My Advocate

Anna Parise was a true beacon of hope for me during a time I was most vulnerable and when my options felt limited. She stood by me as a strong advocate throughout my complicated divorce, providing guidance and reassurance every step of the way. I can best describe her as professional, strategic, r...esponsive, and highly efficient. I am incredibly grateful to her and her entire staff for their support.

Top Notch

Anna is an extremely dedicated, direct and professional attorney. She represented me during divorce and worked tirelessly to get me exactly what I wanted. She is very responsive to all communication and will always guide you in the right direction. I truly appreciate her and the staff at Dworken & Be...rnstein!

Strong Advocate in a Difficult Divorce and Custody Case

I hired Anna for a very challenging, high-conflict divorce and custody case. From the beginning she was direct and no-nonsense — she tells you the truth without sugarcoating and helps you focus on what matters most for protecting your child and your future. What stood out most was her ability to s...tand firm against an extremely aggressive opposing side. My case involved a difficult, uncooperative ex and lawyers who were highly aggressive and confrontational. Anna stayed calm but did not back down, which gave me confidence in a very stressful situation. She’s also strategic about where to put time and resources, keeping the focus on the issues that really move the case forward instead of distractions. I always felt she was fighting for what mattered most — my child’s well-being and a fair outcome. If you want an attorney who is straightforward, tough when it counts, and keeps the case centered on your long-term priorities, Anna Parise is an excellent choice.

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.
