say, sometimes I would question her tactics and the timing but, in the end, she knew exactly what she was doing. She explained everything. She answered every single one of my insecurities about this case, with realistic ideas of the outcome, never steered me in the wrong direction. She never got irritated by the million times I would call or email with negativity or have a bad attitude. Sometimes I felt like I was letting loose on Katie and Shelby and they always came back with a positive attitude; they never got aggravated or became short. Not once did it ever take more than 12 hours to respond, if Katie was tied up in a case Shelby was right there. They are literally the perfect team for a case to work in your favor. I felt as this team truly cared about my sons future and what was in the best interest of my family. I Would highly recommend using them. I will however be using them again if needed. I have referred people asking for a good lawyer as I have nothing but good things to say about Katie & Shelby at Hope.

I hired Amanda Adams on three different ocassions and she delivered excellent results. Amanda was extremely knowledgeable about the law and most importantly she always gave me options and which option was in my best interest. I really can't say enough about her qualifications and her trustworthiness. Need an attorney? Call Hope Law Firm and ask for Attorney Adams. You won't regret it.

Stephen Flattery

I was pleased with Hope Law Firm and Katie's candor and knowledge. She was easy to work with and I felt like I could trust her experience when talking about certain aspects of situations throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Katie to defend you in the divorce process.

David Field

Thanks to Shannon and everybody at Hope Law Firm for doing such an amazing job. Had a question about the pay out and they were quick to rectify it. Would recommend them to anyone.

Melissa

Amanda Adams has been my attorney for over 10 years. Her skill and expertise has helped me navigate the legal challenges that have come up. She is my 'go to'.

Wayne Cooper

David hope cost our.family not only $43,333. Our father used david hope to write his will. Because of david, when our.father passed away we was not able to fulfill our fathers wishes. When i asked him about our fathers will, he.said,' i don't have time to listen to you whine while i have paying customers in the lobby'.

Brittney Gutenson

Put your mind at ease and hire this firm. Extremely knowledgeable and caring.

Becky Grimes

We are so thankful for Hope Law Firm. Steve and Karen were extremely helpful in our difficult time. We would recommend Hope Law Firm to everyone!! Becky G

Jessica Van Dyke

Can't say enough good things about Hope Law Firm-especially Andrew and Steve. HLF handled my divorce and kept me in the loop of what was going on throughout my divorce. Also responded to any of my questions quickly and I never felt uncomfortable about emailing or asking questions. Highly recommend!

I was on my motorcycle, hit by a car that ran a red light. I gave the officer at the scene my 3 witnesses names and phone numbers. I wondered why other agencies weren't calling me back for a visit. Turns out, the officer took the defendant's version of the story for the police report and did not include my witnesses. Shannon at Hope Law Firm met with me anyway. She listened to me, asked questions for understanding, and took my witnesses names and phone numbers (I took a picture of the list at the scene before I handed it to the officer). As a result, she won my claim, made thousands for the law firm, and thousands for me as well. I could not have done that on my own, and I consider myself a fairly accomplished individual. Throughout the process, she explained well, listened well, and always returned my calls or emails. Very professional, thorough, and I'd highly recommend!!

Kent Farver

I hired Katie Naset based on a friend's referral for a divorce case with child custody and child support issues. The support and counsel she provided was outstanding. She was head and shoulders above the opposing counsel and I relied on her heavily during this process. I would recommend her to anyone. I am fortunate she was referred to me.

Sarah Berner

Extremely driven, intelligent, and motivated to do what is right! Travis, Shannon, and Andrew believed in us from the beginning and sometimes Hope is what you really need to stay strong enough to face your given circumstances. Top notch team of attorneys!

james cortese

DO NOT HIRE!!!! Steve Neve told me a price...I paid him that price...he then sent and additional $6k bill for absolutely nothing!!!Completely worthless rip off artist!!!

Cassie Walrod

Hope Law firm was amazingly helpful during difficult decisions and hard times. Specifically, Katie Naset and her paralegal Shelby were there to go above and beyond to help with my child custody case. They were understanding, timely, professional and kind. They made sure I had all my options available and helped make the best decisions for me as possible. Thank you again Katie and Shelby!

