The worst decision I ever made was to hire Ann Oakleaf for my divorce, modification of spousal support. She is incompetent and lacks integrity. Initiated “very busy activity” - in asking numerous times to submit and sign the same documents. She tried to prolong our phone, office conversations and charged me for every minute. She had no goal and strategy to help me. I forced to cancel her service because she offered the worst option compared to my former spouse’s lawyer. I felt she was not supportive of me. I had to hire another attorney. Do not hire this attorney if you want to be successful in court. She is very “burnt out” and wants to retire and should! You would be better off using the Self-help desk at Family court.

I first consulted with Ann expecting to hire her for a child custody case. After discussing the specifics of the case she was very honest in letting me know that the situation was not complex and didn't necessarily have to result in court appearances. She guided me on the process of mediation and my ex and I were able to come to an agreement on the custody terms. With her help, the process was much less stressful than I had anticipated.

From our first consultation, I knew I had made the best choice! Not once did I give a second thought about her character. I knew that I could entrust her with all I had. This was my first experience dealing with an attorney and fees, etc. All I can say in a few short words is that she was referred to me by a dear friend and once she listened to the few different situations I had going on I knew she would take care of me and help me and my children. Today, and The next day after, I will always have much appreciation for having Mrs. Oakleaf by my side and in my path.

Ann Oakleaf has been dealing with my divorce and my situation has been very complicated. She has shown incredible knowledge in the matter and has always been very quick to answer my questions or concerns. She has been very firm in dealing with the opposing attorneys which I found very impressive.

I had a very difficult divorce case, it was terrible, actually. I was so grateful to have Ann on my side. She is conscientious and professional. She kept the case honest and upfront. She is willing to compromise in the name of the best interest of her client. She does her best to keep costs down. She is level-headed and keeps emotion out of it so that costs don't run up. She stuck with me until the end, even though my ex-husband drug out the case much longer than it had to be. She gives lawyers a good name with her integrity.

Ann did an amazing job handling my divorce and custody suit. She managed to both get me everything I wanted, and kept me out of court, saving tens of thousands of dollars. She is extremely knowledgeable about divorce law which saved time and money. She was assiduous in keeping me updated, and was consistently available to me when I had concerns.
