Anna is very approachable and reassuring throughout the process of establishing our family trust. Anna's response time to phone calls and emails is very quick, unlike other attorneys we have worked with. No need to look any further if you are looking for a professional, competent, friendly attorney. Kaliana who is Anna's legal assistant is also prompt in responding to phone calls and emails, and is a pleasure to work with.

Ann has always been very responsive and supportive. By far, an excellent advisor for my concerns. She is very gracious with her time and I have learned quite a bit during my legal preparations.

We would highly recommend Anna and her firm, and in fact we've already given her name to a couple of friends and family members. She is personable, thorough, very detailed and articulate when reviewing our estate plan or anything else. Her process was easy for us to complete in a timely fashion and get on with our lives! Now I feel so good to have our estate plan done!

Anna and I have worked together as co-counsels in several cases and she is very committed to her clients, professional and ethical. I also hired Anna to do my estate planning and she did an excellent job with ease and for a very reasonable fee. I highly recommend Anna, she is not just a great lawyer but a very kind person who cares for all her clients.

My husband and I had some last minute reality checks before our daughter was born in our, for lack of a better term, surrogate situation. We were in pretty solid panic mode not sure if we would be able take our daughter home once she was born. Anna was able to walk us all through the requirements to establish legal parentage that matched the intentional parentage of our situation. She helped us to develop a plan and execute it just the way we hoped, and it all got accomplished with great success with less than three months before the due date. Our family could not be what it is today without Anna and her caring, expertise and knowledge. We are so thankful to her!

I consulted with her regarding my mother's revocable living trust and pour-over will. She responded in a more than timely manner. I would hire her.

We retained Anna's services for contract work related to a non-traditional situation related to our family planning. We didn't exactly fit in the traditional surrogacy bucket, nor did adoption apply and Anna found the right way to define what we were doing while achieving our legal goals. Anna was clear in her plan, she executed on her promises and her work was spot on! We were very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend her to anyone trying to navigate surrogacy law.

Hired Anna Howard to plan my wife and myself estate so that after death my children will avoid probate and reduce their taxes. All of our assets will be in our trust. Anna was very professional and she made it easy!

Anna Howard was very professional and efficient with conducting our legal needs. Her fees were reasonable and appropriate for her services. We intend to use her for our continued family legal needs. We would not hesitate to reommend Anna Howards services.

Anna assisted my husband and I with surrogacy law. Anna is extremely knowledgeable and up to date with this area of the law and she really impressed us with her knowledge and guidance. Anna drafted our surrogacy contract which was negotiated with the other side for weeks and she made sure that we were comfortable and happy with every single provision- and there were lots of them. Anna even spoke to us over the phone on evenings and weekends. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone needing a surrogacy attorney.

Anna represented me in the appeal phase of a contested adoption in which I was the biological parent. Anna set realistic expectations, was accessible, and most importantly she treated my concerns and worries as if they were her own. Anna's preparation for my case was unmatched. Her attention to detail and thinking outside the status quo really set her apart in my mind.

Ms. Howard's guidance was invaluable during my estate planning. She asked compelling questions in order to create a will and trust that reflects my objectives. With her consistency and legal knowledge she guided me through a process that can be difficult with ease. I appreciate Ms. Howard's compassionate and professional demeanor. It was such a relief to have my family's future secure.
