Worst Experience Ever $$$$

She wasted so much time and charged me so much money. She said she was going to fight for me, but never met with me and made me write my own case for her. I finally got rid of her and got a different attorney and they finished my case quickly with minimal charges.

Run away

I hired Ann Hess to help me through my divorce proceedings. Upon signing I gave her $3500. Over a years time she alot of paperwork to the tune of $13,000 and then stepped down from my case before we went to court. That's alot of money for no help, I went to court alone.

review

Mrs Hess quoted me about 5000 dollars for my divorce .My divorce there was no assets to fight over no home no car nothing . I was asking for visits for 1 child that my ex-wife had some custody of . She successfully got my visits by getting a law guardian for the child involved . After the divorce was... done I have my visits with my son . I Thank her for that but the divorce came to a whopping 23 thousand dollars . I paid her approximately 10 thousand now I am in debt to her for 13 thousand and she is charging me 17 percent interest on the debt . She even charges me to send me a bill .every bill she send adds approximately 50 more dollars to my bill.I will never recommend her for anyone reme er absolutely no assets at all to fight over.

HORRIBLE AND LEFT ME BROKE

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!!!!
