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.

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.

A true winner

Anne was a great help in my recent case. She helped me with the tough time in the process of my divorce. I found that Colman and Chambers was a good choice and Anne would be great to make sure everything was done correctly for my uncontested divorce.

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.

This lawyer is wonderful. She helped me, a father of two, to get joint custody of my baby boys. It is a great day for fathers everywhere. She gives hope to the good fathers out there, that they may too have all the rights that they are entitled to. Thank you for all your hard work on my case.... I think you are a great lawyer. I appreciate all the time you took to make sure I was clear on every topic and subject. I will forever be grateful that I met you and that I had a chance to work with you. You were always professional and courteous. You had a way of making me feel secure in my decisions. I am fully satisfied with the outcome of my mediation and wish you all the best in future cases. I am happy to be able to continue spending time with my children, raising and comforting and teaching them. I hope that they enjoy a happy and fulfilling life with me and their mother both being there for them when they need us. Thanks to your hard work and great mediation skills we won a victory for all fathers. I hope every father finds someone like you to help them along at a time when everything around seems grim and the future is uncertain. I am truly happy now thanks to you.

"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.
