Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have worked with Ms. Bishop on more than one matter. She is always professional, timely and treats all clients fairly.
William Head, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 12, 2016
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
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.
