Ann S. Rothstein

Ann handled my case for additional placement when my daughter was five, 8 years later, based on the agreement she helped me win, I have a healthy relationship with my daughter, and I'm a big part of her life. She was clear, concise, and handled the case with a ton of respect and patience, and ul...timately was a major reason reasonable I have a great relationship with my daughter today. Thank you Ann!

Ann is amazing. I chose Ann after a failed attempt at collaborative divorce. The whole collaborative process had left a bad taste with lawyers who charged me a retainer and then for hours and hours of meetings that did little to nothing to move me toward divorced. Ann cut through all the baloney that... I was getting from the other attorneys and helped move me from frustrated to divorced. She doesn’t have a swank office that you visit and get charged for every moment you are there. She doesn’t have staff that answer her phone and charge you when they send a fax. Ann simply tells you where you stand, what you should do and gets things done. Listen to her. The first weeks working with her she laid it out simply for me and over the following months I took her lead and I ended up with shared placement and custody of my son (which my former wife was adamant that I would NEVER have). Everyone knows Ann in the courts. She is tough, she is usually right and she is fair.

My wife hired an expensive, high powered lawyer to file a divorce action against me. I hired Ann and she responded immediately. She met after work and quickly ascertained the facts. I realized immediately that she was going to be aggressive and relentless. She prepared me well for the first court ...hearing at which I received equal placement of my children. I was thrilled because I had mistakenly moved out of our home, prior to consulting Ann, and my wife came into that hearing having primary placement of our children. Ann was able to convince the court commission to give me 50/50 placement. Since my wife made more money than I did, she was ordered to pay child support. My wife was not happy about that. Because of Ann's strong performance at this hearing, she was able to work out a final agreement that continued the equal placement and child support. I also received one-half of my wife's 401k. I did extremely well. I have a huge relationship with my children and financial security. Ann was there for me day and night. She was well prepared and diligent. I couldn't have done it without Ann, she was invaluable. I recommend her highly.

I hired Ann when taking my ex back to court for custody of our children and was able to build and maintain a successful case with her assistance. Ann gave me a very personal experience - we're on a first-name basis; I am able to reach her at a time when all other attorneys would simply shut off thei...r phone, ignore the call or I'd be told I could "leave a message"; she walked me through what was going on each and every time we had a hearing or paperwork to be filed. Once she's in a courtroom, she's right on point. If you want to be foolish, feel free to waste thousands of dollars on other attorneys who can't go toe-to-toe with Ann on her knowledge & experience.

Ann has been an absolute blessing to me and my child in our custody battle. She is available by phone at all hours and has met with me well past "regular" business hours. She loves the "fight" and has helped me create/ maintain the relationship I deserve to have with my child. Putting the fate of... your child’s future in someone else’s hands is a scary task. However, Ann calls me regularly and keeps me informed of any updates to the case. In fact, my child and I refer to her as “Auntie Ann”. I am so pleased I found Ann and would highly recommend her to anyone else in a difficult divorce/ child custody case.
