Professional Collaboration Leading to a Fair and Amicable Resolution

I had the opportunity to work with Attorney Anne Fokstuen on a divorce case, representing opposite sides. Despite the inherent challenges, we were able to resolve the matter peacefully, ensuring a fair outcome for both parties. Anne’s passionate and strategic approach helped foster an environment wh...ere the family could part ways amicably, leaving as friends. Her dedication to her client’s interests, coupled with her ability to collaborate effectively, made the process smoother and more constructive. Anne’s professionalism and advocacy skills are truly commendable. She is an excellent family law attorney who genuinely cares about achieving the best results for her clients.

Excellent attorney

Ms Fokstuen is an excellent attorney; in addition to a very strong knowledge base she is also fair and supportive. Anne’s competence, direct approach, and consistent reminder of what was fair enabled my divorce to be as amicable as was possible given the circumstances. Her calm demeanor was invaluabl...e during what was a highly emotional time. I can’t thank her enough!

Competent, caring, and professional.

I don't write many reviews but I felt compelled to put in a few good words for Anne. I recently completed a very contentious divorce that lasted over 2 years with Anne's help. What I thought would be an amicable divorce quickly turned into hell, and an act of revenge. Through it all Anne kept a l...evel head and guided me through more crap than you could imagine. In the end, Anne was able to negotiate a very fair settlement am thankful I hired her. If you are reading this I would highly recommend Anne, and I am sorry for what you must be going through ...MR

Wonderful family attorney

I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was ...like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

Your go-to lawyer in divorce case

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in... divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3. Anne has extensive experience in dealing with Chinese family cases, and she really understands the culture aspect of it. 4. Anne is compassionate, she truly cares her clients. You will feel this when you meet and work with her, examples are just too pale. It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.
