Anne Michael Williams

I spoke to Ann Williams on the phone to interview to represent me as a grandparent and proceeded to have the most negative experience I have ever had with an attorney in my life. She kept interrupting me and told me that I would not be able to get grandparent visitations with my granddaughter at thi...s time, so get over it. She was abrupt with me, and refused to even take a look at the document my Pima County attorney and I drew up or to even consider some of the other options I have been told, such as filing a Motion to Intervene in order to recapture our grandparent rights. Ann would hear none of it. The phone call ended with me in tears and her telling me that I would be better off with someone who was giving me better advice (with the disclaimer that she highly doubted anyone could give better advice than her). Her unpleasant demeanor makes me wonder how she gets any clients at all.

Anne was hired by us and she gave our daughter the best gift life can give. As a third party fighting for Temporary Guardianship to Permanent Guardianship all the way to Adoption we hit the jackpot with her incredible knowledge, guidance and advice. We had quit a fight ahead of us and it was a long... journey as well. But Anne never ever let us down. She never missed our court dates, she was on top of everything instantly and she walked right next to us the entire time. Yes she can come across a little aggressive at times. However, there was a rhyme or reason for it always. Her ability to pick up on the "other sides shady and narcissistic ways" was unbelievable. She picked up on things going on with that other side without me trying to explain it. That was huge. When the end was near and our beautiful daughter was finally adopted, we knew we had just made a friend for life. Anne was all about our child's best interest first and she succeeded in giving our child a safe stable home with her true parents (us who raised her majority since birth. Our daughter has always known us as mom and dad, so this was a very special and happy ending for her. She will be safe and forever deeply loved for life now. This was a very tough fight like you wouldn't believe. Anne got us through it and I learned how to even be a better parent from her. She's wise, she's sharp as a knife and she will work so hard for your child's life and well being. Thank you Anne. You saved Emma's life and after 7 long years all the suffering is over. Anne literally held us up and she never let us fall. If you need to get a child out of danger and are willing to just listen, follow all her rules without arguing ... Anne WILL fight for the child and for you as hard as she can. She sealed our family. Gifts and thank you's are never enough. Our feelings for Anne go deep. She will always be "OUR TRUE GUARDIAN ANGEL."

We attempted to meet with Anne and was met with an overly aggressive approach. We changed our schedules to fit her schedule and she was not considerate or thankful. Other highly talented attorney's do not charge a consultation fee but Anne does. Her retainer is nearly $2,500 more than other highly ta...lented attorney's. It appears that she cannot afford or is not successful based on her shared office space. She came to the consultation with a chip on her shoulder and no respect for the possible client! We did not move forward with her services.
