Anne B. Darring, she is in YOUR court

I originally found Anne by her billboard in my town. I hadn't considered retaining a lawyer and thought that my divorce could be handled amicably. That is what my husband suggested we do until I was served one afternoon by his lawyer and came to learn that I would soon have to give up my home and p...retty much be left with nothing. My 13 year old son and I were trying to make it alone with me not making enough to purchase my home from him or my car. Anne gave me insight to the ways of divorce that I otherwise would never have known. I now know that if I were to do as my husband suggested I would be without a home or a car. She helped my through a very hard time in my life through her compassion and knowledge. It was also a blessing to have another woman understand the pain women go through when their husbands tell them he wants a divorce.

Amending Existing Custody Orders

Anne helped me get an expanded possession order for my daughter. She was very knowledgeable and patient in dealing with a diffcult spouse. Every thing she advised me on was correct and in the end resulted in me getting more than I had anticipated. As a result I have a better relationship with my d...aughter and she is with me almost half the time. Thanks Anne!

Child Custody Representation

Ms. Darring, represented my family in a chid custody case, when my son's father tried to take him from me within a month after he was born. She was my second attorney and had to work twice as hard to fix the problems my first attorney had done on the temporary hearing. Ms. Darring took care of my cas...e with compassion, hard work, excellent representation and after a week long Jury Trial 12 jurors decided to rule in my favor. Ms. Darring had won the case for me. The closing argument Ms. Darring gave at my trial was remarkable, she truly captured the reasoning behind why the best interest of my son would be served with him living with me. She always advised me on my case with honesty. I have recommended several people to her and every one of them have been extremely happy with her services. I will always recommend Ms. Darring to anyone needing an attorney even you the reader.

Would not recommend!

Used this lawyer during my divorc several years ago. She did not do her homework even when I provided all the information. Seemed as though she let her assistant handle the majority of my case. Very dissapointed with my results, if she would have spent a little more time reviewing my case and paid... a little more attention to detail it may not have cost me an additionsl 30K. Thanks for the help!!!
