FAQs for the South Metro

Where do Burnsville divorce and custody cases get filed?

Most cases are filed with the Dakota County District Court, unless one party resides in neighboring Scott County — in which case venue may differ. We help confirm the correct filing location and do the filling for you

Absolutely. Burnsville families often juggle commutes along I-35W, Hwy 13, and CR-42. We develop parenting schedules that account for realistic travel times, school locations, and work shifts.

Yes — we have 2 packages that purposefully avoid litigation; DIYvorce and FairWell Mediation. Even when you are on the path to court, we often settle our cases in the required mediation step before court.  

As long as both parents live within Dakota County, the case stays in Dakota County. If a parent lives in Hennepin or Scott County, we help determine the appropriate venue and explain how it affects your case.

Rapid changes in home value, refinancing, and differing down-payment sources can impact what’s considered marital vs. non-marital equity. We help protect your financial interests.

Reviews

Cheryl and Kristi were the most helpful!! They answered all my questions and guided me through with so much patience.
Brad P. and supporting staff really helped me a lot with my divorce process. I can't thank them enough! Brad was available in-person / phone / email and was responsive when issues or when questions came up. Brad answered my inquiries well and brought a lot of clarity during the process
I really appreciated that Johnson / Turner charges via lump sum, not hourly. It felt less stressful knowing our conversations / meetings weren't being timed.
I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any legal help I needed in the future.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the kind words. We're really glad Brad and the team could be there for you and help make a tough process a little easier. It’s great to hear that the flat-fee approach helped take some of the pressure off—we know how important that peace of mind can be. We really appreciate you trusting us, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything down the road.
So helpful with all my questions.
Our experience with the Estate Planning team was exceptional! It was great to be able to meet remotely for preliminary document completion and then follow up in person to complete the process. Communication/emails were prompt when questions arose during the process. Thank you!
