Custody

Ann assisted me in obtaining the custody I desired. She was very understanding of my children's needs while dealing with my ex-husband. I am so happy I chose Ann as my attorney.

Posted by anonymous | September 01, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Professional, Prepared, and Personable

We have a blended family and we really wanted our children to have some consistency in the school they all attended. We had seen Ann a few times to get her advice on how to proceed without having to take legal action. Her goal wasn’t to spend our money and take us to court if it was not necessary. A...fter our best efforts we were served with paperwork and going to court was imminent. We only had two days to prepare before we had to see the judge. Her team communicated what we needed to bring and have ready before we arrived to discuss our plan of action. During this meeting Ann did something that truly impressed me, she used our kids names when referring to them (Made us feel like we had a friend and we weren’t just another case). The day of court (a truly dreadful day) when we arrived Ann was already there asking us if we had any questions or concerns about the plan we had made. Her professionalism was astounding, you could tell the judge respected her and listened while she spoke. Our preparation was apparent and paid off completely!!!!! When we left the court room, my husband said (and I Quote) “I could Kiss you right now”. She truly took and tough experience for us and turned it into a triumphant day! All of our beautiful children started school this week and are loving that they get to see their brothers and sisters every day. We honestly believe if we would have had a different attorney the end result would have turned out differently!!!

Best Family Law Attorney

Divorce and child custody can be extremely stressful for all parties involved, but Ann lessens the negative impact with her honest and skillful approach to each matter. She handles each situation with integrity and great care. The legal system can be frightening, since everything is out of your con...trol and there are so many unknown variables. However, I knew that I had the best family law attorney that I could ask for, and someone that genuinely takes an interest in her client and their overall well being. She is honest, passionate about her job, and most importantly, she will fight for what is in the best interest of the individual and their children. She is wonderful at listening patiently, handling complex matters, and always remaining fair/balanced.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