Dalton Price

The hope law firm team helped me out through the whole process of an accident. From start to finish I had no stress in having to deal with anything. Very professional people and their knowledge is phenomenal.

Neila Henson

I hired Katie Naset as my divorce attorney because of her superior reviews but also because of the recommendation of one of her colleagues whose opinion I completely trust. Even though my divorce was uncontested, Katies expert guidance made the process very smooth. At my first consultation she thoroughly explained every step of the process and going forward she and Shelby, her paralegal, provided support and explained the completion of each required document in a timely manner. Katie also answered all emails promptly within the same day and even when she was on a short vacation. Katie is a very professional and skilled attorney and I highly recommend her.

brandon kettler

They oversold me on their capabilities and desire to help me. They blew through my retainer very quickly and failed to get even basic modifications completed on my case. Their rates are extremely high and their ability to justify those rates in non existent. The night before my first hearing Steve Neve said he couldnt make it because something came up and a lesser attorney was provided who failed to get child support modified. It was a very basic modification that she couldnt get done. When asked about what would happen next there wasnt much explanation provided and now I am stuck paying excessive amounts of child support and have no recourse. I could hear the entire explanation before the judge and she let the other attorney control the narrative and stumbled her way through it. Completely unprepared, incapable and unprofessional. That is their company culture. They are not good at what they do. It would be one thing if they actually succeeded, but they dont. They are concerned with making as much money as they can without delivering on their promises. I will never use Hope Law Firm ever again and I urge caution for those who are considering them.

CHOOSE KATIE NASET!! I wanted to be very picky and choose a top-of-the-line lawyer for the start of my divorce process and protection order; especially because I have a baby in the mix. My husband was abusive physically and emotionally. Thus, I was looking for sharp expertise, someone who I felt personally cared about me (rather than treating me like just another case/number), and a lawyer that, if needed, would go the extra mile to make sure my end goal came to pass. Katie Naset fulfilled ALL of these requirements plus some! She also answered every single one of my million questions that I had for her. Considering this was my first time dealing with anything on the legal level, I didn't understand anything, but Katie educated me to the point where I understood everything each step of the way, and felt very competent and confident in my position/case with her! I knew she would protect me and fight above and beyond for me. She has so much knowledge and experience with domestic violence, and more. I could read people pretty well and from the start, she showed she truly and genuinely cared about me, my situation, my baby, and our case as if it was the only one she had. I loved her so much that I felt like I was leaving a close friend after everything was said and done. BTW, I was granted everything I hoped for with my case and custody.

Rebecca Fuller

I worked with Katie Naset from Hope. I was engaged in a particularly nasty divorce, and was hoping to maintain the majority of custody for my children, as I didn't feel their father was an adequate figure. Katie helped me through the whole process, was very personable, able to explain everything, also able to predict and negotiate potential outcomes. While we ended up going to court, and winning, she was very professional and made me proud to have her represent me. I would recommend her to anyone.

Mike Hardy

Katie Naset and her team worked very diligently in our case to get the job done. She worked and communicated very well throughout the entire process. Even after the case was settled we had a bit more contact and she was just as helpful and knowledgeable about what to do moving forward. She definitely knows her stuff and I recommend her to each person that asks about who to contact for a custody case!

wayne cooper

Warning Warning Warning Warning. David Hope only cares about getting your money. He was my father's lawyer for a 'Will'. David is no good. When my father passed away a short time ago, I had to give over $43,000 to an underserved individual. When I contacted David, his exact words, 'I don't have time to listen to you when while I have paying customers in the lobby'. Do not use David Hope.

THEY DELIVERED WHAT THEY THOUGHT I WOULD GET. I DO THINK COMMUNICATION COULD BE BETTER BUT HONESTLY THEY GOT RESULTS.

Jeffrey Daniel

Great people who get things done.

Katie Sedars

Katie Naset is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or custody situation because her knowledge of the court system put my mind at ease. She helped me win each court battle I was in, including the appellate court. Im very grateful to have found Katie, and Im confident she would helped each client with the same grace, poise, and knowledge that she represented me with.

