You can't go wrong

Annie is highly talented and a very good lawyer. I believe she is absolutely the best family law/divorce attorney. Annie was able to guide me through my divorce without ending up in court. She really had my son and I's best interest the whole time. Annie is extremely good at what she does and is alw...ays quick to respond. There is no need to look elsewhere for a lawyer. Annie is the real deal.

Excellent Attorney!

Annie is an excellent attorney! She is always prepared, professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Annie is always quick to respond and has thoroughly walked me through whatever situations have arisen in my case. She clearly holds herself to a high level of professionalism and genuinely cares for those s...he is helping. Annie's hard work and ethics truly stand out, making her an amazing attorney in and out of the courtroom.

Hands Down Best Attorney in OC!!!

I hired Annie to represent me in my Child Support case. This was a long drawn out battle caused by opposing party and Annie was incredible through out the entire process. She was informative, patient, incredibly confident and knowledgeable. I was secure and very well taken care of during the pre tria...l and the actual hearing. She never would over charge me or nickel and dime me for anything. She was extremely fair with her charges. You will NOT be disappointed if you retain Annie. She is one of a kind!

Fantastic attorney

Ann Coleman was personable, thorough and extremely knowledgable in every aspect, however the best thing is that she made me feel like I was her only client. Annie never missed returning my calls in a timely manner and was easily accessible at every point during my case. She is very professional and... honest. Annie is so experienced, not only with the legal aspects involved, but she also knows most of the opposing counsel you may face and the judges you will be assigned as well. If you are looking for an attorney to bend the truth for you or to use shady practices to win your case, then this attorney is not for you. If you are looking for someone to straighten out the bents truths from opposing counsel and to present your case in an honorable, legitimately legal and riteous manner, then hire Annie Coleman. She wins the right way.

EXCELLENT ANN ROCKS!

Ann became my attorney in the middle of a 3-year long divorce. She's skillful, knowledgeable, always prepared, and a quick learner on complex family-law related financial issues. Because I was hands-on with my case, Ann worked closely with me, always provided me with strategic options and thoroughly-...researched legal advice, and never forced me into any decisions. She was fair and honest with her billable hours, and she allowed me to carry out many tasks to keep costs down. Ann always kept me informed and always returned emails/phone calls promptly. Ann has substantial court experience; she's savvy about working within the framework of the family court and child support systems and has an obvious rapport with court staff. In fact, Ann successfully won me in court a very favorable Ostler-Smith bonus obligation and helped me reduced monthly support significantly. During the final settlement negotiation, Ann worked tirelessly and persistently into the 11th hour and never once lost hope. She even delivered the final judgment packet to court in person just so that I could be divorced before the end of the year! To anyone going through a divorce or dealing with ongoing family-law issues, I strongly recommend Ann. Please talk to her before retaining a lawyer (initial consultation is complimentary, by the way)! Thank you for everything, Ann!
