Could not have a better attorney representating me, in any matter I have faced

Anne has represented me in several charges, in a manner that strongly proved my innocence, that won my cases. I truly appreciate and admire all her hard work, I would never go to any one else but her for assistance needed. Rick B. ~ St. Pete Beach, FL

Fantastic lawyer and follow up

We hired Anne Borghetti to represent my stepfather for a federal crime case. Anne provided details of the steps involved in this case. She was professional, courteous and meticulous on reducing the charges. We were anticipating getting some type of punishment but Anne was able to get this case thr...own out. Anne provided excellent follow up and continued to provide periodic updates. I highly recommend Anne and would hire her again if the need arises.

An absolute pleasure to have her defend me.

Anne helped me through the entire court process, fought to reduce my charge, and continued to be friendly and helpful, while remaining professional unto the end. I consider my self honored to have had Anne Borghetti as my Attorney. Choose her, and you will see the results you expect.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. This is perhaps the best trial attorney I have ever seen. I have been a criminal defense attorney, practicing in the state of Washington, for 31 years. I had the pleasure of representing co-defendants in a 3 month long trial in the Middle District of Florida, where Ms. Borghetti has won more trials in the past 5 years than ANY of her colleagues. She is smart, savvy, quick on her feet, while remaining calm and collected. If I ever needed a lawyer for any matter, she's the one. Anyone would be foolish to choose another attorney. She deserves national recognition for her innate abilities and superior professionalism. I endorse her without ANY reservations!!!!!!"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Anne for the majority of her legal career, first as a public defender, during which time I handled many cases as opposing counsel. She always presented herself as a highly prepared and strong advocate for her clients and proved to be a worthy opponent. Since that time she has earned the same reputation in private practice in both state and federal courts. I highly recommend her."
