Reviews
Excellent attorney
“I knew I had a long and contentious battle ahead. I consulted with 4 attorneys before meeting Anh. From the initial consultation, I knew I had the right attorney. As expected, divorce is not easy but having Anh working on my case reduced the stress ten-fold. Anh’s professionalism, tenaciousness, and experience showed during the entire case and into trial. She was extremely meticulous and thorough in every detail. I had the best possible outcome for my case. She had the highest level of integrity and honesty. I can’t speak highly enough about her.”
