Posted by anonymous | January 3, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very knowledgeable and not out to get your money.

I first consulted with Ann expecting to hire her for a child custody case. After discussing the specifics of the case she was very honest in letting me know that the situation was not complex and didn't necessarily have to result in court appearances. She guided me on the process of mediation and m...y ex and I were able to come to an agreement on the custody terms. With her help, the process was much less stressful than I had anticipated.

Angel sent from up above.....

From our first consultation, I knew I had made the best choice! Not once did I give a second thought about her character. I knew that I could entrust her with all I had. This was my first experience dealing with an attorney and fees, etc. All I can say in a few short words is that she was referred to... me by a dear friend and once she listened to the few different situations I had going on I knew she would take care of me and help me and my children. Today, and The next day after, I will always have much appreciation for having Mrs. Oakleaf by my side and in my path.

Love my lawyer!

I had a very difficult divorce case, it was terrible, actually. I was so grateful to have Ann on my side. She is conscientious and professional. She kept the case honest and upfront. She is willing to compromise in the name of the best interest of her client. She does her best to keep costs down. She... is level-headed and keeps emotion out of it so that costs don't run up. She stuck with me until the end, even though my ex-husband drug out the case much longer than it had to be. She gives lawyers a good name with her integrity.

Highly recommended!

Ann Oakleaf has been dealing with my divorce and my situation has been very complicated. She has shown incredible knowledge in the matter and has always been very quick to answer my questions or concerns. She has been very firm in dealing with the opposing attorneys which I found very impressive.

Fantastic Divorce Attorney

Ann did an amazing job handling my divorce and custody suit. She managed to both get me everything I wanted, and kept me out of court, saving tens of thousands of dollars. She is extremely knowledgeable about divorce law which saved time and money. She was assiduous in keeping me updated, and was con...sistently available to me when I had concerns.

Family lawyer | Oct 12

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ann Oakleaf was my opposing counsel in a case that involved a division of community property including pension rights, separate property claims, child custody, and child and spousal support. Ms. Oakleaf was an able adversary, and she demonstrated a high degree of legal competency. Despite our clients’ understandably emotional reactions to the issues in the case, Ms. Oakleaf always treated me and my client with professional courtesy. Fortunately, we were able to reach a fair settlement of all the issues. I highly recommend Ms. Oakleaf as a caring and competent counsel."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I was introduced to Ann by a mutual colleague. In all honesty, when I first found out Ann was opposing counsel on a matter, I was very intimidated - and rightfully so! Ann is extremely knowledgeable and skilled with respect to all aspects of family law. She also possesses the very valuable skill of managing to be courteous and respectful to opposing counsel while still fiercely advocating for her client. Ann treats her clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I have the privilege of now being able to call her friend. I endorse this lawyer."
