Annie Banford Hayes

Anne informed us right away that our case was extremely difficult to win (Third party/ Grandparent custody). She was honest with us and showed genuine sympathy for our situation. Anne and her paralegal were easy to reach at any time and they were always prompt with replies when I had questions. An...ne worked tirelessly on our case and when it went to court, her 30 minute opening statement showed how well prepared she was. Anne gave the facts of our case from memory - without fumbling through notes and files (as I've seen other attorneys do). She was confident and knew as much about the tiniest details of our case as we did. She is so knowledgeable of the "ins and outs" of the law and kept us well informed of what to expect. In the beginning, we researched who to retain - we wanted an expert in third party/ Grandparent custody and we are so thankful we chose Anne. Not only were we granted full, sole custody, but we have now finalized the adoption of our grandson. We cannot thank Anne enough for pouring her heart into our case. With the stakes as high as they were, I cannot imagine what would have happened if we had not had her on our side.

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.

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.

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.

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.
