She does not care wining or not. She wants to make money as much as possible.
She put 30 days in Retainer and invoice after 30 days. Cannot dispute. She barely uses parallel work, charges lawyer rate.
eg. 1.5 hour signing settlement, she charged 3 hours, met her 5 minutes, she charged half hour. Invoice came after 30 days. She said I could not ask her due to over 30 days.
1. First meeting, I told her 10 years old daughter wanted 50-50, why fought? She said judge not listening to a child. After she reviewed my case, she said she was going to win my daughter. In the end when asking trial after spending a lot money, she said now your daughter did not want me, judge listens to your child. She mislead me.
2. When concerning how case going, she threaten me to withdraw many times in the middle of court proceeding.
3. At late stage, my EX asked to add half dozen witnesses in the third round INTERROGATORIES, almost finished. I strongly opposed it. She advised me to allow him, which opened the flood gate of lies, completely out of control. She sit in half dozen depositions making more money. She did not know what to do with all the lies! It terribly weakened my case. She did not care whether I won the case or not. She wants money.
4. INTERROGATORIES
She charged me 57.2 hours on Discovery, $20,020.
A. She rewrote what I spent months writing with ton of details. It was returned as
“vague” or “too broad”. She had to change back to my version. She made a lot money. A senior lawyer, does not know how to respond to INTERROGATORIES.
B. She was late to submit to my EX lawyer. Then she lost the MOTION To COMPELL. Judge asked me to pay my EX lawyer fee. She still charged me due to her fault.
C. Closed to trial, I asked her why my EX’s lawyer asked TAXes, not her. Then she sent out an INTERROGATORIES with all other missing questions, of course charging me. Because it is too closed to trial, my EX’s lawyer refused to answer. Considering 57.2 hours on INTERROGATORIES, $20,020, she still missed the basic questions.
5. My EX filed Protective Order. I was ordered out of house with only 5 days cloths. My EX signed a court order, allowing me go home to pick up my belongings with my EX’s permission. My EX refused to the end, even with a court order! From the beginning, Feb, to the end, Aug, she spent my money keeping asking my Ex lawyer. Court clerk told me I can call Keep Peace sheriff with the court order. She said no.
A. After we settled the divorce, she told me she would help to get my belongings.
B. All my financial statements were at home. I had to answer INTERROGATORIES. She made me spend a lot of unnecessary money.
C. I had to buy everything I had at home, for daily living, spent a lot of unnecessary money.
6. I paid her $42221, I lost children, house, saving. After case over, I had to beg her to make A “free call” to a reunification therapist!
7. On mediation day, my EX’s lawyer draft the agreement. She did not help me negociate. My evil EX denied PRENAP, SEPARTION, took four houses rent for a year, living in my house for free, I had to rent an two bedrooms apt, out of my pocket. I had to buy everything since I left the house only with 5 days clothes. She advised me to pay my EX double than my suggestion.
Another example, my EX played court game, filed Protective Order and violation. My 10 years old daughter did not see me for 4 months. She got hurt a lot and never be the same. Why do I to share Reunification Therapist? The whole day, my EX’s lawyer draft the agreement. She told me she was working on another case while waiting for a big agreement. She spent many hours calling and working on another case. But she charged me all the hours, except one hour.
She did not negotiate anything for me. I did it all. She did not give me any advice.
8. My EX refused to take deposition. He said if I agree 50-50, no child support, no need to go to trial. She made another mistake. She did not ask him to sign. We missed the deposition for a master lier. The agreement I got far off from 50-50.

Ms. Kranias has an amazing attitude toward her clients. She treats them with respect and compassion and is not like any other lawyer you will meet. The client customer service that she provides is beyond reproach and super professional and very personable! She will put you at ease very quickly and make you feel that your situation is not beyond hope. She did that for me and she can do that for you also. She is a winner, hands down, and her track record speaks for itself. She is a truly wonderful lawyer and an expert in her fields!

My fiancee and I retained Anastasia for help with a protective order we were seeking. It was a scary situation, to say the least. While I could write about how she helped us get the result we wanted in court (twice), I think it's more important to talk about HOW she did it. I was incredibly stressed out and nervous over the process, the potential outcomes, you name it. Anastasia returned every call, every email, including a few that I sent while she was on vacation that i expected would wait until the next week! Even more than this was how she talked to us- very calm, very confident, and most importantly, very patient! She explained the process really well, kept a focus on what we wanted, and made sure we understood what was happening, any decisions we needed to make, and the strategies of the opposing side so we could work with Anastasia to get the result we wanted. We won our case in court both initially and after appeal. We couldn't be more grateful to Anastasia for her professionalism, her understanding and patience, or her warmth through a pretty intimidating process. We could not have done it alone.
