Ann M. Paradis

We hired Ann to help us with an issue we were having with our daughter's IEP. Our district was not providing us services, and Ann and her office helped us file the complaint to our district. After that, she went through all the different approaches we could take to deal with our district detailing, t...he advantages, risks, and cost associated with each. When we had our resolution meeting with the district, we elected not to have her in the meeting since it meant the district could not bring a lawyer either. However, Ann detailed exactly how the meeting would go and helped us organize all our paperwork and information for the meeting. During the meeting, we felt confident and prepared, in fact, we felt more prepared than the district. The outcome of the meeting was that the district gave us everything we asked for including costs accrued. This was a slow and stressful process, so it was very helpful to have Ann and her team walking us through each step of the way. She was very knowledgeable on the aspects of the law that surrounded our complaint and that helped us greatly to advocate confidently for ourselves. I would highly recommend Ann if you have any issues surrounding educational disability laws.

I was a client of Ann Paradis from November of 2015-March 2016. I had received an unfortunate and wrongful dismissal from a graduate school academic program in October of 2015 and sought Ann's legal assistance. Ann was clear with me in the beginning that the school had committed a number of violation...s and that she would help me fight for justice. These violations included mistreatment, retaliation, and denial of due process rights. I noticed that after I had agreed to hire Ann, it became more and more difficult to get a hold of her via phone or email. On two occasions, she sent out letters to the school with multiple errors before receiving my approval. She seemed very irritated that I did not approve of this. I had put in a great deal of time organizing my documents and evidence that were pertinent to the case, but I never got the feeling that she thoroughly reviewed them. After spending three weeks drafting a letter for Ann's review with the help of a family attorney, Ann unexpectedly sent me an email, stating she was declining to provide any more legal assistance. She refused to even read the letter that I had spent so much time on. Now, I must hire another attorney and pay another hefty fee just to get them on board with my case. I would be extremely hesitant to hire Ann as your attorney for any matter.

I see all these good reviews and im shocked because I questioned why she was in family law. She didnt seen to put her all at fighting for my family. Also when I had a court hearing she wasnt prepared and didn't have a very inportant document. I felt cheated and had the nerve to bill me even after I c...alled her out on the things she didn't do.

Ann and her paralegal Ariana did a bang up job with my case. I never felt over-billed for their services and always thought the quality of work was very high. I'm hoping my issues with my daughter's mother will never arise again, but if they do, Ann will be getting more business from me. Thank...s Ann! - Jimmy

Attorney Paradis was just amazing. She worked very quickly in a very short period of time (less than 48 hour turnaround). A local hospital had filed for guardianship of my mother due to her deteriorating health condition. I was unable to have a more active role in my mother's care due to the fact ...that I live out of state. So, I begin to search the internet for an attorney. I found Attorney Paradis website. I called, and she answered. She perform my initial consult right then and there on the phone. She requested that I send her a copy of the legal documents that I had received, in order for her to determine whether or not she would take the case. And she did decide to take it. She went to court and allowed me to have a voice in the courtroom, when I could not be present in court. I am forever grateful for her assistance in winning my mother's case. Overall, she is an amazing Legal Professional with a heart.
