I focus on uncontested divorces, meaning that the parties are in agreement and wish to have an agreeable dissolution process. Divorces can be tricky and it is my goal to make the situation as low-stress as possible for all parties.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional and caring

This was hard for me, and Anastasia made sure that I stayed calm and let me know that she would walk me through every step. I was pleasantly surprised that she answered all my questions. I knew that I had to do my part and when I felt stressed, I let her know and she guided me through each process. I... am grateful and would highly recommend.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She is very defensive when not necessary.

Let me say the good things first so you don't think I am making this up. First of all, Anastasia did file the divorce amendment and it is complete. Second, On the very first meeting, Anastasia was great. She was kind and thorough. She was specific on stating that she does her paperwork on Friday's. T...his situation is that I already had a divorce that was filed many years ago. All I needed was for it to be amended. Both party's were in agreement to everything. I even had my ex-wife ready to go to Anastasia's office to sign the document once it was filed. Both parties were in agreement, so basically this easy case was handed to her. She didn't hardly have to anything for $500.00. Here is where the problem starts. Aside from this situation, in life I have dealt with several situations in which I was waiting for others to do something. I have learned that you personally have to keep on top of things. You can't wait on others. So, since this was a time sensitive situation, We contacted Anastasia's office the week after we met her, just asking about the status of the case. Anastasia was instantly upset. She said that she was sick and that we had just met with her last week and to give her some time. I could not believe it was the same person. We gave her another week and called and she was upset that I was calling because she said she had email me information. I had not received an email from their office. Yes, I checked my junk email file. So, she re-emailed it to me and I did receive it that time. Needless to say, every time I called her office to follow up, she was defensive every time (It is my responsibility to look out for me and my legal situation). She talked to us like we were children and was defensive for no reason. Heck, I would say we were more than nice when we tried to talk to her. We knew we needed to be on her good side because we needed to have the legal stuff done. It seemed to me that she is super nice on the original meeting so she can get your money, and then right after the money changes hands, her true self comes out. I previously saw a review that said to watch out for this one. I wish I would have looked before money changed hands. You see many positive reviews on here also, I would say they are probably people that she knows. I have been in customer service for 30 + years and was so surprised that we were treated this way. She was working for us. You would have thought she was working for the other side (even though this time both sides were in agreement).

Bankruptcy

Anastasia helped me to file for bankruptcy - she kept me informed and made a scary process super easy. She never judged nor talked down to me - she's honestly great at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone.
