Anne Donnelly Bush

Anne represented me in a dispute with my former employer and provided clear, pragmatic legal advice throughout the process. She was thoughtful and straightforward in explaining the legal landscape, the trade-offs involved, and what was realistically achievable. I appreciated her ability to keep th...e focus on facts, risk, and outcomes, rather than emotion or escalation. Anne was responsive, transparent about fees, and consistent in helping me understand my options at each stage. While matters like this are never simple, her steady approach helped bring the situation to a practical resolution. I would recommend Anne to anyone looking for experienced, level-headed counsel in a workplace dispute.

During a paid legal consultation arranged through the NYC Bar Legal Referral Service back in May, the attorney began by stating we had previously interacted, which I found surprising given that I had only been referred to her a week prior. This initial misunderstanding set a difficult tone for the co...nversation. As I tried to describe the discrimination I faced, including the role of harmful stereotypes, my concerns were not fully acknowledged. The attorney maintained that being hired precluded any discrimination claim and asserted that the performance improvement plan (PIP)—which I believe contained false allegations and led to my termination—was valid. She concluded I had no legal case without a thorough review of the circumstances. After just 19 minutes, the conversation ended, and I was left feeling that the consultation lacked the sensitivity and depth needed to address complex identity-based issues. Unfortunately, it did not provide the insight I had hoped for.

I recently consulted Anne Donnelly regarding a separation agreement from my place of work for the last 20+ years. The counsel that was offered, as well as the considerate treatment I received is without parallel. The advise I received was extremely helpful and kept me at ease during the entire proces...s towards signing my separation agreement. Special mention should go to Dan, whose experience as a paralegal and whose wonderful conversational manner makes the entire experience with the legal office more than "just going to a lawyer." I give them my highest recommendation.

My experience with The Law Offices of Anne Donnelly Bush was nothing short of exceptional. They were professional, candid, and straight-forward in their assessments. I came to them at a time when I had major legal concerns and was particularly vulnerable. Their counsel led to a determination in my ca...se that would not have otherwise been arrived at, and substantially affected my trajectory moving forward. I am eternally grateful and would recommend this firm in strong confidence in their ability legally advise clients with challenging cases.
