Anne Redord represented me very recently.expect little to no communication, you are made to feel incompetent if you ask a question regarding your own case.The day of my hearing I received no briefing of what to expect, I was told to shut up countless times, I was told to mark my calendar for this day to make sure I remember the worst day of my life. She threatened to withdraw if I did not agree with what she was forcing.She walked away from me when I attempted to ask her a question, she swore at me and waved her hands in my face and told me to shut up and shut my mouth, that I have diarrhea of the mouth, I was asking questions to better understand my own case. She had me in tears multiple times, as we went In front of the commissioner, she sat with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, when it was our turn to plead my side she stood up and withdrew her intent as my attorney and patted me on the back and said your up. I have never witnessed such unethical behavior.She is a tyrant!

I highly recommended working with Anne Redford and the members of Redford Law Office. She and her team listen and tirelessly invest the time to intimately familiarize themselves with the details of the cases of their clients. I personally am appreciative of Anne’s representation of my children and myself. She not only listened but also heard my words in a court system where I was told by other attorneys to conform and continue sending my children into abuse. Anne is the epitome of an advocate and stands strong for her clients. She is passionate, intelligent and swift. She changed our lives and I am beyond grateful for her representation.

Anne and her staff were worth twice as much as she charged us! We found The firm to be kind, knowledgeable and willing to work quickly to keep our children safe. I cannot imagine finding another attorney who believes in the protection of children like Anne and her staff do. Anne is very realistic in expectations and clear in communicating what possible outcomes and consequences may come from certain court actions. We would use her again without question.

Anne has been a source of strength for my own sexual abuse issues and those of others that I know. She works hard for victims, me and others, anytime, day or night. She always has time to help with legal advice and to advise on what direction is the BEST way to handle the situation. The world needs more lawyers like her that are willing to go the extra mile. She has for me. If you need a lawyer that will help you with domestic violence, sexual, physical or mental abuse issues, she is an expert. You won't find anyone better. Of course those that lose the fight against her usually deserve it more than I can say. Call her. She is the best. She has also helped one of our family members with parenting plans for a father that was abusive and needed adult supervision to see the children. She fights for what is right and gave good advise to this family member. She donates so much of her time to this cause. Who could ask for more?

I found her though a friend.Everyone knows she's the best! The Pacific Northwest is lucky to have someone who knows the law. She was always on time.She was ready to go to work for me.When I had to ask her something I didn't understand she took the time to help me understand.

I came to Anne completely defeated and terrified. My ex is manipulative and abusive and I didn't know what to do. Anne took over and set me free. My case was complicated and ugly by the time she stepped in. Tammy and Anne teamed up to really stand up for me. She even went to another court with me to advocate for my rights and safety. Everything was above and beyond and well worth the money. To be honest, her fees are very reasonable considering others I had consulted. I am thankful everyday that I found her.

Ann and her staff are professional and supportive. All communication is direct and extremely punctual! Anne's assistant Tammy is always available to help through the tough stuff and to find the positive in the bleak.

She really doesnt deserve a "1" its much less than that. She allows pergery and false statements over the truth. Cut throat. No compassion or care about finding the truth.

I did All of the work. I filed the anti harassement order. I filed the documents with the court. I hired Anne to help me. To be the strength I no longer posessed due to the draining marriage I am trapped in. She had one job, secure ny freedom with enough support to get my children and I on safe level ground. On the day of court I sat dumbfounded as this woman told me I needed to conceed to gis demand for counciling instead of divorce or face the next 5 to 7 years fighting for the custody of the children. Children he does not want but is happy to use against me to keep me under hus control. And I thought we had moved past this. Would love to get a job however with no money and no way to get it this essentially makes me a captive. For your own safety and peace of mind I would seriously reconsider hiring Ms. Hall. Sadly she behaved exactly as the reviews said. I wish I had not been distraught and had taken time to read them. Maybe we would have had a chance, a chance to be safe.

I should have read her reviews before hiring Anne Redford Hall. She displayed conduct I have never encountered with anyone - professional or not - in my entire life. She is rude and falsely accusatory. She sends me slanderous emails about me and then bills me for them - after I already asked her to stop all work on my case. She misconstrues facts that are in verifiable emails and verbal conversations/agreements we made. She appears to want to fight with everyone. Hire someone else. Check their reviews first.

