If you want a divorce attorney who possesses an extremely thorough knowledge of legal ins-and-outs, a shrewd, tough negotiator who will scrutinize your issues from every possible angle to ensure an optimal outcome for her clients; someone who drives a tough bargain, but who is particularly adept in ...the art of negotiation and compromise when the situation calls for that, then Jean Ansay is the legal expert you need in your corner. She is not likely to be the cheapest, but her unique combination of comprehensive knowledge of law and business-like but personable approach creates the finest attorney around! Jean Ansay is invaluable as an ally, but quite a formidable opponent! You will want her on YOUR side!! (I will FOREVER be SO glad she was on MINE!)

Attorney Ansay is an outstanding attorney!

I had been in an emotionally abusive marriage and finally gained the courage to get out. Contacting Attorney Ansay and having her represent me was the best decision I made. She gave me the strength and voice I didn't have. She supported and encouraged me to stand up for myself and my children, mak...ing this awful time in my life easier to manage. She worked hard and fast to get the results I needed and I am incredibly thankful to her.

Family Matters

I hired Attorney Ansay to help with a recent divorce. I was able to work out most matters with my spouse and Attorney Ansay provided answers to any questions and/or concerns. She walked me through the process and made sure I was comfortable with the decisions we made while keeping the process simple ...and satisfactory for all. Everyone in her office was professional and easy to work with. I would recommend Attorney Ansay to anyone.

Intelligent

In summary: Attorney Ansay has the experience, intelligence and sensible approach to guiding a very complicated and emotional divorce to reasonable conclusion. While most will likely note her strengths as a shrewd negotiator or her expert experience in business and finance, I most appreciated her... ability to council my emotional state and respect that she worked diligently at finding a fair and equitable solution to all parties involved. There are many abusive and sometimes accurate jokes about the attorney's in this world. If more Attorney's were like Jean Ansay there would be far fewer lawyer jokes.

A Very positive experience through a lot of negativety.

Jean Ansay represented me during a very difficult time in my life. I needed representation during my divorce. She was very understanding and professional and cared deeply about the things that mattered most to me. Although I was financially challenged she took my case and helped me through my situ...ation with open arms. I have 50/50 custody of my son and for the moment my son and I are still in my home. I would recommend Jean to any of my family or friends if they were ever in a situation that required her expertise. She even offered to do my will for free!!

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.
