Excellent representation from an experienced attorney

I tried out a couple of divorce attorneys before finally -- and fortunately -- hiring Ann. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I was in a difficult position in the settlement negotiations and Ann hit exactly the right balance between sugar-coating my position and hopelessness. She used her exper...ience to give me clarity on where I stood and what the least likely and most probably outcomes were -- and helped me to make an informed decision on settlement. I have never hired an attorney before. Ann made the process as straightforward as possible, helping me get through the 9-month process in better shape than I had hoped. She is wonderful to work with and lends a very human touch to what would otherwise be a grueling ordeal. I cannot thank her enough for helping me.

She Got the Job Done

Facing a divorce can be very challenging, especially when young children are involved. After 1 ½ years going in and out of court with other unskilled attorneys, Ann took-on my case and completely turned my horrible situation around immediately. Ann was a saint during the most difficult and overwhelm...ing time in my life. Ann is strategic and reasonable, who has her client’s best interest in mind. She strikes a perfect balance of legal expertise and compassion. I am very pleased with Ann and her paralegal’s professionalism, honesty, and integrity. I truly wish Ann was my attorney from the beginning of my divorce. I put full trust into Ann’s team, and therefore, highly recommend Ann Gushurst should you need a skilled, ethical, hard-working family law attorney. Thank you for everything, Ann.

In it for the long haul!

I can't recommend Ann highly enough. I hired Ann for my divorce back in 2007 - she was incredibly knowledgable, rigorous in her defense of me and my best interests, and yet kind and compassionate during what was a tremendously difficult time. Over the following nine (!!) years, Ann has stepped in ...numerous times to assist with lingering legal issues related to my ex-spouse and has been incredibly helpful, responding to my questions and concerns with sage advice and immediate support. I'm so grateful I was referred to her and would recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking a true legal partner.

Start with the Best Lawyer...because you definately get "what you pay for!" Don't waste your time or money with any other lawyer

Learn from me. I should have hired Ann Gushurst (Gutterman & Griffith) the best, most reputable, strongest and compassionate lawyer the FIRST TIME! Don't do what I did. I initially hired a "nice" divorce attorney. My husband didn't want to hire an attorney to represent him. About the time we ...were going to reconcile, my husband hired a divorce attorney known using intimidation and combative techniques to bully other attorneys. My husband's attorney "outlawyered" my first attorney. I saw the bullying happening and I was scrambling to find a new lawyer while legal deadlines where flying past me . Hiring a new lawyer in the middle of a case is not easy, as the legal profession seems to follow a protocol, avoiding clients like myself who want to terminate an existing lawyer and hire new legal representation. I am a educated, executive woman. I had never hired a lawyer before so I didn't know that you need to hire the best from the very beginning so that you are legally prepared for the worst case scenario. Here's what else you should know. Ann Gushurst and her team, not only are top lawyers, but also they treat their clients with dignity and compassion. They understand that sometimes even the smartest client needs to have legal situations explained in layman's terms. It is with the upmost confidence and firsthand experience that I recommend you hire Annn Gushurst now to represent your best legal interests. Please feel free to call me with any questions you have regarding this professional and very personal recommendation. Amy M [phone number removed]
