Pingel Family Law - Kansas City, Missouri

I was extremely happy with the services I received. Ms. Russell always answered my questions and made time to speak to me about any issues and what the right move would be for my case. This ultimately saved me 30K that I was being cheated out of from the child support I paid. I would absolutely use Ms. Russell and the Pingel Family Law again. I was treated with respect and while living 4 states away helped me as if I was sitting in front of her. I wish I could have continued my case with them, but unfortunately they don’t work in my state. Thank you again Ms. Russell!

I had 3 different consults before finding Mandee. She is thorough and fair. She clarified every single thing for me before having me agree, as well as making sure I was not taken advantage of. She fought for fair distribution. She personalized my case to fit exactly what I needed and made me feel heard. I expected we'd to go to litigation but we came to agreement and settled in mediation. I cannot talk more highly of her and her team.

Thank you so much Mandee!

I waited 3 weeks to replace my attorney Leslie Lawson with a non-conflict attorney that was not friends with the Burmeister group and would actually represent a client that paid them good money for their expertise. I get to the meeting and Mandee won’t take on my case. She knows Kelle Burmeister Gilmore as well. I asked the group 2 times prior to the meeting if there was a “conflict of interest”.
At least Mandee did the right thing and refunded my money for the waste of time, even though I didn’t ask for it.
I will find an attorney that does their job, no matter if they know the Burmeisters or Not. All I want is a fair and civil divorce. Corruption and games are not for me!

Mandee and her team are horrible. Tread lightly if you choose to retain her. I won’t tell my whole story but there was misleading, missed (lost) paperwork, and overall ghosting for months with no hearing from her or her team. She will charge you for every email no matter how unimportant or minimal. Take note. Retain a lawyer who charges a flat fee and who actually hears what you want. Mandee just went with the flow till things got serious and things went haywire. Bottom line she is wishy washy and relies too much on her incompetent team. Good luck but pick someone else.

Pingel Family Law is a firm you can trust with legal issues. Mandee Pingel is wonderful. She is bright, thoughtful, calm, reasonable, and understanding. When I was going through my divorce, Mandee and the team made sure I understood my rights and guided me through the complexities of divorce. This team is kind, knowledgeable, communicative, and undoubtedly trustworthy to guide their clients through difficult times. I am eternally grateful for all the work this firm did on my behalf.

I was going through a very rough patch in my marriage (putting it lightly - I’ll be doing a lot of that here) when I approached Pingel Family Law after reading Google reviews, lawyer review websites on the firm, comparing their reviews with others, etc. I had an absolutely dire need for help, and I knew this divorce would be “highly contested” (and, again, that’s putting it lightly). So I knew I really needed a good firm. I initially spoke with Emily and Grace, in which both were incredibly sympathetic of my situation and beyond ready to help, so after thinking it over briefly, I decided to hire Emily to represent me (Grace being a part of her team).

The divorce process was highly stressful due to my specific case, but the whole Pingel Team (at multiple times it felt like the entire firm was involved in helping with my case) was so graceful and tactful in their approaches and responses to everything each step of the way. Whenever I needed help, someone was always there to respond. Any time I walked into the office, I felt a welcoming presence and kindness immediately from everyone, which carried into a supportive ally in the courtroom with Emily. Mandee is top notch in her choice of lawyers for her firm, and it shows. I really want to reiterate how professional Emily kept things, as I feel many people would have struggled more in this area multiple times in my specific case.

Ultimately, I am still married (happily, might I add) as my husband and I decided not to follow through with divorce, but I’m not sure I could’ve gotten to this point without God’s grace and such a great support system in Pingel Family Law.

Reading the other reviews on Google warms my heart for how they’ve helped others, and although my case was really wild and they adapted to everything so flawlessly (and there was a lot of adapting as so much happened in such a short time), I want to add how non-judgmental they’ve been, even though my husband and I chose not to actually get divorced. That was a breath of fresh air for a case that was truly abnormal from beginning to end.

Thank you again for everything, Team!

After speaking with several law offices while trying to find a family lawyer I am happy that I chose to use Pingel Family Law to handle my case. I worked closely with Emily and Grace and from the first conversation with them felt good about the future. They were kind, friendly, and super responsive with any question and update. I couldn't be happier with how my case was handled. I felt a sense of calmness and relief through the entire process. They never rushed us off the phone and used our time wisely. We knew it was going to be an expense and they were upfront about costs and how the office handles their billing. They have continued to champion for our paperwork to be completed and are so kind in updating us. Although I'm thankful we are done with this chapter I am so happy we chose Emily and the team to help us and would recommend them to others!
