Anna Christine Brace

Trust your instincts. She was horrible from the start and I should have walked away, but I didn't and I'm paying a hefty price. 1. Billing practices: charging me hundreds of dollars for inner office emails. Emails from her receptionist/para legal to Anna about my case. When my case was done she was ...still drafting orders for the courts, but would not show me the order, just the charge. 2. Knowledge of case: fumbled and left out critical information about my case when presenting to the judge. Over all feeling: she did not care about my case, I lost HUGE, which is hard enough, but certain issues of my case were very winnable. Unprofessional, never shook my hand, first in person meeting was my court date...which she was not prepared for and showed up 45 mins late to! I would NEVER recommend this attorney, but I hope my experience is a one off.

I have worked with many attorneys in the Orange County area with varied results and therefore was looking was researching for another local Orange County attorney on Avvo for my particular case when I stumbled upon Anna's profile. Anna's staff gave me a brief introduction and scheduled a consultation... with Anna about my case. Anna was very thorough in giving options on the best way to proceed and the ins and outs of the legislative process for the case. Although the case was dismissed, Anna and her staff thoroughly prepared me for the many options we could potentially encounter and I feel much more knowledgeable about the situation I was in. Will absolutely consult with Anna again! Highly recommended if you are in the Orange County area.

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.

Used Anna 2 years ago, and was strongly, and repeatedly advised to go to a stronger attorney. The "stronger" attorney was money hungry, did not share info and did not, I repeat did not do what I asked him to do. Opposing counsel walked all over him. Just contacted Anna and hope she'll take me back.... Anna is responsive, available, concerned about my child and me. She's a wonderful attorney that has the skills and smarts to get what she wants.
