I cannot say enough good things about Anna Sappington, Esq. Anna is approachable, thorough, experienced, genuine, practical, and very honest. I would go to her again in a heartbeat for representation.
We were not familiar or comfortable with legal proceedings. This problem fell upon us and we were overwhelmed. Anna explained everything clearly and simply. She was very capable in handling our situation and she handled it quickly and efficiently.
Before we found Anna, we had talked with 4 other lawyers who all gave advice that did not fit our desired outcome. Anna was the only lawyer to do the following things:
1) When we met with Anna, she was prepared: she had looked over our documentation and had even gone over all the numbers herself. This made our conversation much easier.
2) She listened to all the details of our story.
3) She didn't chastise us for our mistakes. We didn't need to be chastised; we had learned our lesson.
4) She offered advice AFTER getting the whole picture.
Anna was a breath of fresh air.
Anna gave us her recommendation and clearly explained all the reasons for her recommendation. Using her experience, she also gave a clear picture of how she expected our alternative options to turn out. We chose to accept her first recommendation. This involved some compromise on our part, but her solution solved our problem and saved us more money and time than any of the propsals other lawyers had given. It also avoided a lengthy court process. She suggested a brilliant negotiation point and offered to write to the other party herself because our communication with them had broken down so much. She was tactful in her communication with the other party, but clear in expressing expectations and determined to defend our position. The other party agreed to the terms she presented.
Throughout this process, she frequently called and emailed us to make sure we were informed of everything. Anna started working on our case immediately and stayed on top of it until our issue was completely resolved. Anna's approach gave us the peace that we needed. read more
