Anne Rebecca Fokstuen

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody ...and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attor...neys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Ms. Fokstuen came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with move-away proceedings (although my ex ended up agreeing to the move early in the process so we didn't end up going to trial), and helped me draft a stipulation, as well as helped me through some difficult situatio...ns that came up. She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.
