Excellent Attorney

I originally hired Ann about 10 years ago for a nasty custody dispute. Ann was professional and kind at a time when I needed it. Ann also did not give me false hope and was completely honest with me. She also can be tough when the situation calls for it. She was able to predict with 100% accuracy of ...what the judge was likely to decide. It was the worst time of my life and we had a positive outcome. 2 years ago my fiancé and I hired her again, this time for a custody dispute for his daughter. Again Ann was professional, kind and honest. Again we had a positive outcome and gained custody of his daughter. I trust her completely. I would definitely recommend her services and I also suggest doing what she tells you. This woman knows what she's doing!

Family, Divorce

Ann became my third lawyer in an ongoing divorce case. She was by far the most honest, sincere, well prepared lawyer i have ever had. She made sure she had all bases covered pre-hearing, had me well informed to procedures and process. I only wish i had started with her in the beginning. I highly reco...mmend her in her expertise of law.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Tessneer and I were opposing counsel on two rather long and complex matters. She was tireless in advocating for her clients, but also knew how to choose her battles. Perhaps most importantly, she conducted herself in a professional manner throughout the long, sometimes contentious litigation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
