I should start off by saying this review is long overdue as my experience with Davis | Pingel law firm was far better than I could have expected. I recently hired Attorney Mandy Pingel and staff to represent me in my Divorce case and her dedication to providing excellent customer service and going above and beyond to communicate with me through every step of my case made everything far more manageable. I should also mention that the legal fees were far less than expected and I never felt that I was being taken advantage of financially. I was only charged for the actual time that each service took to complete and small fees were regularly waived.

My case was complicated by the fact that I am serving in the Military and stationed out of state in North Carolina resulting in a significant time and distance barrier. While researching Law Firms in Kansas City, MO during late in 2018 Davis | Pingel stood out to me because of the online reviews from Service members that had good experiences working with the Law firm while stationed out of State.
I contacted the law firm to set up a free consultation while visiting family in KC over the holidays and met with Attorney Mandy Pingel. She immediately made me feel at ease by answering all my questions and assuring me that she would be able to handle my case given the challenges of cross-state communication. Having never been involved in a legal dispute such as this, I didn’t know what to expect and felt overwhelmed, but was relieved to feel that Attorney Pingel had my best interests in mind.

Once I enlisted the services of Attorney Pingel she quickly started the process in filing for my divorce and kept me informed each step of the way. What I was most impressed with throughout the process was how seamless communication was. Every time I had an issue or concern Attorney PIngel would address it as soon as possible despite her busy schedule. I could contact her after hours or during weekends and always received a timely response. There were several obstacles that I encountered over the course of the divorce process due to my ex-wife’s efforts to delay the court hearings in order to continue receiving military mandated spousal support. However, Attorney Pingel was there every step of the way to provide sound legal advice.

The biggest challenge to my case was that I received deployment orders and required a court date prior to my deployment date which was late in 2019. I had a very narrow window in which I could make a court appearance in Missouri due to training and other service-related obligations. Attorney Pingel went out of her way and ensured that I had a court date that I was able to make. Furthermore, she was able to close out the case and finalize my divorce with only one court appearance. I was spared very significant financial burdens and an incredible amount of personal stress due to the efforts of Attorney Pingel.

Whether you are living in KC or are a resident serving in the Military out of state I could not give a higher recommendation than I give to Attorney Mandy Pingel. She understands and respects the challenges to all family law matters as well as the unique challenges that service member encounter. Additionally, I need to mention that her support staff, namely Paralegal Tsion Mehari, went above and beyond throughout all phases of my case. Paralegal Mehari worked over her weekend to ensure that court documents were completed for my hearing and answered all questions that I had through the process.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation from Mandee! She was kind, caring, compassionate and so knowledgeable. She was always on top of things and was great at breaking down each item that was discussed. I highly recommend her if going thru a child custody case.

I was the opposing party to Davis Pingel in an uncontested divorce. Davis Pingel were very professional and helped make the divorce process as easy as possible. They provided updates throughout the process and informed us on what they needed/what needed to be done. They were hired by my ex-wife for an uncontested divorce and, even though I was the respondent/not their client, they kept me informed and treated me with respect. Based on my experience, I recommend Davis Pingel.

The office of Davis and Pingle utilized a team dynamic approach to my case which meant that anytime I had a questions or concerns, there was ALWAYS someone available with an answer. They also went out of their way to minimize costs. Furthermore, they were more than understanding when it came to my current active duty status in the military and continued to accommodate my needs while I was stationed halfway across the world, 15 hours ahead of Kansas City local time. I was very impressed with the dedication, professionalism, and availability of all members that I interacted with at this firm. I highly recommend the law office of Davis and Pingel, especially if you are seeking a firm that is military friendly.

Very knowledgeable. Met with several attorneys and Mandee was the most professional and valued our business. Would recommend to anyone. Will use her in the future if needed.

My boyfriend and I worked with Mandee and she was amazing. She listened to us and worked with us on what we wanted. You could tell she believes in father's rights. I was amazed how she maintained her professionalism when the lawyer for his ex-wife got rude and very unprofessional. We would use Mandee again.

Davis/Pingel are professionals from the first step to the last. They work as a team for their client and uphold the law as well as personal and moral values and ethics. I couldn't imagine a better team behind me.

Patrick and Mandee are fantastic people and highly skilled trial attorneys. They've consistently showed great care for me and my family, both as their client(s) and as people. They navigated us safely through some very difficult times while keeping everyone's best interests at heart. Davis Pingel is truly a FAMILY law firm.

I called twice and the lady on the other end was just silent, didn't say anything after I explained why I was calling. I guess I'll try someone else.

