Anastasia M. Prendergast

We had our initial consultation with Ana today, and we came away so glad that we spoke with her. We have an elder family member who's navigating a complicated mental health situation. Ana listened patiently to our concerns and expertly helped us plan a path forwards. If you're looking for elder law o...r state planning services, I recommend her highly!

I retained the services of Jim Siemens for my divorce and was elated when I discovered his associate Ana M. Prendergast specializes in Geriatric Law and Estate Planning. Geriatric Attorneys are inordinately difficult to find. Ana eased the exhaustion and frustration I was experiencing in being the H...ealthcare and Durable POA for an overwhelming, elderly parent. Ana improved the quality of my life and my elderly parent’s life by synthesizing empathy, critical thinking and uncanny listening skills with efficiency, resulting in both short and long-term actionable results. Ana M. Prendergast is also my Estate Attorney and conducts this with expediency. Often during divorce we are unable to focus on “next steps” and Ana helped me realize the importance of estate planning, especially as a single mother. I referred her to other friends who were equally satisfied with her gift in channeling family needs into well-conceived, solid estate planning. A quantitative assessment of 5 stars does not do Ana justice; numerically rating her professional and personal qualities is impossible for me because she exceeded and continues to exceed my expectations. Without reservation, I recommend Ana M. Prendergast and The Siemen’s Family Law Group for any family law related legal needs you may have. They are unquestionably the best family law practice in Asheville. Caroline Asheville, North Carolina

Ana provided my 88 year old mother with exceptional service in the execution of all here legal documents including a Medical Directive, Power of Attorney and her Will. Answered all questions in a kind and considerate manor. She eliminated any anxiety early in the meetings and turned the process into ...one that gave my Mom both comfort and confidence. I was so personally impressed that I decided to use Ana for all my personal legal needs. I have and will continue to recommend her services to others.

Ana helped me prepare a will, power of attorney, and other documents to make my wishes clear as I enter retirement age and eventual infirmity. I have an awkward situation at home, and I felt confident putting my trust in Ana to help me decide the best way to write these documents and fill out my be...neficiary forms. She even helped me prepare a trust for my horse. She is easy to talk to, kind, knowledgeable and thorough. She's especially well prepared to deal with elder law. I recommended her very highly.
