The BEST Divorce Attorney in Orange County!

I am beyond grateful for Anna’s incredible work as my family law and divorce attorney in Orange County. From the very beginning, Anna showed immense professionalism, compassion, and dedication to my case. She was relentless in fighting for my rights, and her aggressive yet caring approach made all th...e difference in ensuring I received a fair settlement. Anna’s knowledge of family law is unparalleled, and her team was always there to support me with timely updates and clear communication. I was treated with respect every step of the way. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better attorney, and I highly recommend Anna to anyone going through a divorce or family law matter. Her expertise and care made a difficult time much easier to navigate!

Great Caring Attorney! Took care from start to finish with knowledgeable staff!

Anna Brace was such a great attorney and helped our case from start to finish! If you have any family law & child support issues she is absolutely the best in Southern California! We used many attorneys before working with Anna and she had quick response and great communication as well as a well educ...ated staff ready to answer any/all of our questions!!! Anna Brace definitely made my life better and reduced stress through this process. Highly recommended A+++

Very Bad Attorney

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!

Excellent Service During a Difficult Time

During my divorce, I was initially represented by another attorney who did not communicate with me, return my calls,and kept me in the dark. I hired Anna and that changed. Anna and her office emailed me status on my case and provided me email copies of all documents prepared in my case. When we got... to trial, I was prepared and Anna got me more than I initally requested. I was very happy with Anna and her staff. I have referred her to numerous friends who have all been happy with her service.

Family lawyer | May 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Anna is intelligent, personable, and tough, but very good to work with. Family law requires a very delicate hand, requiring an attorney to be tough but fair and exercise reason to advance their client's cause. It's not all about beating the other side into submission - that's not good for families. Anna is a well balanced attorney, an effective advocate, and does the very best for her clients."
