This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Beware

I finally obtained another firm and cut my losses with Barbara. Believe me the loses were substantial. She was ok until my ex hires a lawyer competent, motivated lawyer to oppose her. After that she became pretty much entirely unenvolved in with my case except to keep asking for new retainers repea...tedly. She proved to not care about much of anything but her own personal gain. Don't put yourself or your childrens interest in her hands is my advice.

I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the representation you received. I do not recall this matter but I do strive to give every client sound legal advice and competent legal representation. Client satisfaction is of the utmost importance to my practice. If you would like to discuss this matter further with me, please feel free to contact me directly.

A Great Lawyer

She is an excellent attorney. She walked me through a very difficult and complicated divorce. I came out better than I ever thought possible. I just couldn't say enough about her and her staff.

Barbara Ancira - a great attorney

Ms. Ancira is a true professional, passionate about getting the absolute best legal counsel and defense for her clients. She is well studied in her legal profession and she continuously researches the law to stay current and provide detailed counsel for each specific case. I have used Ms. Ancira to... defend me in a long-term child custody battle with an extremely difficult ex-spouse and she has proven to be absolutely remarkable.
