Very caring and effective

I recently worked with Anne for a client who owned property in Florida and she and her staff were very attentive and quickly completed the work we needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of estate planning or real estate services.

Excellent Service and Advice

I have worked with Anne for many years, initially with Landlord-Tenant matters after meeting her at a conference where she was a speaker. As the years progressed I have utilized her firm on elder care issues for both of my parents as well as real estate matters. Anne and her staff are very helpful ...and responsive.

had our back

have never had the need for expertise in elder planing so I let my fingers do the walking and they led me to Anne Cartwright law firm. from the very start our case was a mess but the entire staff was all in, then when we had to change the entire plan at the last minute they came thru again. like I s...aid our case was a mess and when it went south due to nobody involved fault they were right there on the front line for us again. I could probably mention that they had to do that at least 3 times with different nursing homes and government agencies. and a year later when I have questions all it takes is a call and I'm sent off in the right direction. would highly recommend them for all your legal needs

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.
