I worked with Kari for my divorce I had 2 lawyers who couldn't get the job done . Kari was recommended by my last lawyer and I have one regret that I didn't go to her 1st . She did a fantastic job, excellent communication and went over and beyond my expectations. Kari promised to get my kids back and she delivered. I would highly recommend Kari there is not enough stars to show my appreciation for Kari and her law firm they can and will get the job done.
Kari was a Huge Success for me in my divorce after I fired my first attorney Kari is sharp as a tack and very thorough , doesn't waste anytime She knocked my divorce out fast without spending a bunch of money dragging it on . I'm a construction guy and carry a lunch bucket everyday , Kari guided me all the way through my divorce informing me about everything with her assistant Aimee Rice I'm telling you , what a team these people are !! I was more then Happy with my out come ! I would very highly recommend Kari for divorce services , she made it easy for me
Kari was incredible. Super competent, responsive, organized, and available for consultation. Our situation was different in that we had to secure legal counsel being at a disadvantage out of state. We interviewed multiple Firms and Kari was, by far, the "best of the best". She managed our Family Law case and was in control of the entire process. Oh, and by the way, we Kari won the case for us.
No one ever plans to get divorced and no one can ever be ready for what it unveils. That is why you need the best representation. Kristy Mara and her associates are the best at what they do. It is way beyond knowing the exact protocol along with the latest laws that impact those proceedings – it’s their ability to walk the fine line between emotions and business. I was constantly dazzled by Kristy’s ability to coach on how to balance what both my head and heart needed to give to the divorce. She was able to honor emotions but not let them lead to unproductive communications or results.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me and my children.
…I appreciate your perseverance…to get this divorce settled in a fair and equitable way.
I initially hired a junior attorney at a different firm. That person was slow to respond to my case and I wasn't confident in the legal advice he was giving me. I made the decision to switch lawyers and hire Kristy at Honsa Mara Landry. It was a night and day difference. Kristy is a pro and she answered all my questions swiftly and confidently. She knows the system well and gave me advice that I believe was in the best interest for me. Because of her ethics and knowledge, I highly recommend Kristy as an attorney.
I appreciate your hard work, integrity and willingness to go the extra mile for me.
…your patience and understanding [kept] me focused on the real issues…
You’ve been very compassionate during some of the darkest, bleakest moments of my life and have helped me see that there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel.
My choice to retain you as my counsel was easy after we met for the first time; I have to admit my trepidation when this whole thing started but your easy manner and knowledge made the choice easy for me.
Thanks to you, I am ready to start my new life.

I HIGHLY recommend Anne Honsa, she is hands down the best. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She covered topics in my final decree that I hadn't even considered. This has saved me time and money, and alleviated the need for additional mediation or court time down the road. Her rate is high but she is worth every penny.
