  Terrible. Will not help a survivor of domestic violence simply because of how long the other party has had her child. Does not matter that until she left SHE was primary caregiver. Does not matter she was forced to leave her child because of the abuse. Nope. He's had the child since she left , so suddenly he's the primary caregiver, so they'd help an abuser should he ask but not a survivor!!

  Mimi Hasslebalch was connected to me for family law legal advice. She was unorganized, unhelpful, and extremely unprofessional. After yelling "I'm not here to argue with you ma'am" as I'm trying to ask for guidance, she proceeded to study (not read) a statute out loud. She flat out told me family law wasn't even her practice. Staffing issues or no staffing issues, there is no excuse for being rude to a survivor of domestic abuse trying to protect their special needs child from an abusive partner. Survivors of domestic abuse are a joke to the state of Minnesota.

  Beware before donating. They use time and resources to represent people with false allegations. Helping them to then waste taxpayer money in the legal system without verifying the honesty of these people. I think DOGE needs to take a look at the waste of funding. *** Update: "Low-income" clients pull up in a Cadillac SUV, SMLS Attorney Karen McLaughlin looks away. Waste of funding. ***** Update: The fact you respond to reviews in the manner you do speaks volumes on your professionalism. Your poor reviews come from your own clients as well. Only disgruntled about funding being used on lies. Perfectly happy with the settlement, one where you got nothing you wanted in it and I got everything I wanted. Not sure I would classify that as successfully advocating. I will now be making complaints about SMLS higher up.
