Anne Laurie Westbrook Gould

Anne Gould is dishonest and did not have my best interests at heart, nor did she care about my children. She created mess after mess and was angry. She told me too much about her personal life that had fallen apart. She is very unprofessional, did not get critical information on the record and fai...led my family. I can't believe anyone would give her five stars. Anne let opposing counsel have his way and ruined my life without any remorse. She shouldn't be allowed to practice law. I recommend that you choose other counsel.

I hired Anne Gould because of my case. She is dishonest, made me look bad in court and missed important court dates. I hired and my attorney Monique-Gilson was able to represent my case well and fired Anne Gould. Anne Gould sent me a bill of $10000 for two weeks of representation, but she was trying... to take advantage of my pastors at my church community. I told her that I was not satisfied with her representation and told her to pay my ex-husband $500 fee for missing the date. She is the worse lawyer you can have in court. The judge asked her to stop running her mouth. She was unprepared and takes advantage of the situation. She also threatened to put me in jail when I told her she owed me money. She charged me several hours of talking on the phone and Kinkos printing. She is deceiving and a liar. Monique-Gilson is the best attorney you can have. She is competent and never made me go to court again. We were able to finish the case without going back to Court. The Brazilian Consul was present in the hearing and told me that I had the worst lawyer. Anne sent her assistant to court, but I believe Anne is the one coaching. I had several people calling me regarding her bill. I told them what she had done to my case and different people were calling me regarding the bill. She charged me for 3 hours of financial declaration and did not delivered to the court. I am reporting her to the Bar Association, but whoever had a bad experience should report her too. Many of my friends had made important declarations and she failed to deliever to the Court on the Court date. She charges for 5 hours of writting a declarations. When I asked her to get my. police reports, she said it was my job. I did everything on my case. She is very dishonest, she should not be a lawyer because of her the lawyers can have a bad reputation. Now I am looking for a Financial job and they reviewed my credit and she said I owed her $14000. She is incompetent and tries to take advantage of any situation. She uses people who work with her.

Lack of competence, efficiency and organization. I hired Anne for representing me with my protection order. She did nothing, but messed up my case even more. I gave my financial declaration, three times and I had to pay $500 dollars to the other attorney because she missed the date. Now she keeps... sending me a bill for $10,000 to send to the pastors at my church. :) I asked for our contract and she keeps sending the bill. I do not know if she understands the difference between our contract and bill. I gave her the $500 in cash to pay the other attorney as the Court ordered, and she made a decision to not pay because there was no due date. My new lawyer had to remind her to pay the other attorney, because that was the money for. She kept saying: When are you going to pay me? I think I should send her my bill for the stress she caused me. On my representation, she sent her assistant Ashley that appeared late, when the judge asked to stop talking about the subject, she kept going, she did not communicate with the other attorney and she was only interested in getting more fight.
