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.

Amazing Lawyer!

I was referred to Ann by another attorney when my child custody case became contentious. Ann was incredible...a legal "pitbull" in the best sense of the word! She quickly assessed the facts of my case and decided upon a course of action that proved successful. Her writing skills are exceptional an...d this was reflected in the motions she put forward on my behalf. Furthermore, Ann's responsiveness was outstanding. She always took the time to respond to my e-mails and promptly return calls. Having worked with several lawyers in the past, I realize Ann's responsiveness is the exception rather than the rule. In sum, I cannot recommend Ann highly enough. If you have a difficult case and want the very best advocate on your behalf, look no further!

Excellent Divorce Attorney

During my dissolution several years ago, I interviewed many lawyers of good repute before finding Ann. I n her I was represented very well and my interests were upheld during a very difficult time of my life. Ann was formidable in court and made sure that the integrity and fairness of the processes w...ere maintained. In the ensuing years, I have felt comfortable referring several clients of my own to her; and perhaps most telling of all, my former spouse refers to her often as well! Ann is authentic, fair and courteous. She is a fighter when she needs to be and looks out for the best interests of her client without compromising her views or ethical obligations to the law. I found her to be compassionate, open and realistic ~ traits which are necessary whenever one is walking the road of divorce. It helps that Ann can find silver linings in even some of the most discouraging moments, and her optimism and humor serve her well. As a professional who also deals with people during times of stress in their lives, I wholeheartedly would recommend Ann Gushurst with full confidence.
