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.

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.

Trustworthy, excellent reputation, and results-oriented

I contacted Anne when I was in need of a protective order against my son's father. Not only did she help me every step of the way in getting that, she is helping me work out some other very complicated details related to a custody agreement in another state. Anne is smart and has a comprehensive un...derstanding of the law, as well as an excellent reputation and good rapport with Dallas county judges. Her level of confidence in the court house was comforting, particularly during a time when I was feeling especially vulnerable. It is important for me to work with a lawyer I can really open up to and hash out some very intimate and difficult details of my situation with. Anne has been sensitive to that, which I'm very appreciative of. I trust her judgement, and I trust her opinions and advice as I'm going forward with planning a future for myself and my child. I highly recommend her.

Divorce from Hell!!!!!

Anne was my second attorney in my divorce. Once Anne took my case she realized why I was in such a panic. My first attorney put me in a terrible place with agreeing to terms I fought against signing. It took us almost three years to get my divorce finalized. Anne and her assistant answered every que...stion I had. They worked with me when I was emotional, mad, and scared. Anne helped me look for the good and to trust in her. Divorce puts people at their worst and Anne stood by me and fought for me. With my divorce in the state it was in when Anne took it over; I would have been lucky to get the divorce with the cloths on my back. Anne knows the laws and worked many nights fighting for my rights. She filed paperwork correctly when needed to stop contempt of court charges against me (due to me first attorney). She worked with me to keep the cost down. She is a Cristian woman with a conscience and a thoughtful and caring professional divorce attorney. This was not my first divorce but I am thankful that Anne agreed to take my case. I honestly don’t know where I would be if it were not for her. In the end, I survived; Anne protected me and helped me keep what was most important to me, my daughter and part of my retirement.

Professional in every way

In matters of family law that involve strong emotions, Anne Turner Beletic guides her clients to rational decisions with honesty and courage. We sometimes found her counsel at odds with our emotionally based opinions; however we were convinced by her loyalty to us as her clients and her professional...ism to listen carefully to her advice. Her clear explanations based on the law and her experience supported her conclusions. Although difficult for us emotionally, we understood she was thinking of our long term best interests. We followed her advice. If we had not followed her advice, our circumstance would not have been resolved constructively. Over many years we have dealt with many corporate attorneys some of whom were known as "the best of the best." We understand that there are no perfect solutions to legal matters. We believe Anne Turner Beletic provided us with the best family law counsel we could have received.

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."
