"Christopher is a cut above due to his aggressiveness & willingness to do with such vigor what we asked and wanted."
"The first case that Christopher Hanson handled for us was a lawsuit that we wanted him to fight - we wanted to win and to have this plaintiff go away. We got exactly what we wanted and we were happy with that."
"I enjoy that Hanson is willing to teach me what I don't know. He is terribly patient with me. I don't know honestly if I would get that from other lawyers."
Beverly Kendall, EVP Operations & COO, RE/MAX Gold
"I hired Hanson for education purposes and for what we're doing right or wrong. It was great - it may have kept us out of trouble."
"They're pretty focused on what they do & don't do. From Chris you get a problem solving approach. As a broker, his perspective is better than someone who's only been a real estate lawyer and never worn the hat of broker."
"I have confidence in him - he's doing the right thing - competent in the technical aspects of his job and I can trust him."
"I love the mini law reviews and share them at my sales meetings - they're different and valuable."
Richard Knutson, Owner, Premier Apartment Advisors

"A good lawyer, like Chris, is someone who specializes and has a background in real estate; he understands more, in-depth, on the practical side."
Denise MaNgyen, Owner, Century 21 "I'm not going to work with any other attorney other than him. He allows you to do what you do best, which is to go out there and sell real estate. He really watches our back. He's proactive about it, and he doesn't sit back and wait for something to happen, he actually prevents it from happening."
"I've worked with many attorneys in the past. But, Chris Hanson, he's here to stay!"

John C Ingersoll Rand Corporation"I would refer people to Chris because he’s competent and sincere."
Lynn Worthington Manager Better Homes & Realty"He's so well rounded - your back is covered. If someone hired Hanson against me, I'd be up against a stone wall."
Pete Caponio, Owner Alameda Realty"Chris is a good litigant and has taken on almost impossible things...and resolved them."
Pete Caponio, Owner, Alameda Realty"Hanson is very good because he has special knowledge of the cases. I trust him... he has deep background in real estate as a broker/agent... he knows the business well."
Romeo Alvidera, President Home Funders Financial"I always thought legal problems happened to other people. Then, when selling our home, (we) found ourselves embroiled in a legal mess. Fortunately, we were able to rely on Hanson Law Firm to help us stand up for our rights. Throughout the ordeal, your firm was thorough, professional, and aggressive - exactly what we needed..."
Simon and Pauline Thaler Berkeley, CA"Hanson has exceptional knowledge, a good sense of humor, and is willing to admit when he's wrong (a big thing!). We had many go rounds during the DRE sessions and I respected his ability."
Vern Hansen, VP Risk Management Pacific Union
Recording of Proceeding
COURT: It was an adversarial position that he [Hanson] took...I wouldn't - probably wouldn't have done it. I probably never was as good a trial lawyer as he is. I know lots of good trial lawyers who do very aggressive things"
