"Ann is an excellent attorney. She knows the law well and prepares cases thoroughly. She is also well-liked by colleagues and can get cases settled. She is truly an asset to her clients."
"Ann is a fantastic family law attorney. In working with Ann as opposing counsel and co-counsel, I've always appreciated how thorough, thoughtful, compassionate, and tenacious she is in representing her clients and achieving their goals. I wholeheartedly endorse her."
"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."
"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."
