Excellent family attorney

We were referred by our regular attorney to Anna as the best family attorney in the area and she is. Aside from being an expert in family law, Anna understands the people and processes in both the Lake County and Cuyahoga County courts. Anna worked us through a difficult and emotional legal case ...with extremely positive results. We can't thank Anna enough.

Grateful

We met Anna Parise outside the Ashtabula County Juvenile Court where Children’s Services and others were going to decide the fate of our granddaughter. We had been caring for her since she was 2 months old at the bequest of Children’s Services. Nonetheless, we were not allowed into the courtroom af...ter all we had done and had been through. Anna, as our attorney, went into the courtroom and arranged for us to sit in the periphery of the room. Somewhat later, Anna stood and announced that we would be contesting placement of Sophia with both her father and mother because they were unfit. You could have heard a pin drop. Working in concert with Anna, we eventually gained full custody of Sophia and we have maintained custody to this day. All along the way, Anna has been there for us, and we trust she will be there with us as a reliable guide, one who knows the territory, in the challenges ahead. If you want an attorney who will stand with you and fight for you in a life saving effort, Anna is the one you need to consider. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude.

Grateful client!

Anna is highly knowledgeable and diligent in family law. She supported me through my concerns during my recent custody case, and brought to light many different considerations along the way. She advocated particulars of the SPP for my daughter, that (to me) were non-negotiable. She was there to help... explain my options and key decisions for my case. I highly reccomend her for a straightforward and "aggressive" representation.

Disappointment Galore

My experience with her has been so disappointing. Makes for a very unprofessional view of how a lawyer should be. Rethinking all of my decisions now and if I should just start from scratch with someone new, someone who might actually review my case.

Excellent is an Understatement

Anna took care of me from day one. When I first set up services, she talked with me thoroughly about my situation and made me feel heard. She immediately was able to get a read on the situation. She made a plan and followed through all while communicating with me. She allowed me to make my own decisi...ons and think about them, but always weighed in with her expertise and legal advice in the most respectful way. Anna always broke things down for me and would let me know next steps. When the day of the actual divorce came, she was on my team and supported me 100%. I will use Anna in the future and have referred several people to her for legal help. I can’t thank Anna enough for what she did and how incredible she was for me and my family.
