Anna Christine Brace

I am recently divorced and Anna represented me in a very challenging financial and custody battle with a very difficult judge, and and even more difficult ex-husband. When it comes down to duking it out with your ex in court it sadly isn't about who is right or wrong, but who has the Better Attorney.... This is where hiring Anna proved to be my best decision of the entire process. Now I have primary custody of my 4 children and my husband paying what he owes. She's stands her ground under pressure and knows how to position herself for best negotiating power. Divorce is an awful process but it is so much less stressful when you hire quality representation. She knows the law and everyone at the courthouse which also will work in your favor, she is so well connected there. Hiring Anna changed my life- I am so happy now and my life is way less stressful. :)

There was little to no communication with Anna Brace after the first meeting when I hired her. You only get to speak to her assistants. She was not interested in bringing the divorce to a conclusion, just interested in billing me. I fired her and finished the divorce myself! At one point without... informing me, Anna Brace hired another attorney, from Riverside, to make a court appearance for her in my behalf. Her office told me that it wasn't necessary for me to appear at the court. I did go to court and that's when I found out. This was a simple divorce case, 6 year marriage no children. She dragged it out for over a year, billing me thousands of dollars a month, until I fired her and finished the divorce myself!

Anna did not take my interest seriously. She was not available. Double books herself at courthouse. Doesn't return phone calls. Very interested in getting her bills paid immediately. Serious lack of priorities. Didn't have any strategy 1 week prior to court. When questioned about unpreparedne...ss, became irritated. Got new lawyer and received more information in 2 hours than Anna gave in 6 months.

She was very personable in the beginning. Once we were in the midst of things, she was not interested in my best interest. When expressing frustration with the work being done (or lack thereof), she would not return my telephone calls. I would NOT recommend her as I feel her interest in my case dw...indled once funds were depleted.
