Great attorney for estate planning, unconditionally recommended

Did an estate trust for my wife and me. The entire process from start to end was professional, accurate, thorough, well explained, well documented, timely and done at a reasonable price. She was knowledgeable and a great explainer with regards to options. She has done this process many times and is h...ighly proficient and patient with the inevitable questions from clients.

Peace of mind in troubling times

When I got my divorce packet plunked down at my doorstep one morning and found that my soon to be ex husband had hired a lawyer, I realized that I was going to have to hire representation as well. I had no idea where to even start to look! I did a bit of research online and seeing so may good review...s, I contacted Ann Saponara. I realized right away that I made the right call, as she made me feel, immediately, more comfortable about my upcoming divorce proceedings. Ann very patiently, made sure that I understood everything that I was to sign before I signed it. She got me through many months of emotionally packed legal proceedings and never did I feel misunderstood or uninformed. Her demeanor is forthright, friendly and optimistic, her knowledge of the legal system and how to navigate it is impressive. Her advice and her rates are both fair and consistent. Integrity and honesty are very important traits, for me personally, so I feel fortunate, in the extreme, to have found a lawyer with those same values.

Quick and competant

My husband was very ill and we needed a family trust drawn up as soon as possible. Ann was there for us - understanding, speedy, thorough. We could not have asked for better service or a more compassionate lawyer.

"Ann and I have crossed swords twice now in contested will and trust scenarios. She is dedicated to firmly advocating her client's position. She is civil and professional with opposing counsel. She bought girl scout cookies from me when I took my daughter with me to court. Thanks Ann."
