Excellent Attorney

Ana is definitely one of the best attorneys in the business. As a fellow attorney, I have consulted with her on numerous matters. Her depth of insight. legal acumen, effective communication skills and ability to tackle challenging legal issues made her my go-to attorney for years.

Way More Than Just Another Attorney

Simply calling an attorney to request a consultation made me quite anxious. Ana returned my call almost immediately and her friendly voice made me feel a bit better. Driving to meet with her raised fresh anxiety and trepidation, especially the prospect of discussing personal issues, etc. Meeting Ana ...face-to-face, and experiencing her warm, calming demeanor helped put me at ease almost immediately. She was completely approachable and non-intimidating, enabling me to relax and share details and data with her. She answered all of my questions and was exceedingly generous not only with her time but also with her expertise and obvious compassion. I could tell that she was really listening - without judgment. Ana gave me the very comforting feeling that she really cares, and isn't working merely for financial gain. I believe she's genuinely invested in helping people through the difficult situations they find themselves in. I left feeling such huge relief! It's a fantastic feeling to know Ana will be in my corner when I need her. In addition, she got back to me within forty-eight hours with a referral she had promised. I'm very impressed.

Best lawyer I could hope for!

My divorce had been a painful experience with my first lawyer until I found Ana. She was professional and thoughtful. She worked extremely hard to navigate me through this difficult time and worked professionally with the opposite party to bring a closure to my case. She's always there to listen to ...my need and answered my questions promptly, even during late evening hours or weekends. She always provided me with different legal choices and the associated pros and cons (she's particularly transparent and honest on the costs of different choices so I could weigh in benefits/risks and make sound decisions that fitted my need). She was also sensitive about costs and would not mind if I told her that I'd like to spend my own time to prepare certain documents—so I could save some legal fees. During this process, she won my complete trust—I was at ease knowing she's there to look out for my interest and meanwhile I felt good that I was in the driver's seat for my own life. Divorce itself is a difficult journey for everyone who had to go through this; the last thing you want is a lawyer who only cared about making things complicated/hostile so she/he can squeeze every bits of legal fee from you. After experienced the nightmare of my first lawyer, I have so much appreciation to Ana! I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal advice.