Mootie Tootie

Ive had difficulties seeing my kids. My ex wife has weaponized my time with the children because shes bitter about our divorce years ago. I came to Hope Law Firm looking for help. They certainly know how to put in a show Ill say that. But the attorney I had was lazy, unprofessional, and quite frankly, unable to do basic things. Ive since moved on but I wanted to leave a warning to all who would think about using their services. They will burn through your retainer, not deliver results and then demand more money. For what exactly I dont know but they try to act like reading and email and responding is a huge effort. They also tried billing for excess time on the phone. In short, its all about money for them and not their clients needs. They only look at people as outlets for money, they do not provide even marginal support. Be warned.

Nicholas Griffith

Had a bad experience but Charlotte is A+

Sam Hill

I used Hope Law Firm based on a friends recommendation, and was lucky enough to have Katie Naset represent me in my divorce. She was very professional, explained the steps in the process, and was quick to respond to emails or requests to meet face-to-face. Going through a difficult process is never easy, but Katie was full of advice on how to proceed. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone going through a divorce.

Jared Fulk

Shannon was great to work with. I had many questions and sent tons of emails and she always responded in a timely manner with the exact information I needed. 10/10 would recommend.

Nicole netti

Our attorney took our $3500 retainer and moved a divorce decree from KS to Iowa. Then he couldnt be bothered to show up for court on a date that had been scheduled for months and after that he fired us as his clients for not maintaining $1,000 in our trust account when we asked if we could pay monthly because he blew through our retainer. Every other attorney Ive talked to says that Hope law firm is known for this kind of stunt and that it shouldnt have cost us $3500 to get a divorce decree moved. Do not use Hope law firm. They are a scam.

Toodles Ramos

Where to start. They are literally the most unprofessional lot Ive seen. They are almost con men to be honest. Their rates are extremely high and they cannot deliver. They deceived us in the beginning about what they could do and they failed miserably. The attorney in question couldnt be bothered to even show up for a basic hearing. He literally emailed me the night before at 9:00 and said something came up. What an unprofessional muppet. Then the lackey they sent crashed and burned and basically shrugged her shoulders regarding her failure. It was literally a sight to see. They take your money and then bail when they fail. Hence the conmen reference. I would recommend going elsewhere for the services as you will be out a significant amount of money and their ability to deliver is minimal to nothing. In short, Hope Law Firm sucks.

Whitney Ford

Starting a custody case and living through the stress and worry about how things will end up was the worst thing I have ever dealt with. Thankfully, Katie and Shelby were always there when I had questions. They were quick to respond to everything and very reassuring throughout the entire process. I couldn't have asked for a better team and I appreciate them so much.

Jessica HallClay

My divorce included a house, a kid, a few debts, and a possible 'battle'... I did my research for lawyers around Des Monies and chose Katie because of the great reviews. She was a great lawyer and did a WONDERFUL job! She was on-top of the process from start to finish. She made the process seem easy and painless. She has a lot of confidence and VERY good at her job! I would highly recommend Katie!

Samii Naset

Katie Naset was a blessing for me. My situation was little complicated and would leave me speechless at times and unsure of what to say or do but she always helped me figure myself out and worked in my best interest and helped me to get my divorce and custody of my son as quickly and smoothly as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Kristina Hickcox

Hope law firm is outstanding! I have worked with them for a little over a year now. Always friendly, respectful, inviting, clean atmosphere. The location is perfect and hours are flexible with my schedule. Hope law firm is a fehnominal group and I would recommend to anyone! Every cent is worth their time!!Danni Harris is who I have worked with for some time now! I cant say enough amazing things about this lady!! Shes such a blessing and will fight in you corner until she can no longer which is never!! She is open, honest, and phenomenal at what she does inside and outside a courtroom. She deserves a giant medal for what she does! I cant say enough good about Danni but she is the lady you want in your corner in any situation!!

Maria L Young

Very professional law firm. Shannon Henson who represented me as my attorney did an amazing job. She is honest and upfront as well as communicated well via phone and email. I highly recommend her and Hope Law Firm.

