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.

Very professional and prompt.

I had Anne represent me in a modification of child support and child custody case, where I was the Defendant. From the very first meeting, Anne was very attentive and thorough. She began working on my case immediately, taking notes and asking all the right questions. I felt Anne was extremely kno...wledgeable about this type of case. Anne was very supportive of me and still very to the point. She helped me stay on track mentally and emotionally reminding me about the main goal in this situation. Being very professional and prompt, I was never left in the dark about anything. Anne answered all of my questions, phone calls and emails almost immediately. I honestly felt like I was her only client. My case was settled in mediation. I am extremely pleased with the way Anne handled my case and I highly recommend her.

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.

Outstanding Attorney

I approached Anne seeking legal advice regarding divorce. She was the third lawyer that I met with; and after my initial consultation it was very clear to me that I would be retaining her services. From a first impression Anne seemed to be very professional as well as knowledgable. Having worked w...ith her, I can now say that she exceeded my expectations. Anne was very proactive with my case and was able to guide me through a difficult situation. She was able to bring my divorce to a swift resolution and I am very thankful for that. She also took the time to explain what was going on with my case at every stage as well as what I could expect going forward. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and I will recommend Anne and her firm to my family and friends.

"Anne Banford's desire to help the broken families within Gainesville and the North Georgia community is commendable.
