Good results and were able to settle things with ex' lawyer.“We are almost done with the divorce process and I am happy I went in and met Andrew back in February, per referral from my sister. Good results and were able to settle things with ex' lawyer. Payment plan helped. There are two offices so if you go to see him make sure you verify which office location he will be at the day of your appointments-only complaint is I would get confused with where to go-but may have been my fault. The main office is in WDM by Jordan Creek but sometimes he is in the Ankeny one. People there are friendly.”

She is great and everyone there. Would sometimes take 1-2 days for a response email so only reason I gave 4 out of 5 in response time- but it was fine.“Recently had Katie Naset handle a divorce and custody deal for me. Andrew first helped me and Katie jumped on and could not have been a better experience, for what I had to go through. I was referred to this firm by a work friend and glad they told me. They had my best interest in mind even when I tried to not care about certain things. Looking back now I am glad they made me stick to my guns. Had a mentally abusive ex who tried to run the show and Katie would not allow it. She is great and everyone there. Would sometimes take 1-2 days for a response email so only reason I gave 4 out of 5 in response time- but it was fine. Thanks !”

Steve was great working with me at the last minute on a prenup that was not finished and several mistakes were made on my now husband's lawyer's side.“Steve was great working with me at the last minute on a prenup that was not finished and several mistakes were made on my now husband's lawyer's side. We were due to be married in Las Vegas the very next week! He saw me ASAP went over the prenup made by my husband's lawyer and listened to what I wanted. He had the prenup fixed according to my wishes and sent over the very next day to my husband's lawyer and dealt with him directly, which took a lot of stress off my end. The prenup was fixed and all parties agreed and it was done within a few days. He was easy to get ahold of, even if he was in an active court session he made sure his secretary responded for him (he knew I was under a lot of stress and in a huge time constraint!) Hope Law Firm was a 5 star experience for me and I would recommend them to anyone!!”

Charlotte is a knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who guided me through the process.“I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte at The Hope Law Firm through my custody case.

Her dedication and sincere interest in my case made the situation less stressful. I highly recommend Charlotte, or The Hope Law Firm’s services.”
Katie was always two steps ahead of our other opponent, knowing exactly what we needed to do.“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. Let’s be honest divorces and custody battles aren’t 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 anybody’s 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 don’t 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 son’s 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.”
Katie and her team were able to quickly get answers to keep the process moving, which I appreciated. Katie is a bright, dedicated, compassionate, and knows her job.“Attorney Katie Naset made the difficult and confusing process of getting divorced much easier, less stressful, and understandable. She and her team were incredibly responsive to emails and calls with questions and walked me through each step carefully. I never felt like I was being rushed or that my questions were a waste of their time. When I hired Katie, I knew that I was getting an experienced divorce and family law attorney and that she and the entire team at Hope Law Firm had handled many complex cases so nothing came as a surprise. When an issue would come up and a fast response was needed, Katie and her team were able to quickly get answers to keep the process moving, which I appreciated. Katie is a bright, dedicated, compassionate, and knows her job. My experience working with Katie made a huge difference in the emotional process of divorce, and I'd recommend her to anyone.”

The office staff was professional and helpful as well!”
Katie gave me hope, and helped me trust again and to have faith in the legal system.“Katie Naset helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life. She kept open communication with me throughout the entire process of my divorce. It is a very hard time to go through, but she proved to me I could trust in her, and helped me through every step! I had a lawyer prior to hiring Katie, who stole from me, and lied to me. I had no trust in any lawyer at this point. Katie gave me hope, and helped me trust again and to have faith in the legal system. Katie has also given me further legal advise, even after the divorce was final. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks for everything you've done Katie!”

Jennifer was amazing to work with.“I just recently finished up a rather lengthy and difficult divorce that involves our young child. Jennifer was amazing to work with. I have never been through anything in the legal system before and she was very good at explaining everything and getting back to me in a timely manner.

