Tough, Compassionate, and Exceptionally Effective

Ann has an uncanny ability to balance toughness with genuine compassion. She is exactly who you want fighting on your behalf, while also holding steady, emotional space for you throughout the process. That combination is rare, and it matters deeply when you are navigating something as emotional and h...igh-stakes as a custody case. While Alexa and Hannah handled much of the day-to-day heavy lifting during my year-long custody battle, Ann was the strategic force who stepped in at precisely the right moments. Like a perfectly timed pinch hitter, she brought clarity, strategy, and decisive insight when it mattered most. She is exceptionally bright, savvy, and deeply determined. Before coming to Ann’s firm, I had worked with five other attorneys. The difference was immediately clear. Every attorney on her team is top-notch, and the level of coordination, intelligence, and professionalism across the firm is outstanding. Ann herself is always cool and collected, yet completely present and engaged in the issue at hand. From the moment I met Ann, I knew she was the right person to go up against my ex-husband and his not-always-ethical legal team. The experience was so positive that I now refer anyone facing divorce or post-divorce custody issues directly to her firm. Every friend I have sent her way has had an equally positive experience. This firm is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend Ann and her team highly enough.

I highly recommend Ann Grant

I highly recommend Ann Grant for anyone going through a divorce. Her compassion and efficiency was so comforting during a very difficult time in my life. Although it was a collaborative divorce there were times things got heated and Ann was able to dissipate the tension with her calm demeanor. She pr...otected me and made sure I received everything I was entitled to. I felt empowered having her on my side. Above all I felt she truly cared about me. I now have a life long friend and not just an attorney.

Divorce guru

I was referred to Ann Grant in 2020 when I filed for divorce. Ann was professional, honest and direct. She did not beat around the bush and waste my time, as every second counted $$$. My initial meeting with her took longer than anticipated because of my long list of questions, however she made ti...me for me and never rushed me. My circumstances changed in the divorce process whereas my husband and I went thru a separate mediator instead of having individual attorneys. Ann stayed on retainer as a consultant for me whom I could run all my questions by. She gave me good information and suggestions on what and how to ask for things while going thru the mediation. She was a great guide and was flexible to continue to help me. The only 2 downsides: 1. she got very busy during my divorce process, but I just had to make an appointment ahead of time instead of spontaneous calls and 2. fees are very high, but you get what you pay for and she was worth it. She is still stellar and worth 10 stars -I have referred others to her !

Integrity, Expertise and Compassion

Ann Grant and Brittney Stone are consummate professionals. They always took the time to actively listen to me and validate my questions and concerns with their thoughtful responses. They provided timely, and stellar legal advisement throughout my case, delivering their counsel with compassion and car...e. They have a very qualified team, from the front office staff to the paralegals to the billing department who always treated me with kindness and patience. I recommend Ann Grant and her practice wholeheartedly.

Director of Sales

I could not have asked for a better experience during a difficult time and it was because of the work that Ann Grant and her team put into getting my case closed. I never had any doubt that they would work to get me the best possible outcome, and they did. My questions were answered promptly & my fea...r of the process was eliminated after my first discussion with Ann. Despite challenges presented because of COVID, my process flowed smoothly. Ann and Brittney Stone made sure that everything was in order and completed in a timely manner. Their understanding of family law is vast, there were no questions that went unanswered. If you are looking for a lawyer and a law firm that will walk you through the process from start to finish, Ann Grant and her team are where you should go. I never felt lost or confused by the law because it was explained to me clearly and in a way that I could understand. For such a life changing experience to be handled so cleanly was a gift. I knew that I was in the best hands possible and that proved to be true. There are not enough stars to rate how pleased I was with Ann Grant, Brittney Stone and their entire team. If you are in need of Family Law I highly recommend reaching out to Ann Grant.
