ONE OF THE BEST ATTORNEYS

Not only will Ann make you feel comfortable, she makes you feel like you are the only one she is helping at that time. Always letting you know what is happening and what to expect. There are no surprises. I feel as if I have found a great friend also. I have been with her since my husband passed away and there were a few problems with the estate.

A great experience working with Ann.

There so are many great things to say about working with the Law Office of Ann Halan Brickley on a recent employment matter. I found Ann to be very professional, helpful and responsive. She listened carefully when I explained the situation and her extensive background and expertise in these dealings allowed her to provide the solid advice I needed. Throughout the course of working towards a resolution Ann was always gentle and compassionate, especially during the stressful times. She has outstanding negotiation skills and always kept my best interest in the forefront. She was fair and honest with a sensible approach to the obstacles we faced and kept me informed every step of the way. Ann truly cares about her clients. As a result we were able to agree to a settlement and I was most satisfied with the outcome. My relationship with Ann was truly a great experience, she met all my expectations and I would highly recommend her to handle any legal issues.

Ann Brickley got right to the facts of my case and gave understanding solutions to pursue.

I was suddenly faced with unexplained termination from my job, Ann represented me so I would receive fair compensation. She is so knowledgeable and experienced, with a kind approach during a very stressful time. Contact her for legal help, she is amazing. Thank you Ann. I highly recommend her.

Trustworthy and professional

I had contacted several lawyers and they immediately mentioned what it would cost. I felt like just a number to them, Not Ann. She truly engaged you like she cared. She worked tirelessly to fight for what was just, and was professional throughout the process. Ann was accessible, reliable and thoughtful. I highly recommend her as the best lawyer I have ever worked with.

The Best!

When the first time I spoke to Ann Halan Brickley I finally had a feeling that someone cares about me and my injury. Since English is my second language she made sure I understand her and how she works. Ann took hours of her precious time to study my case and explore all options, she responded quickly to my phone calls and emails and was always ready to help more, she did an amazing research of doctors and I was able to get the best care and advice possible. My experience was just outstanding and I said many times before she is the one attorney I TRUST. I highly recommend Ann she is hard working and genuinely cares about her clients.