Do not hire anyone from Redford law firm. After my 3000.00 retainer I could never get ahold of my attorney. After over 6000.00 dollars in I had barely scratched the surface of my divorce. Very rude front desk person, they treated me more like a chore than my attorney working for me. They nickel and dime everything from you, knowing I was a single mother of 3 trying to make it work. Do not hire anyone of them, horrible!!!

Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT, under any circumstances hire Anne Redford (a.k.a Judith Anne Redford & Anne Redford Hall). She is a hideous excuse of a human being! Just as I read from many other unsatisfied clients she is rude, unprofessional, and a thief. Anne pretended she was capeble, compassionate and available until she recieved my retainer fee. As soon as he had my money she became unavailable to meet with me and rarely returned phone calls. She failed to research previous court orders which were beneficial to my case. During mediation she became verbally abusuve, unsupportive, and threatened to leave during the meeting. She is untrustworthy and will turn against her client. Clearly, she was NOT on my side, rather she was more than willing to serve the opposing counsel. To say the least, Anne Redford Hall is an unethical attorney and needs to retire immediately.

She started out like she was doing a good job for me, but it got worse and worse. And pretended she was going to trial for me, and charged me all trial prep and last minute pressured me in a deal with promises of fixing it later or the other side wouldn't follow through. When I send her emails she would send rude degrading emails back, she pretends to do things for you, but in the end pressures you to give into the other side. Doesn't send you her side of the communication with the opposing counsel. She drags things on and on and never gives a answer so she can nickel and dime you to death. I am very regretful I had her as my attorney and wish I had fired her along time ago. Please do not retain her as your attorney you will regret it.

My experience with Anne was good. I am a victim of domestic violence and found her to be well versed with the legalities involved with domestic violence and divorce. Anne and her staff were very helpful, honest, and supportive to me. I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Like previous posters have said. She took me on pro bono snd then tried to take 2500 from my measley 7500 settlement. She is very cruel. I'm a domestic violence victim and the letter she wrote me caused me anxiety for days. And then she dropped my case. Has anyone thought of suing her for legal malpractice? No contact, postphoned hearings and negotiations. My husband cancelled my insurance 3 months before we were divorced and she did nothing. I also had a warrant for my arrest that she never even found. My ex had filed a false domestic violence lawsuit--which she could never "get the document for." HUH? As a result I have 1000s in medical bills and no recourse..Stay away if you're a DV victim--she doesnt have a heart and will turn on you like a rabid dog. And yes, I'm female.

I would never never never recommend this attorney to anyone. We came to her for help with a restrainin order and to investigate the well-being of two Liberian children. We traveled to WA from another state to appear in court but she never even got the chance to let us speak. She cowered in court which was a 180 degree change from her demeanor in the office. She took it upon herself to "reasearch" international adoptions. She did this without our consent and then charged us over $800 for her time. When we chanllenged the bill - hold on to your hats because she became very abusive and threatening in email and essentially fired us as clients right on the spot. She never did bring the situationn to closure. She has a temper that will make your head spin. Do NOT risk your time and money with her.

I had Anne handle my divorce, after I was already sunk. My soon to be ex-husband at the time was very violent. Anne was wonderful and got me back more than I could ever have imagined. She was also very considerate through it all.

My wife and I have used Anne for several years as our attorney, both for routine matters, and for some not so routine. We could not be more delighted with her performance in all the various matters she has handled for us. She is, in addition, an exceptional human being. In addition to her own impeccable personal integrity, we know for a fact she is extremely dedicated to serving unfortunate people in difficult circumstances who are most needful of sympathetic legal services. Anne brings the highest standards of law to her profession, and we do not believe that you can find a finer lawyer, or person, than Anne Redford-Hall. We highly recommend her.

Wonderful experiance I truly believe I was being victimized by the court system.My case was at least 5 yrs along when Anne came aboard. Child support or paternity had not yet been established.I still had to allow visitation. However, Anne was able to help me she took the time to explain the process and show me There was hope. Today my childern and I are together happy and at peace. The chaos is over. My childern were young they needed to be childern. Annes' professionalism and knowledge has proven she was the best lawyer for me.I truly know in my heart Anne cared for me and my childern. I know I am thankful and truly care about Anne.

