Do not recommentd

I was a client of Ann Gill for the appeal for divorce case #10CA0820. CASE WAS COMPLETELY LOST!!!! This attorney violated Professional Codes of Conduct: 1. Lack of diligence. She was not honest with me. She told me that after reading transcripts she would notify me if it would be worth to appea...l. She even didn't read ones. She referred me to other attorney without my consideration. Both of them continue to proceed the case and billed me for two attorneys. 2. NOT COMPETENT!!! AS IT APPEARED THEY MISREPRESENTED THE CASE. 3. Fees: According to her health status she was not able to handle the case, but she withhold this information and continued to biil me. 4. Complete lack of communication.

This is the same former client (see above) whose complaint was dismissed with prejudice for lack of evidence. Her greivance was also dismissed for lack of evidence.

Thanks to Highlands Ranch Law Center and Anne Gill

Had a divoce case that was completely mishandled in district court. The only thing my trial counsel did right was to refer me to Anne Gill and the Highlands Ranch Law Center PC. Anne and the rest of the staff used their knowledge to force my ex to settle on very favorable terms.

Couldn't be happier

Anne is extremely intelligent and competent. I hired Anne to appeal my divorce case. She was FANTASTIC, even when she had to deliver difficult news. Good news is we won on most of the issues.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
