Posted by Andrew | November 24, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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!!

Assertive effective attorney

Ms Ansay effectively represented me in a family court matter. Knowledgeable, thorough and very familiar with Ozaukee courts and applicable laws. I would recommend her.

Professionals from Start to Finish

I turned to the office of Atty. Jean Ansay when I needed professional assistance to settle my mother's estate. What initially seemed like an overwhelming task was broken down step-by-step by Atty. Ansay and her capable staff. They outlined steps that I needed to take while they worked on other issu...es behind the scenes. There were times during the lengthy process when I met with staff at the office. Those meetings were always well organized and I would leave with the sense that matters were moving forward. At other times, brief phone calls or emails were all that was needed to clear up an issue. The fact that it took over a year to settle the estate was due to delays caused by outside institutions over which Atty. Ansay's office had no control. I was pleased with how things were handled throughout the process and would definitely feel comfortable recommending Atty. Ansay's office to others. Additionally, I appreciated their billing process. The time involved by staff to address a particular issue was clearly listed on the bill and there were no surprises.

Review for Jean M. Ansay

I've know Jean for 15 years since she handled my divorce after 38 years of marriage. I have always been confident and appreciative of her advice. I trust her and believe that she has my best interests at heart. She recently advised me in the updating of my will and revocable trust. I depend on he...r and am happy to have her as an adviser and friend. She works diligently for her clients.

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.
