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.

Best family law attorney in Galveston County

Anne represented me in my divorce/custody case. I had been represented by one attorney before her and switched to her based upon a referral of a friend. My case was heading downward until Anne came in and picked up the pieces. Her and her staff kept me informed and if I ever wanted to speak directly ...to my attorney I did not get the run around as I did with my previous attorney. After a long hard fight I kept the custody of my children and was awarded a fair property division. Thanks Anne for caring for my case like you did!

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.
