If your looking for strength and grace in an attorney…

Highly recommend. If you’re looking for an attorney that is going to advocate for you to the fullest, while also treating you with respect, compassion and fighting for what you need…. I highly recommend Illana. Absolutely fearless in the courtroom while carrying grace and strength. Super easy to work... with, prompt in communication and gave my case the attention and dedication it needed. Highly recommend for divorce and custody.

Caution

I would like to share my experience with Ilana Tanner. On the one hand, Ilana is genuinely compassionate and understanding, traits that are invaluable in a lawyer. She certainly shows a commitment to her clients, and I appreciated her empathy during some challenging times. However, I must caution ...potential clients about a few issues I encountered. While her services are priced at a premium, I faced several discrepancies in her billing. There were numerous instances of unclear and unnecessary communication that resulted in over $1,200 in charges, which Ilana herself acknowledged should not have occurred. Despite her apology, the billing remained unchanged, and it took over a month for her to respond to my inquiries regarding these discrepancies. Additionally, I found that the communication from her paralegal was often unclear and lacked kindness. The effectiveness of a lawyer can be heavily influenced by their support staff, and in this case, it posed challenges in our interactions. Lastly, when I concluded my engagement with her services, I was concerned by the impression left with the opposing counsel. They seemed to believe I had no evidence and mischaracterized my intentions in the case, which centered around breaches in our custodial agreement and the well-being of our child. I don't understand how this misunderstanding could have occurred given the conversations Ilana had with them. In summary, while Ilana Tanner has admirable qualities and a compassionate demeanor, I believe potential clients should carefully consider the financial aspects and communication efficiency of her practice before making a decision.

Supportive, Communicative, and Compassionate

ana and her team are truly supportive advocates. She walked me through my custody journey, explained everything, was so quick to respond, and offered so much comfort during such a stressful experience. Even after my case is over, Ilana takes my calls and answers my questions that come up. She’s... not an attorney, she’s a powerhouse support system that I’m lucky enough to have in my life.

Highly recommended: Ilana Tanner

Tanner came highly recommended by the president of the Travis County Women’s Lawyer Association. With a challenging situation Ilana took on my case in the middle of proceedings and was skillfully agile in her ability to assess the status and move forward quickly. There is no exaggeration in how qu...ick Tanner began to work. Within a month of placing her as lead council on my case I was authentically represented and awarded rights that were legally mine. This was the beginning of a monthly cycle of progress being made on my case until the matter was majorly resolved. I highly recommend Tanner for matters that require a knowledgeable professional who is quick on their feet. Last I would like to highlight the skill of active listening found in Tanner and her team at The Ilana R. Tanner Law Firm. Not only did I feel heard by her team as they worked on the many details of my case, other professionals involved felt heard as well. The state, medical and family members involved in my case all complemented Tanner in how she “let them speak” when interacting and responded in kind. I have found it is common to have issues with counsel who do all the talking and forget details that are major to the represented but minor to the representatives and judges. Tanner breaks the mold in this area. She will hear you, your family and the professionals working on your behalf. She will answer calls and formulate needed responses in a timely manner. For this last reason, I again, highly recommend her for all legal services and support her efforts professionally whatever they may be. Ilana Tanner is an attorney in Austin who reflects well upon the people, the court and the judges of this city.

The help you need when you need it

Ilana and her wonderful team helped me through one of the most difficult and scary moments of my life. Her confidence, knowledge, and just the right amount of humor helped get me through. Ilana is professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Her team was available for questions and helped to guide me t...hrough our options and the process. Her office is welcoming, comfortable, and easy to access, and it is only a block or two from the courthouse (we all walked to the courthouse together on the day of my hearing). Parking is readily available at the office. As a father who is ready and willing to fight to the end for my kids, Ilana has been a great partner to help me when I needed it. I hope that I don't find myself needing her services again, but if I do, I know where to call.
