This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Horrible Ad-litem

She is a horrible ad-litem. Allowed the confidentiality between child and ad-litem be violated. Continually cancelled appointments. Should have excused herself and allowed someone else with availability to take over instead of making families wait months for her and have an abuse case drag on. Mad...e physical abuse sound like it was not overly bad, just happens. Did not do due diligence with both parties on allegations that were made. Contradicted self in conversation and own report. Overall ineffective.

best family law attorney

I used Annie Hayes in my 2nd case. I was extremely upset when I spoke to her the first time. My ex had just served me with an emergency order that gave him custody of our baby. I went first to my old attorney but felt he was not understanding of my concerns. A friend mentioned Annie and I went to... see her. I immediately felt she could handle my case better. I was so right to hire her! She explained things in a calm way and made it easy for me to understand- even when I was upset. She told me what I needed to do and immediately went to work for me. It was a very stressful time for me but Annie and her office were always great. Annie did not give up or pressure me to settle. She was amazing in court and showed my ex's lies to the judge. I got my baby back and even some attorney fees. I am so thankful for all of Annie's help! If you need a divorce or custody attorney- go talk to her!

Excellent Attorney

She was my divorce attorney. Incredibly dedicated, supportive and willing to go above and beyond to get what needs to be done. Highly recommend her.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Oct 20

Relationship: Co-worker

"Anne Banford's desire to help the broken families within Gainesville and the North Georgia community is commendable. Her extensive experience and hard work has lead to several terrific wins for our clients. Anne has recently assisted with several complex "paper heavy" projects, during which she showed extreme organization and fast grasp of difficult legal isuues. She was recently named President of the Younger Lawyers of the Northeastern Bar Association, a fitting accolade for this diligent attorney. Anne serves her community and local colleges and also takes the time to answer questions on avvo.com helping to educate the public. I am very proud to endorse Anne Banford."
