Testimonials

Lidia always does an exceptional job! She communicates clearly, is professional and knowledgeable, and does a wonderful job making our buyer clients feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process. It's always a pleasure working with her. Highly recommend!

Everything was completed in a timely and efficient manner. My desired outcome was achieved.

Marissa has represented our family for post-divorce and traffic issues, and she is a true professional who is very knowledgeable. She has always addressed all of our questions and concerns promptly, professionally, and in comprehensive detail.
I highly recommend Marissa Hanson and her firm.

I went through what should have been a pretty straight forward divorce but it was anything but that. Over 2 years of back and forth that I couldn't have handled emotionally without this woman. Every question I had was answered. Every fear I had was met with protection and guidance. I never felt like Marissa was out to make money off of me. She truly wanted this done and advised me in the best ways possible to limit cost and sanity. If you want an honest, dependable lawyer, it's Marissa Hanson hands down.

Marissa Hanson did an outstanding job turning out mediation apprehension into clear and concise terms that made negotiation smooth and easy. I was nervous going into the mediation session as a mediation first timer, but with Marissa Hanson's help, we were able to ease right into the negotiations as simple conversations between parties. I hope to never do mediation again, but if I need to again, I know I hope to work with Marissa Hanson again in the future.

Marissa really demonstrated a deep knowledge of family law. She was respectful, caring and thorough. Marissa helped me navigate the hardest choice of my life with care, compassion and competence. I ended my marriage feeling well treated, managed and helped.

We appreciate Marissa Hanson's help with the closing of our old home and the purchase of our new home.
She thoroughly explained everything in Layman's terms for us to understand.

I had mediation with Mr. Hurtado yesterday, and I truly appreciated his professionalism. He was straightforward, fair, and gave both of us the opportunity to speak and be heard. He kept the conversation calm, respectful, and focused on finding solutions. Thank you for helping make the mediation process go as smoothly as possible.

Going through a divorce and custody matters is one of the hardest experiences I’ve ever faced, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Marissa. She guided me every step of the way, answered my countless questions with patience, and always made me feel like she genuinely cared about my case and my family. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. I always felt prepared and supported because of her. I’m so grateful for everything she has done for me and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Very easy to work with, they walk you through the whole process and make you feel comfortable!

She is an effective communicator, kind and rationale. She has been very reasonable with her charges and provides high quality services.

I highly recommend Serrano Hanson & Hurtado LLC for anyone dealing with complex family law matters. They represented me in a challenging child support case and were outstanding from start to finish. My legal team was incredibly prepared, thorough, and highly strategic during our court hearings.
​A special thanks to Otto Hurtado for his hard work and preparation, the court accurately calculated the financials, exposed hidden income discrepancies, and I was awarded a permanent child support increase that truly protects my children’s best interests. He kept me informed, gave me realistic expectations, and vigorously advocated for me in front of the judge. If you need a dedicated, professional family law firm in Kane County that will truly look out for your family under pressure, this is the team you want in your corner.

I highly recommend this custody lawyer. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. They explained every step of the process clearly, kept me informed, and always responded promptly to my questions. Their dedication, attention to detail, and strong advocacy made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and they worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome for my family. If you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled custody attorney, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Otto has represented me in two different cases, and the results were excellent both times. I am very satisfied with his work and highly recommend him; he is extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer all your questions.

Everyone at this office is extremely knowledgeable and honest about your case. I have recommended several friends to them who are all more than happy with the representation and guidance received.

I’m updating my review after taking time to reflect on my experience. Marissa Hanson and her firm demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and a clear ability to move my case forward.
Looking back, I recognize that my earlier concerns were influenced by the stress of the situation rather than a full understanding of the legal process and strategy involved. Family law matters are complex, and I now have a greater appreciation for the approach that was being taken.
Marissa brings experience and structure to these types of cases, and I respect the work that was done on my behalf.

