Great Lawyer in Gainesville

Anne Banford helped grandparents in a custody case. She did an excellent job and was very professional. Our family will use Anne in the future for all of our legal needs. She is very reasonable and cares about her clients and what they are going through.

Highly Recommend!!

Anne Banford is an excellent attorney. We used her in our child custody case. She was very professional and knowledgeable. Every aspect of our case was reviewed with us in detail. Anne and her assistant Gina were always updating us on the status of our case as well as answering any questions or c...oncerns. We highly recommend Anne and Coleman, Chambers & Rogers, LLP.

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.

Contempt Action

There is enough stress involved when trying to prepare yourself to take someone back to court for contempt of an order. Anne K. Banford was my "ace in the hole" when I was forced to take my ex-wife back to court for a contempt action against specific orders that were stated in our divorce decree. ... Anne was very efficient, thorough, prepared, and precise while working my case. She presented in herself in a very professional manner while maintaining an open line of communication between all parties involved. I must also mention that her office staff were also a reflection of her work ethic and were as thorough, efficient, and considerate of my situation as she was during that time. Both Anne and staff members were able to take documentation I had provided them with and use it to help build a winning case. It remained clear to me throughout my ordeal that Anne Banford continuously had my best interest at heart. Her skill set and dedication of her time allowed my case to be settled in mediation; thus keeping the case out of court. Anne K. Banford's intelligence, abilities, her access to senior lawyers within her firm, cleverness, and compassion gives her the tools for success. Personally, I feel that there is nothing too big or too small that Anne could not take on and come out as the successor.

"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.
