She is a joke!y.don’t waist your money on her been there done that!I took my case to other lawyers and every time they were surprised that how careless she is.

I referred Anita to a client of mine who was going through a difficult divorce and her first attorney was not representing her interests well. My client was very satisfied with Anita and the outcome of the case. When the time came that I needed help in my divorce, I did not hesitate a moment to call Anita. My situation was simpler, but Anita and her assistant Brian were both very responsive to a delicate situation and I found them deeply knowledgeable and efficient. Thank you very much for the wonderful service and I look forward to referring you again in the future.

Originally I had wanted to regain possession of the home we both owned. My ex wanted to sell it, so Anita represented me in negotiations, garnished his wages for spousal support and filed the papers to get my back alimony from escrow. She was very responsive and looked out for my best interest in every interaction.

In July 2015 Anita Gumm took on my divorce and settlement matter, which had previously been worked on by two other firms, neither of which made much progress on it but had happily overcharged for their services nonetheless. In doing so, she stepped into a contentious fight against a well-known Los Angeles law firm that has served Britney Spears and David Hasselhoff. She handled them, their various attempts to bully her, and my case calmly, cleanly and effectively, always standing her ground but never stooping to their tactics. No matter how busy her court schedule, she made time for my phone calls and emails. I came to greatly value her advice. I am now a free woman because of her. She cannot be recommended highly enough.

Ms. Gumm is a highly experienced family law attorney who is thoroughly adept as to all aspects of the family law process. She will fight hard for you in order to get the results you need. She is very responsive to her clients and promptly returns phone calls and emails. If you ever have a family law issue arise, do not hesitate to contact Ms. Gumm. She is the advocate you want in your corner during what could be a very difficult time in your life.

Had a nightmare divorce that lasted three years with many court visits. Anita brilliantly defended me against false and unjustified allegations which she proved false in a court trial. Anita is highly educated with the law and a excellent litigator, which saved me from a heavy onslaught of litigation. Always and forever grateful for her services.

The attorney and her staff were rude every time we interacted over the phone and the opening line of all (3) phone calls would be, "I have limited time". Nevertheless, they will bill you as if they provided you with a competent and full service. They don't! The client (me) interests and priorities seem to be of no concern to anyone in this firm but specially to Anita Gumm who seem to take cases solely for the income and not to defend her clients. Point being, I had to do the reading, and analysis of, documents sent from the opposition and then tell this "lawyer" what I thought was against my best interest- that's their work, to fight for you- BE WARE this firm and lawyer won't do that for you. Finally, she (Anita Gumm) will allow her friendship with other attorneys (opposition) supersede her clients interests. Absolutely unethical practice. Stay away from this firm and lawyer.

This recommendation is long overdue. My apologies, Anita. Anita is, without a doubt, the best family law attorney. She is incredibly tough, if need be, but her approach is to mediate rather than combat. My biggest regret: I wish I had retained Anita from the beginning of my divorce proceedings. It would have lessened the level of anxiety I had been experiencing daily with my former attorney. She constantly kept me informed. Where one hears of divorces taking years to be finalized, after retaining Anita, mine ended less than 4 months from when I met her. She is a tireless advocate and deserves the moniker of professionalism. Her staff were incredibly diligent and professional with all my communications. I was so impressed with Anita that I find myself recommending her to complete strangers. In a difficult time, such as a divorce, having Anita represent you is the best choice you can make. Maybe I'll make my recommendation for Anita's services stronger. Should you retain Anita, you will be paired with a phenomenal attorney who will steer your case with utmost knowledge of legal jurisprudence, infinite diligence in all aspects of your case, even to seemingly insignificant details, and, lastly, her unwavering good guidance in tumultuous times. Thanks, Anita.

I thought Ms. Gumm was responsive and really cared about my case. I used her several times and would recommend her.

Ms. Gumm represented me on a family law matter and she was thorough, presented a solid case and was excellent in the court room.
