Beware

I hired Anne to do a child support adjustment and parenting plan modification. The parenting plan modification failed and so the support adjustment was thrown out along with it. I was also penalized thousands in opposing legal fees. The opposing lawyer warned her that they would ask for CR 11 fees ye...t she advised me to proceed even though she could find no argument which was different than when I tried previously to modify the parenting plan on my own, pro se. On top of everything, Anne sent me her bill after the hearing and it shockingly was 5 times more than the opposing lawyers fees. She gave me poor advice, filed forms wrong, padded her fees, she didn't even put my name on top of the child support worksheet and the commissioner embarrassingly called us out on it in court. I would reccomended that anyone thinking about using her service should avoid her at all costs. She has made an already bad situation unimaginably worse for me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
