best family law attorney

I used Annie Hayes in my 2nd case. I was extremely upset when I spoke to her the first time. My ex had just served me with an emergency order that gave him custody of our baby. I went first to my old attorney but felt he was not understanding of my concerns. A friend mentioned Annie and I went to... see her. I immediately felt she could handle my case better. I was so right to hire her! She explained things in a calm way and made it easy for me to understand- even when I was upset. She told me what I needed to do and immediately went to work for me. It was a very stressful time for me but Annie and her office were always great. Annie did not give up or pressure me to settle. She was amazing in court and showed my ex's lies to the judge. I got my baby back and even some attorney fees. I am so thankful for all of Annie's help! If you need a divorce or custody attorney- go talk to her!

Excellent Attorney

She was my divorce attorney. Incredibly dedicated, supportive and willing to go above and beyond to get what needs to be done. Highly recommend her.

Great experience

This is my second time hiring Anne to represent me. The first time was with my divorce and this time was with a modification to child support and parenting plan. I have a young child with special needs and from the time of the divorce his needs had changed significantly making a modification necess...ary. Anne took all the information I gave her regarding my son's needs and did additional research of her own to make sure that she knew exactly what needed to be put into the modified parentling plan to ensure that all of his needs were met. Just as before she was professional and very knowledgeable from start to finish. She did a wonderful job presenting our case to the judge and ultimately I was awarded all the necessary changes I had requested. I am extremely pleased with Anne will continue to turn to her for any legal needs I may have in the future.

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.
