Overall, I did not have a good experience with Anna, and I posted quite a long review here about how frustrated I was with the experience, but I would like to amend it based on her reaching out and asking how she could help.
My divorce did take 2-3 months longer than it should have, and there were issues with communication from her, as well as a lack of her completing the necessary paperwork in a timely manner (one instance was two months that she did not get back to the court). I was not able to enforce the directives of my order during this time. I do still believe she overcharged me, and when I brought this up to her, she did waive a portion of her charges. Her paralegal did tell me she would complete my name change but they never did this - I had noted this in my review, and she reached out to me and offered to do this at no additional charge. I do really appreciate her doing so as I do not think many lawyers would offer to do this, regardless of poor experience or not.
The lack of communication and the disorganization leads me to believe that Anna is possibly overbooked and is taking on too much at this time. Unfortunately, I still cannot recommend her based on my overall experience. But I do think that maybe this case could be a lesson for her, which could lead her to ultimately improve her services. I did not go to a lengthy court case with her so I can't comment on her performance in a larger court case. Most of what I needed were administrative tasks, and I did not find her and her paralegal to be successful at this, at least at this time.
I will note that her offering to do something for me after the fact does show that she does care to try and keep her clients happy, and that possibly this poor experience was not a regular occurrence. Reaching out to talk with me and to apologize, and to offer to correct where she could, I think went a long way for me regarding my perceptions of her. read more
