*This review has been amended* Overall, I did not have a good experience with Anna, and I posted quite a long review here about how frustrated I was with the experience, but I would like to amend it based on her reaching out and asking how she could help. My divorce did take 2-3 months longer than it should have, and there were issues with communication from her, as well as a lack of her completing the necessary paperwork in a timely manner (one instance was two months that she did not get back to the court). I was not able to enforce the directives of my order during this time. I do still believe she overcharged me, and when I brought this up to her, she did waive a portion of her charges. Her paralegal did tell me she would complete my name change but they never did this - I had noted this in my review, and she reached out to me and offered to do this at no additional charge. I do really appreciate her doing so as I do not think many lawyers would offer to do this, regardless of poor experience or not. The lack of communication and the disorganization leads me to believe that Anna is possibly overbooked and is taking on too much at this time. Unfortunately, I still cannot recommend her based on my overall experience. But I do think that maybe this case could be a lesson for her, which could lead her to ultimately improve her services. I did not go to a lengthy court case with her so I can't comment on her performance in a larger court case. Most of what I needed were administrative tasks, and I did not find her and her paralegal to be successful at this, at least at this time. I will note that her offering to do something for me after the fact does show that she does care to try and keep her clients happy, and that possibly this poor experience was not a regular occurrence. Reaching out to talk with me and to apologize, and to offer to correct where she could, I think went a long way for me regarding my perceptions of her.

I called Anna Bristle about a child custody case. She was not able to take the case because she was already in court on the day of the trial. Even though she was not making any money she took the time to recommend other lawyers. When they were not able to help and I called her back she took even more time to give advice and help point me in the right direction. She truly is out to help the kids even when it does not benefit her.

I hired Anna Bristle as my lawyer for my custody battle in December 2021. I am a disabled combat veteran with two purple hearts. During our initial interview she told me that payment wasn’t an issue because I could leverage the house. After 4 months she told me that my 5k retainer had been used up and I owed $1700. She refused to even talk to me about this payment. I told her that I could not come up with all of it and make a $700 good faith payment. She dropped me as her client 3 days before my pretrial without even an email. I begged her to work out a payment solution and she didn’t even respond to my email. She told the Judge that it wasn't about the finacnes it was me. The entire time she barely answered an email and she always talked down to me like I was stupid. Honestly it felt like she hated me for being a veteran. I do not recommend her or her firm. I feel they hate veterans.

I hired Anna because one of my good friends was her former client. I am so glad that I did! My spouse has a privately owned business, which meant it was difficult to see his assets. However, Anna got me an amount for child and spousal support that was better than I expected. Thank you for your dedication to my case.

This attorney is incapable to read her emails and answer simple, reasonable questions. She is apparently overwhelmed with cases and doesn't care about clients. She acts like she is compassionate but it is nothing but an act. She doesn't do anything for her clients and should not practice law at all.

Ms. Anna Bristle helped me and my family in an urgent time of need, after I found myself in a custody battle with my ex-husband for our daughter. Anna and her paralegal, Courtney Reheiser, worked long hours to help resolve the dispute, and they both kept me informed of the developments in the case, all while keeping my expenses to a minimum. Every person at this firm has behaved very professionally and with sensitivity to my situation. It is also worth noting that Anna took my case after another law firm was no longer able to represent me due to a staff change at the other firm, which means that Anna had to work very quickly to prepare my case before the court date. She even worked late hours during the week and weekends(!) to ensure that all of the issues were resolved in time. It is due to the compassion and dedication of Anna and her staff that my daughter and I are happy and living together now.

I met with four different attorneys to find the best one to represent me regarding a child support case. Anna Bristle turned out to be my #1 choice. She listened to my situation and was genuinely concerned with making sure I got the result I needed. My case was very complex because there were a lot of inaccuracies and gray undefined areas that had to be resolved with the opposing party. With Anna’s years of experience and professional expertise in child support cases, she was able to effectively address all the issues. She truly cared about my case and handled it with empathy. She kept me posted with all the developments, deadlines, and my court dates. Anna was very punctual and responsive to my questions. Having Anna to take care of my case was a huge load off my back during this difficult period. I am very happy with the outcome. I definitely made the right decision of choosing Anna Bristle and I highly recommend her as a child support attorney.

I’m located in Texas so I reached out to Anna to see what she could do for me since I received modification of visitation papers from my child’s mother. Anna was very precise and detailed when she represented me. She made it clear to the judge what we wanted and surprisingly I won my visitation. I will be using her again for an additional issue I’m having, that’s how much faith I have in her.

Anna helped me with a separation agreement and understood the stress I was under. One of the most amazing things about her is the way she communicates and the timeliness of her replies. You know that if you reach out to her, she will get back to you in a timely fashion. She was very detailed and did a great job protecting my interests.

very precise and diligent in her action plans and with her advice. She allowed me to call the shots and advised me on the consequences. The decisions I made coupled with her expertise, led to a favorable outcome.
