Although this legal area seems complicated if you have never been through it before, an experienced lawyer can simplify the process, make sure you understand your rights and options, and protect your financial interests.

Anne was simply amazing. While divorce is not a pleasant process I she was able to make the transition a bit easier. Navigating through the process is challenging and while every divorce is different she was able to work through both my and my ex-husbands priorities. Highly recommend working with Anne!
