Highly recommend!
One of the best lawyers I have experienced. Above and beyond in representing my case. Reviewed all details and options about the case and made sure all the facts were well presented.

Help
Ms Bishop advised and facilitated a plea to a traffic citation that might otherwise have caused me additional troubles.

My son's 1st speeding ticket
I am really thankful for what Anne did for me and my son. The consequences these days are tougher than they used to be and you really can't mess up even once. It is good to know that with the right representation you can help lighten the penalty and continue your life. Thank you so much

Outstanding Service
Hired Anne for two separate cases several years apart. She made some frustrating situations as pleasant as they could be. Got the results I had hoped for each time. Was prompt, professional, answered and replied quickly. I could not have been more impressed with her. Highly recommend!

Rock Star!!
Ms Bishop went above and beyond to assist my daughter with her traffic offense. She was able to consult with another jurisdiction to come to a favorable conclusion. We really appreciate her stellar work, dedication and determination to make this negative situation into a better outcome. Thanks agai...

"I have worked with Ms. Bishop on more than one matter. She is always professional, timely and treats all clients fairly."
"I hired Anne as a law clerk when after her first year at the University of Georgia Law School. She was one of four clerks, and turned out to be the best researcher, best writer and the most dependable law clerk. The other clerks asked HER to read over their memos and briefs before submitting to me. She has been a strong an steady Gainesville attorney for three decades, and is the type of reliable and smart attorney that all lawyers should strive to be --- detailed, dedicated and honest to a fault."
