Posted by Cindy | September 24, 2026 | Hired Attorney

The divorce/custody attorney I wish I hired from day one – Ann.

After a year and a half of hiring other attorneys and never feeling confident in my representation, I found Ann — and everything changed. My divorce was contentious, and protecting my daughter was my main priority. From the moment Ann agreed to represent me, I knew my daughter was in good hands. A...nn genuinely cared about my daughter and what was best for her. She was focused, thorough, knowledgeable, and absolutely fearless. As a protective mom who wanted to keep my daughter out of the legal process as much as possible, I'll admit I was hesitant about a few of Ann's strategies — like having her meet with my daughter and reaching out to the school. But Ann saw the whole board when I couldn't, and I'm so thankful she followed through. My advice: trust Ann, even when a strategy feels uncomfortable in the moment — she is always three steps ahead, and every move she makes is for your child. Her meeting with my daughter is what moved the needle at mediation: she could speak from firsthand knowledge of what my daughter had said, in her own words — not a claim from a parent, but truth straight from the source. And when the school pushed back hard, Ann didn't flinch. She knew our legal rights, she was honest with me about the risks, and she stood firm so we'd be ready if we ended up in court. Bold and fearless — that's Ann. For the first time in over a year, I could step back, breathe, and trust my attorney completely. The morning of mediation, Ann asked me to name the three things that mattered most to me. Here's what you need to understand: none of the three were easy asks. I had heard "no" on every single one of them for a year and a half. Ann walked out of that mediation having won all three — every one of them in my daughter's best interest. A year and a half of "no" became "yes" in one day, because of Ann. And here's what sets Ann apart from every other attorney: her care for my daughter didn't end when the custody agreement was signed. Ann connected us with outstanding therapists — part of the trusted team she has in place for the children she represents — and they have been phenomenal for my daughter. Even now, moving forward after mediation, I've never once felt like I was on my own. Ann looked out for my daughter's best interest while she represented us, and she's still looking out for her after. Throughout this entire process, one thought never left my mind: today's outcome will shape my daughter's future. That's what kept me up at night, and that's why who represents you matters more than anything. If you're standing where I stood — fighting for your child, exhausted, wondering if anyone will fight as hard as you would — trust Ann to represent you and your children. She will step in, take over, and carry the weight you've been carrying alone. My only regret is not hiring Ann from the very beginning. Ann is the best custody attorney, period. Once you meet her, you'll know. Ann — thank you for fighting for my daughter as fiercely as I would have myself, and for continuing to look out for her even now. Because of you, she has the future she deserves.

Legal issues with your Ex? Hire Ann!!!

I have retained Ms. Ann N. Luu, Esquire, as my counsel since January 2024. She has expertly and professionally represented me in various and what seemed like never-ending legal issues with my ex-husband. From Motions to Modify Custody and Child Support, to Trespassing. When I decided to represent ...myself (pro se) in response to my ex's motion to modify child support, she didn't tell me I couldn't do it. She was available anytime I needed to ask her guidance and advice. Her support continued when I decided to file my own Motion to Show Cause, where after years of meticulous financial record keeping, the court ruled that he was in contempt and ordered him to pay 7 years of unreimbursed expenses! When Virginia updated the child support calculator in July 2025, Ms. Luu advised me on how to file a Motion to Modify Child Support despite receiving an order in May 2025. Ms. Luu knows the family court system in Fairfax County. When opposing counseling tried "bullying" me, Ms. Luu informed me of the correct process, what forms I needed to file, my rights in representing myself, and wrote the draft orders. I've had nothing but "Big Wins" with Ms. Luu and I highly recommend her!

Family Law Consultation

Ann, Thank you so much for your professionalism, genuine demeanor, honesty and wealth of knowledge during our consultation. I cannot say enough about the 1 hour that I was able to schedule for a consultation with you. You were direct, but not dismissive of what I am going through at this time for... the best interest of my child. Although you are not my attorney at this time, I would recommend anyone that may be considering or currently going through a Custody and Visitation issue, to consult with you to see how you can assist in securing their child's best interests here in Virginia.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

I began working with Ann Luu in late September 2023 and my case was finalized by Mid December 2023. I have nothing but the upmost praise for her knowledge, timeliness, expertise, and approach. Ann quickly isolated what areas of my legal case needed to be addressed and was very decisive on decid...ing the best approach to ensure a positive outcome that would reduce additional conflict with my ex and most importantly benefit my children. If I ever reached out with a question, Ann responded within 24 hours and if she was in court, a member of her team would let me know when she would be available to respond. If I requested a call, her team was able to help schedule something very quickly. I felt that she truly took the time to understand my situation. I highly recommend Kelly Byrnes Danker & Luu, PLLC and more specifically, Ann Luu.

Best Family Lawyer in the business!

I was referred to Ann Luu by a close family friend. Going through a divorce/custody is the most painful and difficult event in my life to date, but more importantly the future of my daughter was heavy on my mind. As a father/man, I felt there was no hope for me seeing my daughter more than I was (few... hours a week) and being a part of the decision making in her life. Ann was exceptional with my case all the way through trial! She is intelligent, diligent, and compassionate. Ann Luu and her staff were super detailed and made a very difficult process easy. She is a rockstar during trial, very prepared and prepared me for what we would be facing. Thanks to her hard work and dedication to my case, I am finally able to spend time with my daughter. I would hire her again. She is an incredible Lawyer, do yourself a favor and hire Ann Luu!!
