Tough, smart lawyer

Anne Beletic represented me in my divorce. She was professional and focused from the start. Anne met the opposition counsel’s repeated dirty and unprofessional tricks head on and presented a cohesive and organized case. Because of her astute skills, the judge was presented with a crystal clear c...ase in support of me keeping my 401K moneys because my ex had squandered his 401K and hundreds of thousands of our community funds. She taught me not to be wasteful of attorney fees by focusing on the most important points and not getting stuck ‘in the weeds’. She is a smart, tough attorney and a bargain for what she achieved on my behalf. I would strongly recommend her to help you to protect your assets.

The Attorney You Need

Anne Turner Beletic guided me through the divorce with a balance of compassion and knowledge. Anne's years of experience was evident as she counseled me on decisions that had to be made and handled the courtroom appearances with professionalism and skill. Through the entirety of the process Anne a...nd her team were attentive and thorough, I would highly recommend Anne Turner Beletic.

Excellent Experience

My only regret is not hiring Anne from the beginning. My first attorney was unprofessional and left me at a huge disadvantage. Anne quickly got us back in the fight and was patient explaining the process and my rights as a father. My ex was abusing alcohol and putting my son in danger. Anne brought ...in the right experts to testify and educate a newer Judge. At the end of it all, I was awarded primary custody, child support and ongoing testing for my ex whenever she has possession. Divorce is a terrible thing but if you must do it, make sure you have amazing Attorney, make sure you have Anne Beletic.

Father's rights

My divorce was finalized in 2003, so I have had enough years to provide a long term review. Anne is someone who will not get caught up into the emotion of a divorce, as that can become long and costly. Her efforts are used strictly to get to the intended goal, not to waste time (and your money) to ...fight an unnecessary fight. In my case, the other counsel was much more interested in filing wasteful motions, writing unnecessary letters, etc...basically being a needless impediment in the process. Anne would not go down those rabbit holes, and she stayed above board and on point. In my case, I was in Kaufman County, and, as a father seeking rights to my children, the odds were astronomically against me. I hired Anne after the initial temporary orders had been submitted, and had to undo the mess that was done by my first attorney, and it was quite the mess. She handled it skillfully, tactfully, with great poise, and was ultimately successful. She never left me wondering if I was being fairly represented, as it was evident at each and every interaction. I could go on and on about Anne. She set the groundwork for a modification to the original orders 5 years later which ultimately had the children move in with me, and I was the primary custodial parent. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. With Anne, you get the best.

A Lawyer You'll Want To Have On Your Side

I was referred to Anne by a close friend and client of hers. I had a very difficult case involving a lack of child support payments, child custody, and international complications. Anne not only stayed focused on the case and ultimate goal, but was not afraid to offer her professional expertise and r...ecommendation on next steps. When we had differing viewpoints on the path forward, she listened attentively and worked with me on a solution that was beneficial to all involved. Anne was always focused on the children and ensuring the final results were in their best interest. Her tenacity, attention to detail, experience, persistence, and "don't mess with me" attitude make her a top notch lawyer you'll want to have on your side.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I struggled for a long time to find someone to refer my clients to when they have a family law issues to because there are so many attorneys in that area of law who just plain don't care about their clients the way that I do. Ms. Turner has been a breath of fresh air. She is an excellent attorney. I refer all of my clients with family law issues to her without hesitation. My clients who have had those issues have been happy with her representation. Also, since we work in the same building, I know that she is without fail the first person in and the last person out. She works very hard for her clients. I strongly endorse this attorney for all of your family law issues."
