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.

Talented, Aggressive, Legal Pro for Gainesville, Ga.

It's hard to believe that North Georgia can claim someone with the talent of Anne Banford. I realize that sounds a little too glowing..however, after living, travelling, and conducting business around the world, as well as, serving as managing partner in several businesses; it is a true statement. ... I have worked with attorneys from Seattle, Chicago, and New York and believe that Anne demonstrates the professional and aggressive skillset that is synonymous with large national firms and corporate legal. In addition to this, Anne combines her talents with a disarming southern charm that can be dangerous to her opponents and to those local attorneys who may mistakenly underestimate her. Anne did a wonderful job for me and I will be working with her for many years to come. Hire her if you can.

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.

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."
