Child Custody

I highly recommend Annabelle Vang for anyone navigating the complexities of child custody. She was an invaluable resource during an incredibly challenging time in my life. Annabelle was not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also compassionate and understanding. She truly prioritized the well-b...eing of my child throughout the entire process. Annabelle is a skilled advocate in the courtroom, but also a calming presence during mediation. She helped me understand my options, clearly explained the legal process, and always kept my goals in mind. With her guidance, we were able to reach a custody agreement that was in the best interest of my child. I am so grateful for Annabelle's dedication and support. She is a true professional and an exceptional lawyer. I give her my highest recommendation.

Best Choice

Both my husband and myself have both hired Attorney Annabelle Vang for our family case as well as civil disputes, her and her firm are by far the best choice we could have made. She and her team are professional, respectful, prompt and have gotten us only positive outcomes. We will continue to work w...ith her for any and all of our needs. If you are looking for a family lawyer who fights hard for you, and has your best interest in mind, look no further!

Professional and personal

Annabelle helped me with what started as a very simple divorce. Navigating me throughout not only the legal process but also being there for the emotional aspect. She did a wonderful job explaining each situation and helping me through the process. I’m very grateful for her and also the help from her... team!

Small Claims, Pet/Property Custody

I was referred to Annabelle Vang when searching for an attorney to represent me at small claims. My case was different from her typical custody placement, as it was to have my dog returned to me from an ex after his refusal to give me my dog back. Annabelle was patient with all of my questions and co...ncerns, helped calm my nerves, and made sure I was as prepared as possible for the court date. My dog was awarded back to me, no doubt in large part to Annabelle. I could not have done it without her expertise. I truly appreciate what she has done for me, and I highly recommend working with her.

Top Notch Legal Representation!

Like so many who find themselves searching for legal representation, the process for me was overwhelming. It was the first time I ever needed to consult and eventually hire a lawyer. I clicked on and reviewed dozens upon dozens of firms and lawyers in and around the Madison area. I made a list of tho...se that made the "first cut" and began digging deeper into reviews. After all, I knew this was going to be an investment so I wanted to make the right choice! A choice that would provide me with the best return on my investment - a legal win! I called and set up consultations with those that made the final cut. One of those lawyers was Attorney Annabelle Vang. I remember hanging up the phone and saying, "this is my person!" Not only was Annabelle professional, but she was extremely knowledgeable, stating her vision for our case. She was kind, articulate, and provided me with a sense of calm, which overshadowed the horrific predicament I found myself in. Above all else, I could tell she actually cared about my case. I worked with Annabelle for the better part of 1.5 years. My case contained some extremely unique situations, some of which the court had never seen before. We faced some difficult odds, adversities, and setbacks. It was a grueling and truly exhausting case, but one thing remained, Annabelle's unwavering and steady hand. She was well calculated, well researched, and well prepared for everything that came our way. During times of stress, she heard me out, offered her honest opinion and guidance, and then got back to work, fighting for me every step of the way. Every email, phone call, and virtual meeting we had was highly productive. She was responsive, creative, and strategic in all our communications. She wasn't there to milk the clock and "make more money" at my expense, which was what so many of the lawyers my friends had hired did to them. Annabelle was always honest with me, giving me the cost of each option. She always gave me a choice and let me decide as opposed to pressuring me into anything. My case finally concluded and despite facing some extremely challenging odds, she helped bring us massive wins! It was one of the most relieving moments of my life and I attribute it to Annabelle. She was exactly the person I had hoped to represent me the moment I got off that consultation phone call 1.5 years ago. She never wavered in her support for me and truly believed in my case. That is rare! She wasn't just working to win, she was working to fight for a cause and she made that cause happen! I am so impressed and truly honored to have had Annabelle stand by my side. She did it the right way and fought tooth and nail for me! I repeat, for me! Hiring a lawyer is never cheap, but with Annabelle you know that your money is being well spent. You can trust her work ethic, you can trust her communications, you can trust that when it gets dark, she'll be the light guiding the way. Don't choose a lawyer that's going to leave you in the dark. Choose one that fights for you and your cause! I am hopeful that I won't need to head back to court anytime soon, but at least now I have comfort knowing that if that time comes, I can call on Annabelle to be there for me again.
