Professional and Caring

From the moment I met with Anne I knew she would have my best interest at heart. Going through the most difficult experience in my life was stressful enough; however Anne took most of that burden away and made the legality of everything easy and comprehendible. Her professionalism, expertise, compa...ssion but most of all her honesty is what separates her from the rest. She made my divorce as painless as possible and communicated with me every step of the way. She was always available to answer any questions I needed her to answer. If you want a top notch attorney who will look out for YOU then you need to call Anne, I highly recommend her and her firm.

take the high road

I had a very troublesome divorce do to a spouse on drugs. Ms. Banford was very knowledgeable in this matter do to the fact she had been trained in matters relating to DEFACS, which had an open case on my wife. I had talked to another lawyer and right away I knew I was getting what I would pay for. ...She had advised me to seek full custody with supervised visitation with drug screens. The other lawyer mentioned nothing of the sort. He even shunned it a little when I mentioned it. In the end thats exactly what i got. I'm so glad I chose to not hold back and go the high road.

A+ Lawyer

Ms. Banford, helped me to obtain my divorce. My case had sensitive domestic issues. Ms. Banford helped us to reach a settlement that we would not have to relive the uncomfortable memories in the court room. Ms. Banford is a very efficient lawyer who knows what professional courtesty is to her client ...as well as to my now x-husband. She gives her clients encouragement throughout the process of preparing for the case. She stayed focus and on track returned all emails and phone calls immediately without delay. Her office kept me updated on any new information or changes that came our way. She strived to bring about a speedy closure to my case with client satisfaction along with what was best for our minor children involved. I want to thank her publicly for a job well done. If you need a honest lawyer and one who cares about her work ethics Ms. Bandford is the lawyer for you. She is what I would call an A+ lawyer.

I recommend Anne Banford

When I decided to file for divorce, I didn't know how I was going to handle the process of ending my marriage with working and raising a family. The first time I stepped into the office to meet with Anne, I knew after 5 minutes of talking with her about the situation that she knew exactly what to do ...to protect my interest and those of my children. The lines of communication with Anne were unbelievable. She was available pretty much 24/7 by phone or e-mail and would always respond with kind words that would put me at ease no matter what the situation. If you need someone to help and guide you thru this difficult process, this is the person for you. When it is all said and done, you will feel like a part of the family. She really cares about her clients and goes that extra mile to ease the stress of your situation.

Review of Anne Banford July 2011

Ms. Banford did an exceptional job representing me during my divorce. As a father of a nine month old daughter, I expressed my desire to obtain joint custody and remain stable and loving part in my daughters life. From day one Ms. Banford went above and beyond my expectations. She is very knowledg...eable and expressed a sincere sense of determination in obtaining my desired outcome. Phone calls and emails never went without a reply. Ms. Banford was extremely accessible and answered my questions in a timely and caring manner. As a man seeking joint custody of an infant I knew I had quite the challenge ahead of me. I can thank Anne Banford for guiding me though the most challenging and also the most meaningful moment in my life. Thanks to her services, I have ensured that my daughter will have her father in her daily life. I hope that this review finds other fathers that want to be a stable, consistent, and loving part of their child's life. I highly recommend Anne Banford and her firm.

"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.
