Horrific experience!!!!

This was the most horrific experience of my life. I asked to have her appointed to my case. To represent my children, to make sure they had a voice. She stated to me oddly at first mtg, she knew opposing attorney personally but would not be conflict of interest. SO WRONG. All kinds of red flags, tol...d my oldest, she must be making up stories in her head about her father. When we got to court, she took stance with opposing side COMPLETELY. She railroaded me. Gave me children to a sex addict, who habitually acts out and has mental issues. There were no regards to welfare of my girls. She totally prosecuted my inside court room. Never one question to the father who has all the issues that needed to be addressed and looked into. Stay at home mother of 18 years, totally prosecuted and lost her children. Some due to the fact I could not afford a high priced lawyer and second because I trusted a woman who was suppose to have my children best interest at heart. She was clearly on the side of my ex.'s Lawyer, not any child. She clearly had an agenda in place before she ever even me with me. My WARNING TO YOU , please find someone else. She is an old woman who is well past her years in the game and needs to leave. She is not in it for the children any longer, as this case was so obvious in the end. Talks a good game but BEWARE she is just a witch in disguise. PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF CHILDREN, FIND SOMEONE ELSE> RUN RUN RUN away from her.

VERY STRESSFULL

Annie lee is working as my child attorney so this is very,very Important! Well needless to say she will not answer any of my questions via email, voicemail and just multple calls. I said something about my emails and everything that was going unanswered and she replys she has never recieved ANY! Anni...e has now been on I believe 3 vacations in very important times. I've also noticed her one sided ways, which is a big no no! Working as a guardian ad litem for a child you are not suppose to be on one side vs the other. Well going on a play date with the other side amd her grandchild is VERY wrong! I've even comunicated to her how I feel so attacked everytime I do happen to hear from her. I would never ever recommend this Attorney. The job of her right now is to do whats best for my childs best Intrest not her friends best Intrest.

Save your Time and Money

As many others have stated, once she gets her retainer fee it is really hard to get any communication with her. I was a client back in 2014-2015. Multiple emails, voicemails, and in-person notes were not responded to timely -- if at all. She came HIGHLY recommended, and I'm sorry to say I had to r...etain another attorney because I couldn't deal with the lack of communication. She seemed to know her stuff, but it added a whole extra layer of stress to an already stressful situation.

A lot of money to pay for a lack of communication

I hired Annie Lee on the recommendation of several respected attorneys in town. Imagine my surprise when she turned out to be incommunicative after charging me hundreds of dollars. Emails and phone calls went unanswered for months. Finally, my now ex-husband and I filed for divorce ourselves, which c...ost about $50. Do not hire this attorney.

Annie Lee Jacobs is a fantastic lawyer

Annie is incredibly experienced and very well respected. She has tried virtually every type of family law case there is. And, she's personable. I do not hesitate to recommend her to others who need a good lawyer.