The entire staff was wonderful through our entire process! Attorney Pingle was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the process. She was very patient with all of our questions and answered them honestly. We found a very high level of perfessionalism and personal attention! I loved that the whole staff knew us and what was happening so that someone was able to answer a question if Attorney Pingle was unavailable.

Mandee and the staff were such a support during a difficult time. She and the staff were also professional yet compassionate and understanding to our situation. My trust in her knowledge and guidance is extremely high. Thank you Mandee and staff!

Both Pat and Mandee are outstanding lawyers and people. They’ve helped me through one of the toughest times in my life and were gracious, caring, tenacious, understanding, and the absolute best a person could ask for. I am so grateful for Mr. Davis’s and the entire teams’ help and expertise and I, honestly; can’t thank them enough for everything they have done. Pat, Claire, Tsion, and really the entire team worked tirelessly to help me get through everything. They truly are the best.

I came into Mandee’s office absolutely hopeless and really not knowing what to do. Mandee and the entire team (Tsion especially) made this grueling process bearable and I thank God everyday for using their firm for my divorce. Nothing is easy about getting divorced but they helped the transition as much as they possibly could. They don’t tell you what to do, they suggest things that are in your best interest. Everyone went out of their way to help in whatever way they could. I always was able to speak to someone when I had a questions. Everyone was always polite and professional. If someone wasn’t available I knew I would get a call or an email as soon as they were available. I can’t thank Mandee, Tsion, and the rest of the team at Davis Pingel enough for everything they did for my son and I. They aren’t just going after money, they are truly helping people get their lives back and you’ll be able to tell they care and love what they do. If you have to go though a divorce there’s no other firm better to help you stay strong and positive in what might be the darkest time of your life. 100 stars over and over for Davis Pingel.

well the lady that answers the phone sounds sleepy, is like...so boring to even ask for something

The entire team at Davis Pingel is amazing. I was dealing with a difficult situation, and Davis Pingel made a huge difference for me. I only wish I had contacted them sooner. I highly recommend this firm.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this firm is! They are the type of firm you dream of finding.

If you're needing a family lawyer, things in your life are already stressful. Pat, Mandee and their team really got involved in our case and went above and beyond in ways that I couldn't begin to describe in this short review.

We had a happy ending for EVERYONE involved and we realize how lucky we were. What I appreciated most was Pat's honesty and frankness. He told us right up front that if he didn't think what we were wanting to do was right, he wouldn't take the case. That showed me his integrity. And he was always very honest about what we were facing where the law was concerned. The entire team always made themselves available as needed, even after hours, as situations sometimes demanded. And they didn't run the bill up needlessly, as I've had other attorneys do in the past. Is it expensive, yes. But that is true of most attorneys and the process of family law. And you get what you pay for. When you see the hours they put in to ensure the best outcome for you and those you love -- what kind of price can you put on that?

Their entire team truly cares about their clients, all of them, even the receptionists and legal assistants. Tsion and the rest of the support team greet you by name and can discuss things with you and know all of the details. Not only about your case, but your interests and the rest of your life. (Because it may not feel like it at the time, but there is life outside of what you're currently facing!) It's not just a job for this team - it's a mission and a passion - and it shows in the results they bring. And along the way, we were blessed to make some very great friends in them as well!

After having a mishap in communication where I rated the firm low, Attorney Pingel called me right away to discuss the nature of my case and clarify questions I had in family law in general and in comparing the state of Kansas vs. Missouri for my personal situation. I was pleased with the follow up phone call and satisfied with the answers given during our discussion. I will move forward with confidence.

Service is great, always responded timely to my questions...the downside is cost. They are very expensive.

It's difficult to speak more highly of Attorney Pat Davis and the entire Davis|Pingel team. Choosing this team means choosing experience, professionalism, true advocacy, follow through and attention to you "the person" every step of the way. I'm thankful to have had them on my side. Thank you!

The Davis Pingle law firm helped my family through a very difficult court case. I really appreciated their attention to detail and that they kept me informed throughout the legal process. I would definitely go back to them if ever needed in the future.

We brought a family friend to attorney Davis after I did an extensive research of the law firm on the internet. To be honest, I really didn't believe that this firm could live up to the reviews I found.
After the first appointment, I saw that this firm indeed deserved the accolades they received. Our friend spoke English but not as first language. The employees and the attorneys went above and way beyond to make sure she understood everything that was to be done and accomplished.
Attorney Davis had the patience and professionalism that I have not seen in a very long time.
I highly recommend this law firm without the slightest reservation. They all are fantastic people and truly care about their clients!

Mandee and the team were wonderful! They always made sure we had information quickly and gave the opportunity to ask questions. I could not have asked for a better team!