Otto was our mediator during a divorce. He was extremely calm, and only gave direction toward the best interest of the kids, and the state statutes.
Veronica and the other paralegal and office staff were very friendly and prompt with all communication.
I found their pricing to be fair and transparent. They charge by the 10th of an hour an manage their court time efficiently.

Attorney Hurtado handled my divorce case quickly and honestly. He was professional and reasonably priced! Highly recommended! 💯

I Highly recommend and saving the number in case I ever need it again:) Mr. Otto is very prepared & I didn't need to get involved much for him to close the case on my behalf. I felt very comfortable asking any questions or suggestions I had, even the legal assistants where very knowledgeable answering my calls or emails right away. The Price was also very straightforward and under other attorney's price range for my custody case.

Lidia is up-to-date with technology which makes payment and communication seamless. Lidia was willing and able to defend my stance when I needed her the most. I forever continue recommending family and friends here! 10 years and going. Thank you so much :)

Lucas Otto was an outstanding lawyer. He helped me with my adoption. My judge told the court room he had perfect paperwork and that never happens!

I came to Otto because I was tired of seeing my brother get screwed over by another law office. He was going through a divorce for over a year and changed lawyers 3 times. The process was getting out of control. As soon as we came to Otto we felt so much better and now he is divorced within 6 months. I appreciate everything Otto and his team did and would highly recommend them. Keep up the good work!

Otto and his team are the best !! They were all extremely helpful in my process if I could give more stars I definitely would . I highly recommend him .

Otto is an amazing attorney who has handled our family law needs for years. Otto always explains things fully in terms we can understand. I would recommend Otto to anyone who needs legal representation.

He handled my case swiftly and professionally. I will always recommend him to anyone who is dealing with family law issues. You aren't just another case to him, If needed (again), he will be my first call!! Thank you Otto!!!

Otto Hurtado has been the best keeping me informed, making sure I understand what's going on and overall helping me through this tough time in family court and I would recommend everyone if they needed a lawyer to go to him.

He did what he said, he would do and also truly cared about my daughter and my situation and was very affordable even for the time we're living in!!!

Very honest, caring and straight forward attorney who works very hard to get the results you are looking for.

I searched to find a divorce attorney who I thought would be good at what he/she did, but also was someone who I felt had integrity. As soon as I spoke with Otto, I knew my search was over. He is incredibly efficient and skilled at what he does, but he is also compassionate, understanding, and just a really good person. He wasn’t sales-y at all, and didn’t make me feel pressured to work with him. I could tell when I first spoke with him that he genuinely cares for his clients and their well-being. He was strategic with his plans, but he also sat with me and explained the reasons behind why and how the strategy would work. He was quick to listen to me and always answered my questions without making me feel stupid. His staff was also really helpful and professional. No one wants to go through a divorce - but if you have to, there is no one better than Otto Hurtado to be in your corner. Otto, I am forever grateful to you.

Very helpful and instructive.

Marissa was a great communicator from start to finish. She gave me realistic expectations and took the time to truly understand my concerns. I would definitely recommend her!

Marissa made my divorce easy and as stress free as possible. She was able to answer any question I had about the process so I was confident throughout. She was always quick to respond via email or phone. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

I have been a client of Lidia for almost 10 years and I hope she doesn't retire anytime soon! Lidia is truly the best with giving clear guidance and recommendations based on her experience in law so you can make the best choice. She shuts down opposing counsel with grace and absolutely is not one to drag with cases. Do not hesitate to hire Lidia!

Attorneys Lidia Serrano and Marissa Hanson serve their clients with the highest professionalism and respect. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of lawyers who are smart, savvy and caring.

Good services

Very knowledgeable and professional. Great experience! Highly recommended.

Dealing with an out-of-state attorney, naturally I was worried because there's no way to really reference someone. I rolled the dice after reading as many reviews as I could and doing my own research. Long story short, I could not have made a better choice. Otto reaffirms the thought that there are some people out there that truly care. I cannot imagine anyone having a less than satisfactory experience from Otto or his paralegal.

