Review Anne Bryant

Highly Recommend

Posted by

I am an attorney myself, so I know good attorneys when I meet them. My experience with Peyton (Anne) and Darren has been excellent. It was very obvious from my first conversation with them that they very much know what they are doing and are very good at what they do. The bulk of my interactions have been with Peyton (Anne). Her analysis and recommendations have yielded tangible positive results that have set my mind at ease at a very difficult time. Not only are their rates reasonable, Peyton’s work will save me thousands upon thousands of dollars in the long term so that I can move on with the rest of my life in a stable and meaningful way. I highly recommend this firm.

Above and beyond

I needed professional advice and fast, Ms Bryant went above and beyond to ease my mind and gave me a sense of security that I know she will be able to help me if it comes to that, to keep the life I have worked so hard for. I would highly recommend her to anyone who may need her expertise. I will definitely be hiring her if my issue goes further.

Anne Peyton Bryant amazing divorce attorney

Posted by

My custody matter involves a special needs child which proceeded to a trial despite every effort by Ms Bryant to settle with the matter .Ms Bryant was accessible to me at all hours of the day and night both weekdays and weekends. It’s rare to find an attorney that will respond promptly whether it’s 10pm or 6am.She is both thoughtful and aggressive in her representation .So many lawyers are not good in court she is the best !! And because she is a divorced mom herself , she brings to her practice not only an incredible knowledge of the law from being a law clerk to a judge ,but also the life experience of having sat in your shoes .She knows what to look for and what is not practical or reasonable from both living it herself and practicing law.She is a fighter that recognizes your ex will be in your life for a long time .

Rarer Than Rare

If you are reading this, then you must be trying to decide whether to hire Anne Peyton Bryant. Retaining her was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Peyton (as she goes by) won my case, helped me to move on from this nightmare and lose 30 pounds. My advice? Call her, like I did 5 months ago, and let her tell you what to do next. Hire her and do not look back. You are in great hands.

Honest, Reliable and Effective

Posted by

I had few consultations with various attorneys before I decided to make my pick on Anne Peyton. Upon my initial consultation with her over the phone, she spent almost an hour discussing my case during which she demonstrated in-depth knowledge of Family Court. She really managed to break down my situation over the matter of about 50 minutes after which I surely experienced WOW effect. I went ahead and hired her. During our first court appearance, she made such extensive analysis of my situation, it's almost as if she had known myself and the opposing party for a long time. She is fierce, honest and is an outstanding fighter for when one needs it most while delivering clear perspective on the matter. You can certainly count on her to be straight up with you with all of her support.

Excellent. Beyond Excellent, Superlative

Posted by

Detailed, responsive, intelligent, creative. Best lawyer I've found in NY/NJ - and I have had to find a few. And a good person as well. Makes me regret every dollar I spent with inferior counsels. If I had found her years ago - my daughter and I would already be in a reasonable life. She is really something special in a profession where many people are criminally mediocre. She has my highest and strongest recommendation.

Supportive and knowledgeable

Posted by

Though I didn't need to retain her services ultimately, she was supportive, easy to reach, clear, a good listener, and her advice helped me through a tough time in ways I completely did not expect. I'm confident that if I'd needed to move forward with my case, she would have done a great job.

Outstanding all-around

Posted by

I've never seen such commitment. My divorce was highly contentious and lengthy, but Peyton and Darren never wavered. They were responsive, always answered my questions and explained everything to me. Before this I used to think a good lawyer was someone who walked into a courtroom and won a case... But what happens outside the courtroom is just as important. Fighting a spouse is very stressful, very personal and very painful. Your opposition can seek to provoke you and then leverage any mistake to delay the process, wear you down and cloud the issues...a divorce can turn on a dime because of what YOU do. Without solid guidance, personal attention and good advice, I would have been lost. Peyton and Darren kept me straight, saw the traps before i did and immediately helped me. No matter what the opposition did, my attorneys were right on top of it. I could write a book about this divorce. If I had unlimited funds and hired the best legal team money could buy, i wouldn't have gotten better service or advice. I'm so very grateful. Thank you!
