I must say, I find working with Fenchel Family Law so very refreshing!! All the staff are very proactive and are a pleasure to work with. Really. And Laura is the best Attorney I've ever had! She's professional and very clear in her communications. She actually answers my questions in a concise manner - how refreshing!
I can't recommend Morgan highly enough. When my original counsel was no longer able to assist, Morgan stepped in and immediately became a pillar of support and professionalism. She was incredibly reliable and responsive, getting back to me quickly and keeping me informed every step of the way. Morgan's understanding and kind approach made this difficult process much more manageable. She listened with empathy and made sure I felt heard, which I truly appreciated. Beyond her compassion, Morgan is also remarkably knowledgeable. Her expertise was evident in every conversation, and she provided clear, strategic guidance that gave me confidence. She handled my case with the seriousness and speed it required, while ensuring my best interests and financial constraints were always the top priority. If you need a lawyer who is not only skilled in divorce but also a genuinely good person, Morgan is the one to call.
I had the privilege of working with Morgan Kimmey over the past 2.5 years with my highly emotional and complicated divorce and custody case. I had decided to end my 20+ year marriage, which was already long broken, 7 months after we unexpectedly lost our son. Needless to say, I was very fragile and quite a mess. Morgan, Valerie, and the entire team were very gentle, kind, and patient with me. Morgan made sure I understood what was being done or needed at each step. I found Morgan to be extremely supportive, yet honest. She was very realistic and would explain her line of thought and reasoning behind it. This helped me to understand things much better. Ending a long-term marriage and fighting for custody of a teen had its ups and downs, and brought on many unexpected challenges for me. Morgan helped me through many tearful phone conferences. I learned that there are “no winners” in a divorce, especially if there are children involved. People’s true colors will always eventually come out; as will the truth. Having Morgan by my side for support and guidance has allowed me to swallow my pride and permit my daughter to move to a different state with her dad at her request. This completely shattered my heart and world, but together we came up with a fair and agreeable visitation plan. The relationship with my daughter is closer than ever since moving away!! In the end, I’ve honestly been able to learn to “let it go” in regard to the divorce and look forward to what the next chapter of my life brings me! I’m ready for my journey thanks to The Fenchel Family Law Firm and most importantly, Morgan Kimmey whom I will forever be thankful for ❤️🙏
Fenchel Family Law turned an impossible situation into a remarkable victory. For 20 years, we struggled to cash out of a real estate investment due to a non-paying party, and our first law firm deemed it hopeless. Fenchel Family Law proved them wrong. In under a year, their team secured a payout that exceeded our expectations. Our attorney, Traci, was phenomenal—her deep knowledge and strategic thinking were matched by her humility in bringing real estate legal counsel into the plan, ensuring every angle was covered. Senior paralegal Brianna was a standout, always professional, accessible, and exceptional at keeping us updated on our case’s progress. Shannon, the receptionist, added warmth and a personal touch, making every interaction pleasant. The team’s thorough investigation, clear communication, and dedication made all the difference. If you need a powerhouse legal team for real estate or family law, Fenchel Family Law is unmatched. Thank you, Traci, Brianna, and Shannon, for your outstanding work!
Going through a divorce is never easy—it’s emotionally taxing and legally overwhelming. From the moment I contacted Fenchel Family Law, I felt a sense of peace and professionalism that immediately set them apart. I was especially moved when Valerie Fenchel herself called me directly. That personal touch meant a great deal and assured me I was in good hands. Valerie then assigned my case to Traci Holian, Esq., and I could not have asked for a better attorney. Traci has been the epitome of professionalism, compassion, and legal excellence throughout this entire process. She not only brought a deep understanding of family law to the table, but she also offered something even rarer—patience, empathy, and the ability to explain complex legal matters clearly and thoroughly. What impressed me most was her intentional effort to manage my case efficiently. Traci thoughtfully delegated tasks to team members with lower hourly rates when appropriate, helping to keep costs down without compromising the quality of representation. That level of consideration showed that she truly cared about both my legal outcome and my financial wellbeing. Every time I spoke with Traci, she gave me confidence. Her calm demeanor, strategic thinking, and consistent communication made me feel supported and reassured. I always felt that my case was in capable, attentive hands. I am incredibly grateful to Traci and the entire Fenchel Law team for guiding me through such a daunting season with care, clarity, and commitment. If you are in need of a strong advocate who will treat your case with both professionalism and heart, I highly recommend Traci Holian. Allen W.