I would just like to take a moment to thank Marissa for everything she’s done for me. She has worked faithfully for me for several years and has always brought outstanding results. Marissa has dedicated a great amount of time and effort to my case that I cannot thank her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and takes her time to ensure that both she and I are satisfied with the outcome. She always goes above and beyond in everything that she does! I highly recommend Marissa to anyone seeking legal assistance. I give Marissa 5 stars and many more, she is exceptional!

4 years ago I was in a bad abusive relationship and my ex destroyed my life my daughters father took advantage of the situation and took her from me I had no parenting time at all for a year till I got on my feet again in Florida my husband and I searched for a few months and came across Otto I felt comfortable with him right away! He assured he would get my daughter back and he never ever let me down! Yes things didn't always go as I wanted but we did what they all said was impossible within a year I had primary custody back of my daughter and now 3 years later we are able to move to Florida with her which we thought would never happen! He was always there for me and never gave up on me or my daughter it was a long and stressful 3 years and he has been the best lawyer I could ever ask for! I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! I was never just a pay check to him he actually cared about my situation and did everything he could to help me! I'm so so grateful for everything he has done for me and my family!

I'm forever indebted to Otto for helping me get the custody of my children I was aiming for. As a father, you sometimes feel like the justice system is stacked against you. The thought of having anything less than joint custody wasn't a reality I was willing to accept or fathom. But it was through Otto's representation and determination that we won our case with even more parenting time than anticipated. He was responsive and attentive to my needs all throughout the case. I cannot express enough the gratitude and my satisfaction with Otto Hurtado and his services.

We were in a LONG family court case that went from one court room to another and one judge to another. Otto, was stalwart in his representation! He relentlessly pled our case and brought the matter to a successful conclusion. We cannot say enough about Otto. If you're in need of excellent representation and want a person who will be honest and trustworthy contact Otto.

I hired Otto about a year ago to help with my child support/visitation case. He was extremely helpful then and continues to be every time I've reached out with questions. If you're looking for an honest hardworking lawyer - Otto Hurtado is your guy! I'd recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you Otto!

I have hired Otto on two seperate occassions. The first case he assisted in helping me get my daughter in my life against heavy opposition, to say the least! I received the most favorable joint custody decision possible. It was a lengthy process but certainly worth it. The second was not the most favorable outcome I wanted, but he still managed to solidify some essential pieces for the future and gave his all. Everything happens for a reason and just because there wasn't a total victory in custoday change, like I wanted I still am greatful for the overall results, because God knows my situation could certainly be worse based off of the slander and false accusations that he had to constantly defend against. The fact is it's not an even playing field for Dad's but remain optomistic with the direction the Father's rights movement is heading in. If you are looking for a dedicated lawyer, who is as honest and hard working, as it gets in this cut-throat industry then you should hire him. There are plenty of other top dollar sleezy attorneys to choose from. His rates are fairly reasonable and he is also a guardian in the courts so having that experience is a huge asset. God Bless this man & his practice abundantly! I thank him for his excellent service for my family!

I have been navigating through a difficult situation and Marissa Hanson is my attorney. I am so pleased with the seamless approach and timely fashion in which business has been conducted. Lidia Serono has been helpful as well with answering questions throughout the process. A great big thank you to this firm. I would highly recommend utilizing this firm for family related matters.

Excellent representation. Marissa performed with polite persistence against an overbearing, obnoxious opponent. Her research skills and tenacity were admirable. A grateful thanks from a satisfied client.

Marissa was great! She helped me out as best she could and I was in a different state. So I thank her so much for that. Thank you Marissa!

Otto has been very helpful with my husbands case we live in Indiana had a case in Kane county and Otto gave us advise for custody and child visitations and child support, although we thought the case was very complicated talking with Otto in the phone made us feel confident and in 3 courts it was done . WE HIGHLY RECOMEND OTTO HURTADO FOR YOUR LAWYER
