Outstanding Attorney for My Divorce Case

I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and representation I received from Anna during my divorce case. From our very first meeting, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal process, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt informed and empowered every step of the way.... She was always responsive to my questions, patient with my concerns, and professional in every interaction. What could have been a stressful and emotional process was made much more manageable thanks to her guidance and calm demeanor. I truly felt that my best interests were always the priority, and I appreciated how efficient and compassionate she was as throughout. I highly recommend Mrs Anna M. Parise to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy family law attorney. Thank you again for your excellent service!

Adult adoption

I had hired Anna to assist with the adult adoption of my step-child, so that I could legally be their father. The process was fairly straightforward and I appreciated her and her team ensuring that the forms were filled and filed correctly. She explained everything every step of the way. On the date ...of court she represented our family and we were able to get the adoption granted. My only suggestion for future clients, is an additional preparation session to make sure everyone is prepared.

Take your money and run, to another attorney.

I spent entirely too much money on her services, not realizing until the end that she was not trying to help me because of my "family dynamics " I quote because I still have the email. She talked to me like I was an idiot. Never let me speak really. I could not ask a question that she would answer. ...She did not respond to emails. She treats her clients like they are slop under her shoes. I regret deeply that I employed her. I lost way too much time fighting a battle she let run. My children paid the ultimate price for her ego and prejudice. She also mixes up her clients. I received emails for other clients "by mistake" I asked for my file, which I am entitled to and she did almost everything in her power to avoid me getting it. Included in my file also, was inter office communications about other clients.

Very happy with outcome

Anna Parise was excellent at reminding me of the large-scale goal, while also listening to my concerns. If I needed her again, I would hire in a heartbeat. Thank you, Anna!

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.
