Honest Direct and Supportive

Anna is an excellent attorney. She is very knowledgeable and was responsive to us with all of our questions. She is empathetic to how sensitive a child custody case can be but at the same time she is aggressive when she is in court. Highly recommend Anna for family law.

Knowledgeable & Honest

Anna was excellent in guiding us through our process. She was knowledgeable and honest about what we could expect. Anna took the time to make sure we understood what was happening and why. Her and her staff were very responsive to our questions and wishes. Documentation was always on point and on ti...me. I would highly recommend her.

Serious Lawyer

Anna is definitely all business.She knows the law especially as it relates to Lake Country. She handled my husband's attorney compitantly and cooperated in determining the final divorce decree.I would have liked a little more hand holding but she did respond when I reached out for answers to any prob...lems.

No stars wasn’t an option

First off I never actually met her face-to-face. She never asked to meet me to go over my case. I was trying to move my case to Ohio from out of state and modify my child support order Very little work done. I had to ask my California case worker to explain to me what my lawyer was supposed to do. Fa...st forward one year later my case is filed with the state only to request that they accept it. 2 months go by and no one calls or emails me or bothers to check on the status of the request. I’m now out $1200 and have a bunch of kindling for a fire. My case wasn’t important enough or expensive enough. Very poor work. Felt as if she had better things to do than worry about my case. Don’t bother unless you have money to burn.

One star is too many

Was referred to Parise from a family member to resolve custody issues because she was supposed to be "tough". After reviewing my case she said there were violations from ex that we had a case for, took my retainer and proceeded to do nothing. rarely returned emails, failed to file other offenses ag...ainst order, often times did not have slightest clue what we discussed weeks before or what was even in my agreement in the first place. When called out on this two months in told her I was going elsewhere and she told me she was a "rockstar" and had been caught up in a guest lecture and to give he a chance. Regrettably I did and after six more months and a felony charged against my ex she wanted me to sign what amounted to be a worse agreement and still never handled what she was hired to do! Stay away

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.
