"I was referred to Anne by a coworker of mine that had used her services for his divorce and was pleased with the outcome. At our initial consultation Anne was very upfront about her services and the importance of reaching agreements if possible early on to settle disputes. While she impressed upon me the importance of settling, I had expected that there may be no little bit of conflict driven by the other party in my case.. Anne impressed me as being a strong advocate of her client's rights.  I was not disappointed.  My case rapidly deteriorated into a series of unreasonable demands in the marital settlement agreement and custody agreement.  While Anne was able to quickly negotiate an acceptable MSA the other party seemed never to be satisfied and continually sought to manipulate situations through threats and changes in child custody. This eventually culminated in multiple felonies by the other party directed at our child and me. Anne provided great legal support  through what was admittedly a unusual and highly stressed set of circumstances.  I would not hesitate to recommend her services." - A client in Sacramento, CA

I can't believe it's taken me a year to write to you, but I have been wanting to thank you for your help with my case.  We are doing much better now, and most importantly our daughter is doing much better.                ...I just wanted you to know that with your help, we are all doing much better! -- A client in El Cerrito, CA
