Greta creates unnecessary drama and conflict between divorcing parties. She also files useless motions and creates a huge paper trail so she can charge more money. It’s plain sad that some of her clients don’t see that she’s just a money grabber!

I came to Greta's office to handle my divorce from my ex-wife. 3 years later, the divorce was completed. I will grant my ex-wife dragged her feet, but the attorney Greta assigned did little to move the case along. In fact some items he out right refused to do even though I expressly stated I would pay for his time. So three years later I finally had a bare bones divorce agreement completed. Fast forward to today: My ex-wife as developed mental health issues abuses her children, California CPS is involved and I reach out to Greta who is now running for Family Court Judge in Boone County KY and her office REFUSES to help. Needless to say I do not recommend this attorney for any child support cases. She doesn't seem interested in the health and well being of children.

These attorneys are the best for helping with child custody cases. I will never use anyone else.

Going through a very difficult custody battle, I am really seeking an attorney that can defend me and who understands the challenges that men face in trying to play a role in their children's lives in today's family court system. I booked a consultation with Kyle Wiete and his biggest concern seemed to be me being able to afford his $3,000 retainer fee, and $300+ per hour rate rather than helping me establish visitation with my children. After my consultation, over a week had passed and I received no follow up phone call from Mr. Wiete, so I contacted his office to attempt to setup payment arrangements with him. I left a message with his secretary and still have not received a call back. That was enough for me to decide I don't want to invest $3,000 into a lawyer who cannot even return a phone call . They seem like another big name firm that's quick to charge outrageous retainer fees while getting you little to no results at all on your case. It seemed like too much of a risk to me for a lawyer who displayed no desire to help me resolve my case.

I was extremely happy with the representation I received from Greta in my revisitation of my shared parenting agreement. Greta was able to get my 50/50 shared parenting rearranged to suit my new work schedule, get my child support lowered, and most importantly pull in the reigns on my combative ex-wife. She now has limitations and guidelines set by the court which vastly improve the time and relationships my family has in our time together. I Highly recommend Greta for Any family court issues.

I am very pleased that Greta Walker represented our estate. She was aggressive in moving the case to completion. They are very knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive at communicating with you. I couldn’t have selected a better attorney.

"it's me", the review from October 2016,is about as accurate as it gets. Just wish I would have seen the review before wasting thousands of dollars just to be humiliated and definitely not defended in court.

Never even had to hire them. Greta called gave me some information of who to contact in Frankfort. It worked. Just wanted to post nice review on how they may not had me as a client today. You can be sure I will remember this and speak well to others about them!
Thanks!!

My entire experience from start to finish was handled flawlessly. I worked with Kyle Wiete directly for Estate Planning and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly so that both my wife and I understood completely. I would highly recommend them and their team to any of my friends and family.

I've just seen an affadavit drawn by this office. Please keep in mind it's not for myself. The respondent's name was not spelled correctly in half the document. Other times Ms. Walker's office referred to this person's last name only. Given that the petitioner also has the same last name, not specifying which one is just lazy. Numerous grammar mistakes such as Ms. instead of Mrs.; actual phrases like "no cooperate with." Dear Greta, it's called spell check and proof reading. Either your law clerk or secretary is doing a terrible job, or you are. It"s embarrassing to think a high schooler could have written a more accurate legal document. I mean if the document itself is this poorly written, I shudder to think what your arguments would be in court, or to put in words your office would understand...woulyds be curt. Amateur hour for sure.

Greta Hoffman and everyone at her firm were absolutely amazing to me. I had a complicated divorce I was trying to battle alone. I continued to run into obstacle after obstacle for 6 months until I found my way to her office. I am beyond thankful I did. Once there, she along with her entire staff went above and beyond what I ever expected to help me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She is friendly, professional and amazing at what she does. I cannot thank her enough.

Professionalism, compassion, kindness, this is what Greta has to offer. I recently faced a very difficult situation with a very well-known jewelry company. Greta knew exactly what to do and how to proceed in order to deliver results, quickly and effectively. Facing difficult situations where attorneys have to get involved, sometimes not our choice, choosing the right people to guide us and help us through the problem, “totally our choice”. I highly recommend Greta!!!

Amazing! Very professional does a great job working with her clients to help make a painful process bearable. Greta took the time to work with to help me lower my legal fees where most other attorneys would look to maximize their opportunities to cash. Her entire staff is friendly and very responsive to requests and questions to help her clients understand the process and what to expect. I would and have recommended her to many friends and family members.

She is a rude and has very little personality with the client. She Will over charge you and the results won't be what she assures you they will be. If she is your attorney find a new one ASAP

I hired Gretta Hoffman to handle my custody case based on the reviews I read. But What Grata gave me was Kyle Wiete. She assured me and reassured me he was more then capable to handle things and he had her full trust. 10 months and Thousands of my Dollars later.
On Trial date this is the best firm you can hire for the other side. You might as well save your money and go to court alone. In hiring this firm I unknowingly gave up my right to any kind of defense. In court my lawyer kept repeating to me "non of this matters non of this matters". Hiring them is like hog tying your hands and legs and jumping in the ocean. You will drown and they will be absolutely no help in defending you. With this firm expect to be ripped to shreds in court by the other lawyer and expect the other side to have a full smooth sailing unopposed.

My attorney's plan for final trial was to keep thing all positive on our side and let the other party get negative. He asked me a few basic generic positive parenting questions..
The opposing lawyer was a quick hire. He did not prepare, had no witnesses or evidence to present, but did his job to the fullest. He attacked me on anything and everything. Which is fine it's the other lawyer job to attack you. My lawyer just sat there LIMP. I had to throw my hands up in the air and look at him and ask him to say objection before he would say "Objection".
Then I am waiting for my lawyer to go on offense with the other party, but he just asked the other side basically the same generic parenting happy go lucky questions he asked me and that was it. I asked him to bring up work, medical history...etc up but he just kept telling me "non of this matters non of this matters" Keep in mind my case is stacked with proof against the other side. I have a restraining order. I have threatening emails, Notarized Perjury of state forms, the other party perjured them selves in the prior hearing which the judge caught.

My lawyer would not make even the slightest attempt at any kind of defense or rebuttal to the false accusations being made against me. Even though I had proof in my hand. He refused to enter it or to even attempt to counter in any way shape or form.
In the end things did matter to the judge. So the order was pretty much one sided against me.
After paying this firm THOUSANDS of dollars I received not even the slightest attempt to put on any kind of defense for me. Instead my lawyer just kept telling me "NON OF THIS MATTERS" .

Either nothing matters in Family court in which case you might as well go alone or nothing matters to this law firm in which case hiring another firm or go alone at least you can try to defend yourself.

I am very please with the way Greta handled my divorce case. She is very thorough and responded to my emails and text throughout the day and into the evenings. She got me full custody of my son and I am the father. Excellent experience.

Greta Hoffman was excellent in changing my irrevocable trust to a revocable trust. She knew exactly what I was trying to get across to her in my trust. I was so afraid she wouldn't understand what I needed and she knew exactly what I needed. If I need to change anything in my trust she said she will be glad to help. I find her to be an excellent lawyer and will definently see her again for issues that come up.

Thanks Greta for all your help.

I would say that Greta is very thorough when trying to find out exactly what has happened and what my needs and wants are. She is a very fair individual that will tell you about the court system and when your hearing will be presented in front of a judge. I was pleased with her demeanor and did not feel intimidated like some lawyers can make you feel.
