Highly Competent and Professional

Such a skilled, professional, kind and competent attorney. She is patient and empathetic, and very trustworthy.

Legal services

When we started out, there was a lot of distress. A lot of confusion. Not everyone has a good head on there shoulders. Not everyone knows what to say, what to do. We were terrified. But all that was short lived. Miss Anita kay made us feel peace, and allowed us room to breathe so we could plan. I'm g...reatful for her services. I would recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation. My experience will bring me back to her services if needed in the future. It's hard to find someone that works with you like she did. We are very greatful.

Got me justice, go me a dismissal

I retained Anita for what people call a "white collar" crime. I was accused of filing false insurance claims with my business and was charged with many felonies. I felt targeted and treated unfairly by investigators. When I hired Anita, I knew immediately she was the best choice. After many month...s of public humiliation, financial loss and fear, I always relied on Anita's advice that she would do everything she could to fight the injustice. In the end, I received the best news that Anita got my entire case dismissed. Anita is an amazing, smart and tenacious attorney and I can't imagine where I would be if I didn't hire her. Thank you Anita, I owe you a lifetime of gratitude.

4 year representation

I hired Anita 4 years ago when I was falsely accused of several felony counts. Recently, a judge dismissed my case. Anita believed in me and became very passionate about my innocence. Ms. Kay is professional and easy to talk to. Her support for my wife and me is much appreciated. Anita will continue ...to represent me for my medical board hearing.

Excellent attorney

I met Anita Kay under incredible duress when I presented her with my insurmountable mountain of legal troubles. Anita effectively explained my options and then proceeded to lay out her plan of action; a detailed plan which she carried out with precision and effectiveness throughout the entire proces...s. Her strategy and commitment produced a huge, unexpected victory!! I am forever grateful for her knowledge, drive, intensity, perseverance, straightforwardness and determination. Anita Kay is an outstanding attorney who provided incredible support during a very stress-filled time. She kept me fully informed along the way and I always felt prepared and well represented. Thank you Anita Kay!
