Posted by DORIAN | October 22, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

REALATIONSHIP FOREVER

Attorney Jean M. Ansay was referred to me by another attorney friend of mine in the Milwaukee area. My only request was." I wanted the Best" and boy did I get it for my Child Support fight. Her team and I became friends, family, enemies, partners and my psychiatrist. Jean was passionate about being... fair in the battle and protective of me and all my personal and business affairs. She informed me prior to agreeing to hire her that the process was going to be somewhat unpredictable but they were going to do everything in their power to take all the pressure off me and allow me to go about my day to day life. One thing I was advised of was that 'You hired me to be your attorney and I take pride in doing so....so let me do my job and represent you in the utmost professional manner you deserve. I honestly do miss them...WOW..did I say that?

Exceptional Representation

Attorney Ansay represented me throughout my divorce. She was kind yet firm, knowledgeable yet approachable. She and her incredible office staff were quick and clear with communication throughout the entire process, including follow-up questions after the divorce was finalized. If you are looking for ...someone to guide you through this emotional and overwhelming time, know that Attorney Ansay is truly the best; she will be an advocate for you and keep the best interest of you (and your children) in the forefront of everything. I am so thankful that she was on my side.

Superb legal counsel

I have retained Attorney Ansay on 3 ocassions. I have found her to be very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, & ethical in all of her dealings with me. She instills confidence & I have always felt well represented by her & her staff. I most strongly recommend her as legal counsel.

Jean and her team were exceptional. My divorce case was complicated with many moving parts. Jean took the time to thoroughly understand all issues and methodically work through each one. Jean was thorough, detailed, meticulous and honest. Unfortunately, my case did not settle and we were forced t...o court with a two day trial. Jean was outstanding. The ruling was close as good as we could have hoped for and that can only be contributed to Jeans preparedness and stellar presentation in court.

Family Law Matter

Jean was very straight forward and prompt in her responses with me as to how we would approach my family legal matter. In addition, Jean tried to use practical common sense in dealing with the other side. The other party was not reasonable or prompt with their requests or responses. At the end, Jean... was able to bring this matter to closure with a very fair and satisfying final result. I would have no problem using Jean in any future legal matters or consultation needs.

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.
