Ann Haley Fromholz

I hired Ann to help negotiate a complex severance agreement for me. She was knowledgeable in all areas of severance and executive compensation and I was very pleased with the outcome. I was able to secure a good severance without burning bridges, which is important since I am going to stay in the sam...e industry.

I retained Ann on the recommendation of another attorney. Ann is personable and very empathetic. Opposing Legal counsel for the company was either non responsive or difficult. I could tell Ann was becoming increasingly frustrated with my case. Then it got to the point where Ann wanted me to speak to ...another attorney, who she recommended. Which I did. This lawyer contradicted Ann on some elements of my case. Suddenly Ann, after approximately two months, recommended I take the original severance offer. I was stunned. And in complete panic mode. I ended up not taking her advice and I interviewed several attorneys and retained a new one. With the new attorney I ended up settling for significantly more than the offer Ann was pushing me to accept. Professionally I had a very disappointing experience and learned how important it is to follow your gut and change representation when needed. Personally I really like Ann and wish things had gone differently for both of us in this transaction.

Ann was very nice and friendly to start. Then for some unexplained reason she totally dropped the ball. I had my consultation. Hired her. Went through my case. She agreed it was a very strong case. I emailed her to ask a question and she asked if I would be available to take her call on a Frida...y at specific time. I agreed. She never called. She emailed again and said sorry she missed, how about the following Tue. I agreed. She never called. I emailed her and she said she was sorry and had been "very sick". So we made another time. This time I got called to work and emailed her to talk to my friend who knows my case. Instead she sent me a formal letter telling me that since I didn't respond to her 3 times for a call that she was dropping my case. I was stunned!! Why would she lie about me?? If she wanted to exit my case that's one thing, but to flat out lie??!?!? I would NEVER recommend her to anyone!