Davis Pingel and Associates handled my Motion to Modify case with care, empathy and professionalism. What seemed to be a routine case in the beginning quickly turned into a complex case with an unusual set of circumstances. This firm utilized extreme skill on so many levels and their experience pulled us through. This firm has a fantastic reputation and throughout my case I could see why and how they earned it. The new parenting plan is a blessing for me and for my children's future. These are the people you want in your corner.

Mandee Pingel handled my divorce and a subsequent legal issue with my ex wife.

Mandee's experience and professionalism proved to be a huge asset. In both cases Mandee was able to produce the results we asked for.

Thank you Mandee!

We primarily worked with Mandee at Davis Pingel but have come in contact with most all at this firm. Everyone was always pleasant and worked toward our best interest. We received great advice and great outcomes. This is Family Law and treated like family is exactly what you will get. We have used Mandee for 7 years and will continue to use her for any further advice or need.

We can NOT speak more highly of Davis, Pingel and Associates. They treat you as family and represent you as the same. They helped us through a long tough custody case with many obstacles that came up. Throughout the entire process, if we had questions, all we had to do was call. The firm works as a team and we feel that works best in favor of the client. All team members are super sweet, professional and knowledgeable. When walking into a courtroom with this team by your side, you will undoubtedly feel confident. I would highly recommend them to handle your legal situation if the need arises!!

This firm is absolutely amazing! We worked with Attorneys Davis and Pingel and staff for almost 4 years throughout our case and they not only became our friends they were so professional and compassionate, genuine and caring throughout the process. Their dedication was very impressive and we always knew that they were always looking out for our kids. It was great to know that we could count on them during this stressful time. I would highly recommend this firm.

This is a family first firm. They always thought of the children and their clients first. Not the opposing party.

When my wife and I were looking for counsel after being to mediation and had seen two other attorneys. Davis & Pingel were the only counselors who would represent us. Everyone else said, we did not have enough for custody. We didn't understand how we did not have enough with the children's Step-father being in Prison for robbing a QT. Domestic violence in the house. The children were also in a bad school district, which didn't have enough resource to help the children with their learning issues. Medical neglect, I will stop there, just wanted everyone why we didn't understand.

When we considered them, we asked around about Davis & Pingel. We were told, they were BULLDOGS, would do anything to win. This is what we were looking for, me, being a Father, and not ever having success in the court room against a mother before. We needed someone who would fight for me has a Father, who made us feel like what we were doing for our children really mattered to them. Like they were in this fight with us, cause they were family, and cared about our children and their well fair has much has we did.

Well, we got what we were looking for, it took 3.5 years to close the custody case, but the children were living with my wife and I for 2.5 years of the case. We ended with Sole custody of the children legally. Mandee, Pat, & Tsion were/are professionals, made us feel like family from day one. They made sure there was nothing left on the table. They made sure we were prepped with with whatever question might be asked of us in the court room. Tsion made sure to investigate anything we would like her to. If it was out there, she found it, very thorough.

I did not know these types of counselors were out there. Always thought they were just out for the money. Well, Davis & Pingel will fight for you and your children. They will stand right beside you, hold your hand, to make sure you are prepared when you walk in the court room. You will be so prepped for court, the other counsel will not have anything to use against you. You will have the answer for any kind of question any opposing counsel would ask, when that arises.

The bottom line is; their is no one we would trust with our children's rights and a father rights. Than, DAVIS & PINGEL, They are not a law firm to us. They are family, our children love them and we love them. Our family cannot thank them enough for making us whole and protecting us when no one else would. Thank you again and again.

The absolute BEST law firm available. It's not only their job, but their PASSION to serve others and get the RESULTS you desire. The entire staff is top notch! Had we used Davis/Pingel from the beginning, we would have certainly got it right the first time. Five stars for sure!

What can I say about Patrick Davis? NOTHING negative! This gentleman helped me through some of the most trying days of my life, helped me keep my sanity and positive attitude throughout the entire process (which took months) with my legal matters regarding my son. I have gone through this process with other attorneys in the last 15 years and NONE OF THEM came close to the service that this man gave me. This is a man of integrity and values, and I would recommend him to ANYBODY that is fighting for their rights and the rights of their children!

I would highly recommend this firm. I have worked with Attorney's Patrick Davis and Mandee Pingel for many years. I would endorse them strongly for anyone searching for excellent and extremely hard working attorneys. I can't say enough about their professionalism, communication skills, and the personal caring and attention that you receive from these most genuine professionals. I am most impressed with their dedication to each individual case and how they go above and beyond for every personal case that they encounter. Their fees are very reasonable for this high level of service. They have a respected reputation as some of the best attorneys in Kansas City within their specialized field of law.