Maku Paku

Worst law firm in the DSM area as possibly in the United States. Steve is an imbecile and shouldnt be allowed to practice law. Theyll take your money and blow through it and then tell you they cant represent you anymore when you cant hand over another penny. Do not recommend.

Pamela Hutchins

I can't thank Hope Law Firm enough for helping me get through the toughest time in my life. I worked with Katie Nash and Shelby and I'm grateful for all there support. I was married for 32 years and never seen divorce coming until I couldn't see myself going back home. They understood my emotions and my feelings which made it easier to sit down and talk about everything. Finally after 1 year divorce is final and things can only get better thank you so much for being a friend and a great lawyer. I wish you and your team of lawyers the best. Thank you sincerely Pamela Hutchins

haley killen

Shannon and Kellie did an awsome job!!!!

Lucas Mcmahon

They promised I be in court in three months instead waiting many months later with owing allot more money

Kelsey Thornton

I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte at The Hope Law Firm through my custody case. Charlotte is a knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who guided me through the process. Not only was I impressed with Charlottes intuition, but also the loving care of the entire law firm. Her dedication and sincere interest in my case made the situation less stressful. I highly recommend Charlotte, or The Hope Law Firms services.

Abbey Scheckter

I hired Katie to represent me at a child support hearing since I live 1000 miles away. Katie was exceptionally knowledgeable, reassuring, professional, and has terrific follow through. I've spoken to many attorneys in the 8 years since I've been divorced, but none have treated me with the compassion and empathy Katie has for her clients. It's clear that she wants the best outcome for the family involved because she cares, not because it's just a job to her. After I hired Katie I completely relaxed, because I felt that confident in her abilities. I was right; she was well prepared and strongly advocated for my daughter, and achieved exactly the results I had hoped for. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough.

David G

Attorney Danni Harris was excellent. Great at cross referencing evidence. Without question, a tough courtroom attorney that put opposition on their heals. Savvy, determined, fought for us. My family was very pleased. I will save you the trouble. LOOK NO FURTHER. Paralegal was professional, available, and informative. Tough circumstances, great experience.

sego tori

Hope law firm is a JOKE. They held onto my case until the last two weeks of statues of limitation to do anything. And STILL didn't settle my case told me they couldn't do anything and sent me on my way. They contacted me two times in a 1.5 year period of taking my case on. Once too take on my case and the other to tell me they couldn't do anything.

Sally Black

I can recommend this firm and specifically Jennifer Russell. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and supportive as we navigated my case. Things were always filed or performed in a prompt manner and my questions were always answered. I felt that a resolution to my case was just as important to Jennifer as it was to me, and I really appreciated being able to trust her like that. The office staff was professional and helpful as well!

Lindsey

Katie Naset did a great job representing me during my divorce and matters thereafter. Her response time to my emails and phone calls was remarkable. She was easy to talk to and seemed to understand my concerns. Katie was very knowledgeable of the laws and procedures. One major thing that I appreciated about Katie was that she was upfront and honest; she didn't try to give me 'false hope'. Shelby, her assistant, was also extremely helpful and was excellent at gathering valuable information. Only drawback is rates are relatively high at Hope Law Firm. Overall, I would definitely recommend Katie for your family law matters.

Tanya Schmell

Danni Harris has been a wonderful attorney that is very informed about state laws and needed contacts. She has provide me and my family with amazing service. I would and have recommended Danni to family and friends. I would always go to her first for any legal issues.

Randy Wilkerson

Danni Harris is hands down one of the most trustworthy and genuine individuals you will ever meet. Rest assured that you are in good hands and that she is going to do everything in her power to take the best care of your case. I always know that she has my best interests at heart. It's rare that an attorney possesses such great attributes in the sense that she is easy to talk to and when she says she is going to get something done, she does it. She is extremely hardworking, detail oriented and passionate about the services she provides. I highly recommend her services.

Carol Neils

Danni handled my divorce. We ended up in court. I was terrified of the idea of going to court. Danni and I met and talked about the items we thought it was important to bring up. After the first day in court we reviewed what had been said. She was so confident and professional in the court room that it helped me feel more confident and much less intimidated. When she wrote our proposal for the judge it was very professionally written. She also has a personal side as well and definitely cares about her clients as people.
