Quick and efficient!

Anna Bush was my third - and thankfully my last - lawyer to handle my divorce. The two previous lawyers I used (with different firms) was absolutely terrible! An associate recommended Anna and she was competent, a straight shooter, quick, efficient, very smart....everything you want in a lawyer! And ...she has a top notch staff. Everyone there was professional, yet also caring and compassionate. Highly recommended firm. Thank you.

Excellent GAL Attorney

I highly recommend Bush and Heise. I believe Anna has done everything in her power to protect my children's best interest. Anna is straightforward and does not pick sides. My children come first in her eyes. She was in constant communication with my lawyer, myself, and my ex's lawyer as well. When an... emergency arise, Anna was quick to return my phone calls. She has told my children to contact her office anytime if they feel a situation is unsafe or alarming to them. The rest of the staff are understanding and willing to help. When I speak to Julie regarding payments, she is friendly and helpful. She never made me feel like all she wants is money. The receptionist Andrea is cheerful and polite. I have never felt disrespected in any manner. I thank Anna and her staff for their continued support. I highly recommend Anna and her wonderful staff to others.

Great attorney

I was referred to Anna by a mutual friend's neighbor. She told me that if I was looking for a "new friend" to hold my hand during a unpleasant situation and someone who will work hard for your best interest that Anna Bush was the attorney for me. She was correct on one of those statements. Not onl...y did Anna constantly look out for my best interest and my child's she was also a very patient and compassionate person. Even when I was losing hope and becoming more and more emotionally exhausted during my divorce she always kept me going with a positive attitude as well as being patient, understanding and to finally end my divorce. She never gave up to all the crap that my ex and one of his two lawyers tried to put me through. Anna always had my back and my nest interest at heart, as well as my child's. Everyone knows how expensive a divorce can get and again Anna was patient with my payments and understood my financial situation and worked with me. Also, all the ladies that work in her office were also very helpful and understanding. Answering any questions I might have had talked me through a lot of paperwork and documents. So, thank you for that ladies. My experience with Anna Bush was great and like I said before she helped me through a rough time and was always there for me. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a strong and competent lawyer. Thank you, Anna Tina

BEWARE!! GREED AND ZERO HEART

DO NOT HIRE. Horrible experience. Mislead during the consultation, not transparent of the process. The amount of pain after a ugly divorce is real and there is NO heart in this office. The staff made many mistakes and very poor communication. Totally regret hiring this firm. Do not make this mi...stake.

BE CAREFUL

Had her several years ago and I found my ex hiding money and she dragged it out so long it went beyond the 2 years and I lost the right to it. Not even worth a star People in her office are the rudest I have ever met. One thought I was on hold when in fact I heard her complaining rudely about me.... I lost more than 50,000 and still upset about it. Had to fire her and hire someone that actually can do law.
