Ann Giardina Hess

I hired her to take care of my divorce all she did was file it and the consultation maybe I talked to her on the phone twice and she charged me over 5000 bucks she never went to court because I hired a new attorney thank god who knows what I would of paid if she did the whole Divorce read this and r...un away if you're thinking of hiring her.

Exceedingly rude during each of several consultations. Calls at 7 AM! Hangs up when she's done talking! Never listens. Is fond of giving ancient history on different counties, many years ago.........Likes to quote Greek tragedies!....to snub her nose at [your] "lack of knowledge..."-???????!!! ...It was unclear to me, actually, why she did this. Talking to this woman made everything much more complicated than it was. Mine was a relatively straight-forward divorce, with some issues of marital property. She got REAL ANGRY! when I told her I already pleaded guilty to a Class B misdemeanor harassment charge. Wanted desperately, I think, to take this to trial; thereby increasing her fees?????? I would represent myself {and risk having a fool as a client} before I would hire this woman.

Ms. Hess was retained for a contested divorce. She worked on my case for three short months, went to court with me twice. I had paid her $17,000 and have recieved no child support, no maintenance, no results!!!!! NOTHING!!!!!! Now my family and I are out of money that we didn't have in the first ...place. That woman is so disorganized, she is mean, yelled at me, called me with wrong information, billed me for the wrong case, called me the wrong name since my phone number was on the wrong file, and charged me late fees when she was pre-paid!!!! And then she told me I had to talk to my ex and come up with a custody agreement. That is NOT MY JOB!!!! I would never recommend this woman to my worst enemy!!!!

ann is a very bright and caring attorney. she has represented my family on numerous occasions, including real estate transactions, a divorce and a few speeding tickets. i have always found her to be caring, thorough and attentive to even the smallest details. i have been very satisfied and would reco...mmend her very highly to anyone.
