Shifty

I hired Anna for a custody case. It was a very urgent matter and she assured me that she was a very great trial attorney and that she would be there for me 100%. She said that once she is someone's attorney she is committed to do her very best! I never received her best, I never received call backs, ...or explanations. I never knew where we were in the process or when my "defendant" was in communication with her. She refused to see me during business hours, always on a Sunday, and when I would arrive on a Sunday she had every other client there on a sunday as well and I never had my turn. She is very Passive aggressive, because I felt like I could trust her with the way she encouraged me, the way she said she was working so hard on my case, I felt at ease at those times. However when it came time for me to ask her about the progress she would get so defensive and become extremely rude. I came to find out it was because she really didn't know know the legal process in which she was doing. The money she took compared to the work she did, did not add up at all. I am right back at square one and as if no attorney was ever hired. I would not recommend her as an attorney, she does not know the business. I have had several attorneys, have been a paralegal and I will tell you that she has many clients, only because there are only 3 in this area. She emails your judgments, she texts your responses, and she will get very defensive and never take responsibility. I am very uncomfortable with her practicing law and you should really think twice before hiring her. Both her values and ethical systems are wrong, along with lack of knowledge. I have read her responses and she has said the same thing to her negative reviews"I can tell you this person was not a client of mine" just goes to validate me when I say how "shifty she is. When you hire an attorney to be on your side you TRUST them to be in your best interest. She is not, she is about the money and about herself, not about learning the process of law and the best interest of her client, the welfare of the life, lives at hand.

Replied last September 09, 2013

Unfortunately you can't please everyone. This person paid me a small amount and then never made payments according to contract. The bottom line is that I could not continue to work for free. The fact is that these last two complaints prior to my comment here represent a change in my business model. I will not represent people that do not keep their end of the bargain. I am very generous and follow through to the end; I am very frugal and my client's interests are my highest priority. You can read the prior reviews. I am hard worker. I work nights and weekends. I meet my client's on Sundays because I want to focus only on them. The business week for a trial attorney does not leave the time to give full focus on a client. Also, in the field of family law emergencies abound. My client's get my cell and I am highly reachable. This complaint involved me sticking up for myself and protecting the interest of my other clients. In addition, what this person doesn't say is that we actually did incredibly well. Sometimes getting good orders doesn't translate into making the person happy. I did a great job on this case. However, I had to make a crucial business decision. I wish this client the best though. I honored the client by working very hard. Let me work hard for you.

Great work

I was referred to Anna by a friend. I was looking at some harsh punishments from a pending trial. She helped me come out ahead and I was very satisfied by the outcome and the efforts on Annas work on the case. I hope that my wife didn't write the negative comment about Anna because at the end of th...e trial I believe we were both happy.

Good Review for Anna in English and Spanish.

It has been a pleasure to be able to have had all the help on this very destressing matter. Anna ia a very good lawyer who really looks for all the needs of her client not only business but personally worries that her cliento really gets the best treatment she worries very much about her client as a... person and not just about the bisiness. I am very happy with her work on my case it was really quick and the outcome was really wonderful she has a heart of gold and reaslly works for her client she cahrge quite well she really did alot of work without charging she is a very dedicated person always considering the person always looking out for the future always lloking out for what couls ha[ppen later realizing that a divorce is very hard and she is really compassionate. Yo lo recomiendo a Anna como la mejor Abogado en lake County porque defiendo los derechos de sus cliente y lo toma como personal y es muy compasivo. Ella se esfuerza a buscar todos los derechos para uno que tiene Hijos con necesidades especiales. Ella trabaja mas alla de lo comun para ver que el resultado sea mejor para el futuro de uno. Ha sido y sera un placer para mi tener alquien tan professional que me representa en este caso tan dificil y emocioanal. Ella sirve para ayudar en al campo Hispanol porque tiene traductor as su dispocion y a la hora que uno sea acessible. Y tiene listo un Detetive en caso de buscar mas informacion. Que tiene que ver con evidencia del caso.

A True Angel who Cares more about her Clients than their $$$

Anna is the first Attorney that I have ever met that truly cared for her Client, instead of their Pocket Book. She is totally down to earth, approachable, knowledgeable, and has no problem taking on the local "Good Ol Boy" Attorneys" that have dominated the Courts with their 500.00+ hour Fees, and s...he has been winning against them. She is an Angel in her Office and a Pit Bull in Court. She thinks out of the box and knows what is truth and what is fiction. She will fight to the death for her Clients. Her energy is amazing, she works weekends, and late nights to get the job done, and done right. She has the resources of the finest Private Investigator and other related professionals to help out as needed. It's truly a family, and there are more hugs than handshakes. I got to meet "James" who has commented below, as our cases were going on at the same time, and I agree with everything he says. If you need an Attorney, and your ex has lots of money and has hired some high priced Attorney in an attempt to play dirty thinking the one who has the most expensive Attorney Wins.. WRONG.. Hire Anna. Not only will she do an incrediable job, and everything possible, you will also end up with a Wonderful Friend and money left in your Bank Account. I cant say enough wonderful things about Anna. I was truly blessed when I retained her. Thank you for all you do Anna!

A true God of Law

I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to a lawyer that I feel embodies the very fabric of her profession. She not only represented us in court but fought with every ounce of her being for the rule of law and the rights of her clients. When roadblocks were put in her way to defend her client...s she not only drove through them but was fully prepared and able to produce witness's and evidence in a moments notice. She is highly ethical and will never falter under pressure. This is an attorney who will sacrifice for the rule of law and lives by the true ideology of what the legal profession stands for. I have never known an attorney who has fought as hard or has stood as strong for the rights of her clients and for what should be ruled as fair and just in accordance with the law. This is an attorney who with nothing but her knowledge and the steadfast associations she has made will not only prove your case but will mount evidence that cannot be disproved or trivialized. I have worked with several attorneys throughout my 57 years and Anna Gregorian is the only attorney I have had the privilege of working with that I take great pride in knowing and is a true mentor for me in all that is right in law. This is an attorney that you want in your corner. This is an attorney you want for when the fight is hard. This is an attorney you want for when all might seem lost as she will light your way and guide your path to truth, justice and the legal freedoms of the American way. This is not a large legal firm lawyer with several employees to do her work for her but a single lawyer with unrelenting vigor and a no nonsense approach to law. She will be honest with you and provided that you have been honest with her, she will work to the end to prove your case. This is an attorney with more energy and drive then anyone I have ever known and when it get's tough she will not rest nor give up but instead will redouble her efforts and continue through until all avenues for justice have been exhausted. While handling our case she was able to win 5 other cases for other clients and still astound our opposition with what she produced in court to win our case too. I not only recommend this attorney but would think it a foolish move not to consult with her prior to any legal situation. She stands for her clients and for the law and I not only endorse her for representation but urge anyone looking for representation to first consult with her and listen to her for her advice.
