This attorney was worthless! She let my ex-wife get away with stealing the title of my 2.2. million-dollar house. She is so utterly incompetent with absolutely NO BACKBONE WHATSOEVER to defend the law or her clients. Because she is so weak-minded and spineless even the judges don't show her any respect. I ended up having to pay back the hard money loan my ex-wife took out with the fraudulent property title! Only because Anna Brace doesn't belong being a lawyer. She should do the rest of the world a favor and quit trying to do a job she clearly can only seem to do on an extremely pathetic level! You are better off hiring a Girl Scout to be your lawyer than this ignorant airhead!

My boys’ mother wanted to have our current 50/50 court order changed to 70/50 in her favor. I started a new job that required me to travel for training the first several months. I ended up traveling a lot that first year. During this time, my boys’ mother was keeping a meticulous calendar of when she had our boys on my court ordered time. According to her calendar, she had our boys 70% of the time. Along with some other complaints, she and her attorney brought this calendar into court (thinking it was their winning ACE).
What she and her attorney didn’t know was that I had the winning ace. The real winning ace. Anna C. brACE. Anna not only helped me keep 50/50 custody, she had my boys’ mom pay for the investigator’s fees which where around $1,000. Instead of me paying child support, which I did for the first 5 years, my boys’ mom was ordered to pay me child support and arears for the previous year. If this isn’t a win, I’m not sure what is. I give Anna a full 5 stars. Thank you Anna!

Trust your instincts. She was horrible from the start and I should have walked away, but I didn't and I'm paying a hefty price.
1. Billing practices: charging me hundreds of dollars for inner office emails. Emails from her receptionist/para legal to Anna about my case. When my case was done she was still drafting orders for the courts, but would not show me the order, just the charge.
2. Knowledge of case: fumbled and left out critical information about my case when presenting to the judge.
Over all feeling: she did not care about my case, I lost HUGE, which is hard enough, but certain issues of my case were very winnable.
Unprofessional, never shook my hand, first in person meeting was my court date...which she was not prepared for and showed up 45 mins late to!
I would NEVER recommend this attorney, but I hope my experience is a one off.

Anna represented me in a recent child custody/child support modification case.
She is well connected at the court house and is very familiar with the judges and other attorneys.
Anna is kind and personable, but aggressive when she needs to be. She doesn’t sugar coat the situation and is honest and straightforward.
She helped negotiate both a fair custody arrangement and a fair support modification.
With offices conveniently located in Newport Beach and Capistrano Beach, it is easy to meet with her and her staff.
I would highly recommend Anna and her team if you are looking for a family law attorney.

She is very resourceful and professional. She didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear. She actually cared about my daughter and I and was with us every step of the way.

Anna is a very honest attorney! She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, which is a good thing. I've had attorney's in the past that told me what I wanted to hear, which in return was a let down in court with the final decision. From start to finish Anna had mine and my daughter's best interest at heart.

Anna has been a great attorney for us. We needed a good child custody lawyer and she was recommended by a friend. It's hard to chose someone to represent you when you don't live close enough to meet face to face but Anna has far surpassed all our expectations. She has always responded to calls and emails quickly, she has patiently guided us through a confusing and difficult process and most importantly she has fought hard for the best interests of our family. I am so thankful we found Anna to represent us. Her staff are friendly and helpful. Anna is more than competent, she understands family law and had the best strategy for our situation. Anna also showed us that she's not only a great attorney but a great person as well, she is very passionate about her work and she honestly cares about her clients. We could not be happier with how she has handled our case.

I've unfortunately had to retain several attorney's and I honestly say Anna has been the best. She's very straight forward and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. She doesn't agree with whatever you say just because you're paying her. She doesn't make you feel like you're just another client, but instead makes you feel like she truly cares about you.
