Child custody is the legal term that helps us understand when a child is going to be where and who is going to make what decisions for the child.

Helped me cross the finish line

When it was finally time to have my name changed, Anne made it a fast and easy process. Since then, I have worked with Anne on numerous cases. She is a knowledgable and experienced attorney. She knows how to work with the other side. She knows how to work with the court. She knows how to make things... go right. And she knows how to react when things go wrong. She is a professional attorney that doesn't let people walk all over her. But she also has a big heart.

Best ever

Like most people, I rarely have need of a lawyer. However, when I do need a lawyer, it is always serious and time-sensitive. I have worked with many firms in many cities over the last 70 years. I can say without hesitation, that the Kiske team is absolutely the best in all the attributes that matter.... They are knowledgeable, responsive, and caring. Perhaps most importantly, they are ethical, honest, and trustworthy. I would willingly put my life and my family’s future in their hands. Kudos and thank you for all you do - for the greater good.

Wouldn't choose anyone else!

Anne handled my annulment 5 years ago and my custody case just recently. We started my custody case pre pandemic and finished it up in the middle of it. The interactions were flawless and every step was taken to make sure both parties felt safe. Questions were always answered faster then expected. Th...e first meeting was informative and anne laid out exactly what my next steps needed to be and why. Luckily the father in the custody case and I are on good terms, so Anne made sure no actual court appearances needed to be made. With the annulment case, Anne went above and beyond finding a judge to annul a gay marriage. Driving all the way to the next town to make sure it got done! I would absolutely recommend Kiske Law to anyone. Anne was professional and I always felt secure and knowledgeable about what was happening every step of the way. Worth every penny!

Very easy to work with!

I hired Anne and am VERY pleased that I did. I was concerned about the whole divorce process and how it worked. During my initial consultation Anne was very clear about her expectations, what she could do concerning my case, and how billing worked with her. She eased my concerns and let me know th...at communication between her and I and prompt responses from me were important. Anne acted quickly on my behalf when filing paperwork with the courts for me as my situation was a very sensitive one concerning my divorce. She even stayed late a couple of nights working on paperwork for me. She responded to my questions via email and always gave me sound legal advice. She was never pushy and I always felt that when she was working my case, my case had her undivided attention. I was expecting this process to be much longer than it was, but my divorce took just 4 months to complete start to finish (granted it was uncontested). Anne and her team made a painful experience as smooth and easy as they could concerning the divorce process, and for that I thank them. I would definitely recommend her as a solid choice in representation.

Great Lawyer

Ann was great threw out my entire litigation process. Yes she can some times be a little judgmental but overall she will fight for you no matter what you did. She will set expectation and will tell you what are the possible outcomes. She provided great legal advice at a time I needed it most.
