"Thank you for everything Deanna, and Andy, and I'm confident others, have done for our family. It has been a long journey . . . not yet over I am confident, but the flood seems to be receeding. Even so, there is little doubt in my mind that we, and you if you aren't ready to throw all of us all over the cliff, will be back, pushing and shoving to protect the children, trying to get the children's father to do "the right thing." Hopefully sufficient time will pass such that the children will now be able to grow and develop to the point, without more trauma and/or negative life interruptions, that they will be able to decide for themselves when and where they may chose to allow their father back into their lives.

"You and your firm were the right choice for our family. You've represented them most professionally and well, fought diligently on their behalf, and are most deserving of our heartfelt appreciation. You have demonstrated time and again that you really do know your stuff and listening to you, your advice, is the course that promises and in turn delivers the best possible outcome.

"Perhaps we will all get some rest now, you certainly deserve some . . . until the next round, whenever that may be." -M

 


 

"Stahancyk Kent and Hook came by recommendation, as I was looking for a strong father advocate during my divorce. Having interviewed numerous attorneys prior, it was obvious in my meeting with Deanna that she far and away was the best for the job.

"Extremely confident and knowledgeable, I received sound advice and a very equitable settlement in my divorce. I would say Deanna's understanding of the law is sound, even stronger perhaps is that she truly is an advocate for fathers. By setting expectations and not over promising (or worse, under promising), Deanna earned my respect, eased stress and made the process much easier on myself and my family. I consider Deanna and her staff to be top performers in the field and would recommend them without hesitation." -N.D.

 


 

"I have had the opportunity to work with Deanna through my divorce the past year. My husband and myself did not want to just dump money into the court system but, I found way too many hoops to go through and I felt I needed some protection. Deanna was able to continue providing services and advice at a moments notice and I am still working on the final steps of this process.
Deanna was helpful in many ways. She helped me with the vocabulary and the possible outcomes of my situation. She guided me on what needed to be in the judgement and she was very insightful to the reality I was faced with. She speaks from personal experience and she helped me in what could have been a very hard time. I could have been financially hit without the help of Deanna." - Anonymous

 


 

"Deanna provides her clients with a good balance of personal attention and professionalism. She is confident, and helped me feel confident during a horrible time in my life. She made herself available to me, in spite of her busy schedule. She made me feel like she genuinely cared about my and my family. I cannot say enough good things about Deanna. I would recommend her without hesitation. She also comes with a solid team to support her work – so even when she was in court someone else was there to take care of me." -K.Y.

 


 

"It is a sad difficult time to have to make the decision to file for divorce. I was experiencing fear and sleepless nights. Then I met Deanna, and I was comforted. She and her team spoke with me compassionately about the details of my situation with my divorce.
Deanna’s team has worked very hard behind the scenes taking care of much of the details. Her team has always been professional and caring.
Deanna has been there for me at all hours of all days. responding to communication at midnight and on weekends when I was feeling afraid and needed her assistance. She is always there for me. She is always professional, and she is so knowledgeable. Her tenacity and compassion has given me the comfort to be able to sleep well at night.
Divorce is painful, but Deanna and her team have been so comforting I highly recommend her and her firm." -Anonymous

 


 

"Thank you Deanna, for helping me through the mediation and everything that led up to it. At least now I know where I stand and can plan accordingly. Divorce is a really horrible thing to go through - it is a very lonely time. You made me feel as if you genuinely cared about me. I appreciate that. May God bless you with success in all aspects of your life. I wish you all the best." - K.

 


 

"Of course when you are seeking a lawyer and a law firm, generally it is not under great circumstances. Deanna and Andrew and Stahancyk, Kent & Hook could not have been better for what I needed. When I needed a list of what to do, they were there. When I needed a "it's going to be okay" speech, they were there. And, in the end, we got the results I needed. Professional and courteous all the way through. I cannot say thank you and recommend them enough. If there were more stars to give, I would give them." -A.

 


"Deanna Rusch was an amazing attorney and friend throughout my divorce process. She was professional, thoughtful and forthright in making sure we received the results desired. I have referred Deanna & Stahancyk, Kent & Hook to friends looking for legal counsel and I will continue to do so. Thank you Deanna!" -M

 


 

Thank you for all the work you have done for me. You’ve been great and kept me on track. I’m not usually such an emotional person so thanks for putting up with that. It’s a good feeling to have closure on this, for now. I can see why your peers elected you as the “rising star” and if anyone I know ever needs this kind of assistance, I will be sure to provide your name. -P.

 


 

"Deanna, is incredible! Anyone looking for advice that is true and accurate in the world of divorce should seek out her assistance. She told me from the get go what my outcome would be worst case scenario and best case. In reality, the best case came out. Thankfully due to her ability to defuse issues and knowledge of the true law. So many people think they know the law, when in reality they don't have a clue! Deanna knows her stuff, spend 10 minutes with her and you will realize this for yourself. Thank you Deanna, for making a seemingly impossible end come together smoothly and precisely as expected. You know I will be sending anyone that needs your services to you and will likely personally escort them to your office if necessary! -T.

 


 

"The best advice I ever got and the best money I ever spent. Deanna was excellent to work with and I can't thank them enough for all their efforts. I would recommend them to anyone that needs this kind of help." -S.E.

 


 

"I was needing child support/custody changes to my divorce degree. I was referred to Deanna Rusch from my cousin who is a paralegal at another law firm.
I highly recommend Deanna Rusch for all your legal needs.
She was wonderful from beginning to end. Fast, knowledgeable,professional. The whole process was over in less than 45 days!" -Anonymous

 


 

"I was hesistant to hire an attorney as it was my belief that my ex and I could work things out together. When that became quickly evident that it wasn’t going to work, I asked around. We even contacted my parents attorney down in Eugene. The only name they would recommned was Stahancyk, Kent, and Hook P.C. After review of my family’s needs, I was quickly matched up with Deanna Rusch. I couldn’t have been happier. She was as advocate for me when I was too emotionally drained to think clearly. She was easily accessible, promptly returning calls/emails, and teamed with me to seek the best outcome for myself and my children. I would Highly Recommend Deanna Rusch with Stahancyk, Kent, and Hook P.C. I will only use this firm’s services in the future." -K.B.J.

 


 

"Working with this firm, particularly Deanna was well worth it. Deanna is very responsive – something that is not a guarantee from what I have heard from friends. She is incredibly knowledgeable and will give you all of the information and her recommendation. But what is also refreshing is at the end of the day she realizes this is your divorce and your decsion on issues and topics.
Their staff is very thorough and timely. All of the paperwork and details are handled by them behind the scenes so you and Deanna can work on the important matters at hand.
My case was not easy by any means but becasuse of this firms knowledge and Deanna’s expertise was wrapped up and finished months before I expected it to be." -Anonymous

"I found Stahancyk, Kent & Hook through an Internet search - I called their office and they hooked me up with Deanna Rusch. I think the thing I appreciated most about Deanna was her desire to work for what was best for me. My case was ultimately settled out of court, through mediation, saving me a large amount of money. Deanna supported me through the whole process. She gave me clear, direct advice and promptly answered all my emails and calls. I'd recommend Deanna to any friend." -K.A.
