Anastasia M. Prendergast

Nice person. However, fails to respond to emails, calls to the hired office service are frequently unanswered, fails to advise of any updates in case. (Appears to lack appropriate office support staff). Due to multiple informational mistakes, it has been necessary to preview her work prior to do...cuments being forwarded. According to the contract I signed with her, I have never received even one invoice as promised. I do not feel confident given her disorganization, high fees, or her lack of accomplishment/interest with my case. I regret hiring her and do not recommend this attorney.

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

It was time to update/review our wills, so we scheduled an appointment with Ana. We reviewed all legal aspects.....difference between our will and a trust, financial power of attorney (POA), health care POA, etc. We covered all needed aspects for our estate planning needs. Ana has a very stra...ightforward and honest approach, which allows her to explain complex legal aspects in terms that everyone can understand... enabling them to make the right decisions. She was amazing in guiding us through the necessary steps and paperwork in getting our estate planning properly set...the result being that we now have everything in place should something happen to one or both of us. We have had no hesitation in recommending Ana to family/friends and business associates. It's a very comforting feeling to know that, should we need legal help/guidance, that we have access to people we trust who have our best interest at heart....and the best around.

Ana provided me with a clear and concise plan using her knowledge and insight in a compassionate way to help me arrive at a settlement that was in my best interest. Family Law is difficult, there is a lot of emotional baggage. Ana was able to hear me, and help me process through the emotion and mak...e a rational plan that was fair and respectful. I would recommend her without hesitation, and hope that she realizes what a difference she made in my life, not only financially, but personally.....she was able to provide a degree of dignity and integrity in the process.....not your "usual" outcome in a divorce settlement. Thank you Ana
