At my office - Carolyn E. Hansen, Esq. Attorney at Law & Mediator - you can rest assured that I am ready to do everything in my power to help you achieve a holistic and healing resolution that avoids litigation if at all possible.
Arbitration is a method of alternative dispute resolution that allows both parties to have their say and to discuss their differences in a non-courtroom setting under the supervision of a neutral third party, or "arbitrator." After hearing all of the information and receiving the opinions of both sides, the arbitrator then is able to rule on the issue.
I became a lawyer because the skills developed in law training have many applications and I wanted to have flexibility in developing my career. I also believed that understanding and being able to work with our legal system would allow me to accomplish whatever objectives I might set. Before law school I was fascinated with international studies, political science, and foreign cultures.

Stay as far away as possible. Lacks attention to details and has bad business practices. I signed an agreement for $950 for real estate closing services. She added $350 overages and itemized them as “word processing, printing, and copying services”. I asked for details of what was done and she never responded back to me. You’ve been warned!!!

I highly recommend Ms. Hansen. Since posting a review awhile back, I have hired Ms. Hansen to handle two more real estate transactions in addition to my three previous ones. I rely on her knowledge, attention to detail and efficiency. She is organized and aware of potential pitfalls. Just the things you want from a lawyer. She has protected my interests and then some. She can be counted on to do what a lawyer should do.

Carolyn Hansen handled the purchase of my house with experience and competence. She was aware of more pitfalls than I was (Oh, thank you!) and took steps to keep me from falling in. She handled negotiations with a trustee, and worked out the financial details to my benefit. I am entirely satisfied with her work, and will not hesitate to work with her again.

I learned of Ms. Hansen via an internet search for an attorney in our area. My sister, nearing death, wanted to create a Trust and ancillary estate planning documents. I contacted Ms. Hansen and made an appointment for her to come to our home where, after consulting with us, my sister and I together agreed to retain her. When she returned with the documents, it was clear that they were boiler plate/fill in the blanks legal forms, as another clients name appeared where my sister's name should have been printed. This necessitated crossing out and initialing the name changes. After my sister died
