I was shocked to find an Investigator at my door on September 12, 2013. A former employer had contacted TPD with a scurrilous accusation alleging my wrongdoing. That employer also practices law. The allegation was preposterous. Ms. Dias met with me immediately. Over the course of this last week I w...ould estimate that she communicated with me, cogently and informatively at least 100 times. The difference between this fierce advocate and so many other attorneys, such as my previous employer was her willingness to communicate. She actually returns phone calls and e mails. Furthermore, she is surrounded by brilliant people, including a young lawyer named Laurel. I know criminal law. I have had the joy and time to intently study the essential elements necessary to convict in white collar crimes. I could have been blown over with a feather when Laurel and I began discussing the concept of ratification. Even with seasoned attorneys I have never had a discussion on ratification and where the attorney understood off the top of her head the implication of that doctrine on fraudulent negotiable instruments. Laurel knew it cold off the top of her head. She is brilliant. What was refreshing was the Ms. Dias gave all credit to her staff member Laurel. And that is a sign of not only a decent human being, but one that is comfortable with her own achievements. After meeting with the Investigator today, and the remarkable ability of Ms. Dias to break down complex legal arguments into bite sized bits that the Investigator was able to understand, this absurd allegation is now history. The Investigator did not even find enough Probable Cause to send the allegation on to the State Attorney. Anabelle Dias is a dream attorney. If you have the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head, fearful that law enforcement is about to cut the thread suspending that sword, contact this remarkable trial lawyer. I have known and met some of the best lawyers in the country. I have known and done work for the two most respected criminal attorneys in Atlanta, one who practices in the state system, the other in the Federal system. Ms. Dias and her staff are head and shoulders above these lawyers, who are the best the big city has. Tis one thing to be brilliant, but an attorney who surrounds herself with brilliance is a fierce opponent to the ubiquitous and pervasive forces that are designed to imprison so many of our citizens. You cannot go wrong by hiring Anabelle Dias and her incredible staff.

Anabelle just handled our son's case. He was charged with three felonies. It was his first offense but there were extenuating circumstances. We were lucky to get a sympathetic judge but Anabelle went to bat for us. She understood the case and was able to prevent jail time and get a light sentenc...e for our son who just made a poor judgement while attending FSU. I would definitely recommend Anabelle for all of you parents who have kids attending FSU because when they are away from home for the first time, they can get into some trouble.

Anabelle has been the most wonderful lawyer I have ever dealt with. She has worked so hard on my sons case and got the best plea you could possibly get for especially with a minimum mandatory sentence. She definitly believes in our Lord Jesus. With her prayers and awsome knowledge, I am able to deal ...with my son being gone for a little over a year...Thank you is not a strong enough word to describe her work...