Great results. Nice and helpful, really eased the process as much as could be possible in my divorce.“Great results. Nice and helpful, really eased the process as much as could be possible in my divorce. I highly recommend them. Jenny Russell was my attorney.”
I am forever grateful for her hard work and determination in bringing my daughter home to me.“I hired Katie from Hope Law Firm in DSM originally for what I thought would be a simple joint custody agreement. When my child's mother refused to agree, we had to push further. She started to keep my daughter from me, have her parents interfere with my time with her, and even demanded that she be allowed to "decide when and if" I am allowed to see my daughter at mediation. Throughout Mediation, Pretrial, and court itself, Katie was there for me every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to win custody rights for me. Any time the respondent caused an issue (IE: keeping the child when we had agreed I would have her, her parents removing the child from daycare without my permission, etc) Katie was just one call away. If she was busy at the time, she always called me back the same day. Her assistant Shelby was also a great help throughout the entire process. When the case went in front of the judge, Katie destroyed the respondent's case. She made the respondent's lawyer look like a fool. Their case was full of holes, and Katie made sure to highlight every single one to the judge. The respondent made the mistake of handing over her entire Facebook account in the Interrogatories, and Katie went through it with a fine tooth comb. She found messages to a friend of the respondents confiding in her that her boyfriend (a violent felon) was emotionally abusive to my daughter. It took a great deal of effort on Katie's part to find this information, and it proved invaluable at trial. Thanks to her hard work, I was awarded primary physical custody of my daughter. I must admit, when I first talked to the people at hope law-firm, I was a bit worried about the price. They are a little more expensive than some of the other Lawyers I had consulted. However, you get what you pay for. It was worth every penny to have my daughter safe and in my custody. I would highly recommend Katie Naset to anyone in a similar situation. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes a personal interest in her cases. I am forever grateful for her hard work and determination in bringing my daughter home to me.”
She was amazing through my very emotionally, draining divorce.“I can only say great things about Katie Naset! She was amazing through my very emotionally, draining divorce.

Charlotte took the time and had the patience to explain to me the legal terms and worked through the low points of the divorce.“Having to deal with a divorce is the scariest thing in the world, especially when there are children, assets, and debts involved. I did my research and asked for advice from my friends that have gone through the Big D. I hired Charlotte to represent me. My divorce was not your normal divorce, due to the ex that hired a lawyer; that I am not sure how this individual passed the bar or still has his license. Charlotte took the time and had the patience to explain to me the legal terms and worked through the low points of the divorce. She calmed my nerves. I have and will always recommend her to anybody that is going through a divorce due to she tells you the good, the bad and the ugly. She is honest and straightforward.”

She helped me win each court battle I was in, including the appellate court. I’m very grateful to have found Katie, and I’m confident she would help each client with the same grace, poise, and knowledge that she represented me with.”
Katie was simply AMAZING and helped us keep my son exactly where he should be.“We turned to Hope Law Firm when we were served Child Custody Modification papers. We were directed to Katie Naset as our Child Custody Modification Attorney. And we could not be more happy that we got her. We were served papers from the other parent wanting full custody, child support..the works. (from an original Joint Custody Decree) . They were convinced they were the better parent. Katie was simply AMAZING and helped us keep my son exactly where he should be. With both parents equally and in the same school district he had been in for 5+years since he began school. The other party was very demanding and assumed everything was going to go their way. Katie fought for us, knows child custody law and made sure my son stayed with me equally and I didn't just become "part time" / weekend parent like the other party so desperately wanted and was certain they were going to get. If this ever comes up again I without a doubt would hire Katie Naset as my attorney and would recommend ANYONE going through a child custody case or modification to do so. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 5 Stars IS NOT ENOUGH!”
The firm works with their clients on payment schedules, setting practical goals, and treating every client fairly!“Divorce is not an easy process. There’s uncertainty, fear, and many other overwhelming emotions. Katie and Shelby did an excellent job of taking care of my needs in a patient and respectful manner. The firm works with their clients on payment schedules, setting practical goals, and treating every client fairly! I would highly recommend!”
I highly recommend Katie Naset at the Hope Law Firm.“Although I can't say I ever "enjoyed" my three year experience with Hope Law Firm due to the fact we were dealing with my ex-husband, I must say that Katie Naset was great to work with and in fact I now consider her a friend. Katie was always responsive to phone calls and emails, and her assistant Shelby was ready to help when Katie wasn't available. Katie did her best to work within a broken judicial system to help me receive the property payments I was due according to my divorce decree, she represented me strongly and well when we had to go to court, and did her best to reassure me during emotional times. I highly recommend Katie Naset at the Hope Law Firm.”
