Anastasia M. Prendergast

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 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.

I started this journey with Ana Prendergast Jan 2013. She has been consistant and diligiant for my rights. Despite the many frustrating court issues with my ex she maintained integrity and poise. She fought for what was in the best interest of my children and myself. I never questioned her direction ...because she was experienced and professional. She was more than my lawyer, she was my advocate. I would recommend her to anyone having to go thru divorce, custody or breach of contract. She helped me through all three issues explaining the entire way and alllowing me to see the bigger picture. She is a true professional who cares about her clients.
