When I first contacted HKK Law Offices, I was facing what felt like one of the most difficult moments of my life. As a retiring military member, I finally had the opportunity to return home to Alaska after years of service—but I was facing the very real possibility that doing so could mean losing my son.
I had already left Wisconsin on active-duty orders with my son and 100% placement. As my retirement approached and I prepared to return home to Alaska, I found myself back in the Wisconsin courts, fighting to protect the life and family I had worked so hard to build.
I knew what was at stake. This wasn't simply a legal case to me. It was my son, my family, and my future.
HKK Law Offices never treated it like just another case.
Kyle and his team stood beside me through an incredibly difficult process, including navigating an oppositional GAL. They worked as hard on my case as I did—and that is something I will never forget.
What impressed me most was that I was never left wondering what came next. I wasn't simply told, “We can file a motion.” I was given thoughtful guidance about what needed to be addressed, what evidence mattered, how timing could affect the outcome, and what approach would give us the strongest position. I always understood not only what we were doing, but why we were doing it.
Even though I was living out of state, I never felt like I was fighting this battle alone.
The odds were not in my favor. I was already living in California and was asking the court to allow me to move even farther away—to Alaska. The GAL was heavily focused on Wisconsin as the only appropriate place for my son because his father lived and worked there, despite there being no extended family support system for my son in Wisconsin and the judges blindly followed her recommendations.
It would have been easy to feel overwhelmed and defeated by that.
Instead, Kyle and his team stayed focused on the facts, the law, the evidence, and what truly mattered: my son's best interests. After nearly two years, the evidence and commitment paid off.
Four months after the last day of the hearing, I received the final judge's order granting placement to be returned to me and finding the GALs recommendations unfounded and unlawful.
After everything we went through, I can honestly say that HKK Law Offices gave me something far more valuable than legal representation—they gave me confidence when I had very little left. They gave me someone to call when I didn't know what the next step was and when I didn't know if I would see my son again. They fought for me when the circumstances felt impossible, and they never made me feel like I was carrying the fight by myself.
As a military member, I understand what it means to trust the people standing beside you when the stakes are high. HKK Law Offices earned that trust.
If you are facing a custody or family law battle and need an attorney who will genuinely fight for you, who understands that your case is about much more than paperwork, and who will keep your child's best interests at the center of the fight, I cannot recommend Kyle and HKK Law Offices highly enough.
