Great lawyer and listener. I would definitely recommend.

Anne helped me with a modification. She spoke to me and my children in a manner you would expect from a good friend. I know she's busy but she always promptly returned my calls. She was never late for court and always came prepared. Anne was ready to bend over backwards to assist me in my case and ne...ver kept anything from me, even when it wasn't good news. Her rates are not over-priced and her staff is always friendly and helpful. I would have no problem recommending Anne to any of my friends or family.

Child Custody Case

I worked with Anne Darring for approximately 3 months on a child custody case that we ended up winning at trial. During preparation for mediation and for trial, I found Anne Darring to be a very good listener and showed a lot of compassion towards the case. She really understood the situation and it ...was obvious that she had studied the case thoroughly. Anne Darring specializes in family law and was very highly recommended which made me feel very comfortable because I knew that I had the best representation.

The complete professional

I would hire Anne Darring again in a heartbeat. I was overwhelmed with the custody situation I was facing. I had interviewed, consulted with, and considered atleast 7 other attorneys prior to meeting with Anne. Though many had the creditials, the office, the staff, the look, the pricetag, or the w...ords, I walked from each conversation feeling uncertain, nervous, and untrusting of the attorneys. Never once did I feel other attorneys were hearing me and mostly just felt they were condescending and minimizing my very real, personal concerns. After consulting with Anne, I hired her on the spot. I walked away believing my case was as important to her as it was to me. I believed as left her office she and her staff would undoubtedly fight for what was just and fair. Never was once did I doubt her sincerety. The best characteristic possessed by Anne and her staff was their ability to educate and empower me to endure an awful situation. Anne and staff are honest and forthcoming, they "shoot from the hip", so to speak. I would and do recommend people to Anne Darring for all family legal needs.

Great Lawyer

I have worked in the legal field for many years and have an enormous amount of respect for Anne Darring. She is knowledgeable and keeps herself family law knowledge current. She is recognized and well respected in Galveston County. She is very personable and easy to be around. Her office staff is... friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in their own right. If - heaven forbid - I were to need a divorce again, she would be the first person I would call. I would recommend her to friend.

Poor service

I used Anne Darring's legal service for a child support mediation case. I had to withdraw her from my case because she refused to contact me at all. There were two court dates that they neglected to tell me about and may case was almost automatically dismissed for lack of activity. My bill was very h...igh, by comparison for work that didn't seem to be done. I do not recommend her or anyone in her office.