I am super lucky to have Anne as my attorney. She is caring and really stays in my shoes to advise and help me. With her professional help, my life becomes easier. Anne is not only an expert, but also my good friend who truly cares about me. My whole family deeply appreciates all Anne's help and concerns.

Ann Redford Hall is an expert in family law and especially cases involving intimate partner violence. But she's more than an expert: she passionately cares about victims of domestic violence, and about justice. She is no-nonsense, dedicated, energetic, smart and tenacious.

I have recently come from the worst lawyer in Olympia. He dug me in a whole with his incompetence. I felt what my scorned ex was doing to me and my character would forever be in the courts. I lost my daughter. In the world of divorce where the stakes are beyond high and lives are being destroyed, I have found that there is hope through her tough tactics and strategies. Having met her I was hopeful for the first time in a very long time but was hesitant. Anne was able to get my daughter back with me. Anne is a professional and knows her job. Any experienced professional will do it a certain way. The stakes ARE high and as I see it, Anne sees no room for error and will not allow any. Her intensity maybe hard to work with for some, but if you want success… Anne is worth every dollar spent. I am a 39 year old man, a professional, and know that good work is not free and it is worth paying for. I recommend Anne Redford without hesitation to anyone seeking legal counsel. Thank You Anne.

I was in legal limbo for 12 years because no lawyer would take my case. It's more complicated than I can go into here, but Anne gave my children and I our freedom back. She didn't just jump in blindly, but she did her research. Anne is very passionate about her work and treats her clients with great kindness, honesty, dignity, and respect. After Anne took on my case, I called my parents and said, "You're not going to believe this, but I actually like my lawyer." It took 12 years, with a lawyer joke calendar for each of those years, before finding a lawyer worthy of my trust. My point is, that after years of digging in the rubble, it was easy to recognize Anne for the gem that she is. I would highly recommend her to any woman who is dealing with domestic violence and REALLY wants the best interest of her children to be heard. The staff in her office are equally compassionate and kind. The quality of the work is excellent, and the billing is fair and honest. Anne's office is the best!

In my experience Anne knows the other lawyers in town and knows when to fight and when to come to an agreement. She has never steered us wrong. Keep up the good work Anne!

I have been going through a very nasty divorce for over a year, Anne was commended to me by a dear friend who has worked with Anne on many occasions, She and her office staff, the paralegals have all been there for me, they have driven to meet me at my work, just so I didnt have to miss time off to sign documents, they return every e-mail/phone call and there are a lot. I honestly don't know what I would be doing with out Anne, she has made my chaotic/stressful life dealing with the divorce and custody of my son worth it. Anne is compassionate, caring and sensitive to my needs, she has always put the best interest of my son first. I would recommend Anne and her staff to anyone going through what I am. She is wonderful!

This attorney has gone through 5 support staff and at least 5 attorneys in a year and a half. As previous rater said, when you disagree with her, she will get irate. Unfortunately I have seen her do this to her staff as well. It is unfortunate that she feels she has to treat others this way. I'm not surprised she can't keep staff or other attorneys in her office.

When I first went in to see her for the consulation she sounded wonderful. But she didn't do a single thing she said she was going to do pertaining to my divorce. I honestly could have done better myself. None of the paperwork got to the people it needed to. Phone calls were rarely returned. My name was even spelled wrong on documents. That is just pathetic. I would never choose to use her again. My family has been severely hurt choosing to use her.

If you dare to express concerns over her staffing problems, inconsistent information given between her and her other attorneys/staff members, her taking shortcuts by cutting-and-pasting prior attorney's work that you previously disagreed with, inquire about invoice discrepancies, or try to correct her on her attack on you for not reading alleged attachments that you never got... well, be forewarned, this spin artist will spin it all around on you, even call you out to have behavioral problems, mental issues, etc., in e-mails. If you choose to meet with her to address your concerns, be prepared for her to throw her hands up in the air and begin shouting at you. I was always only friendly, kind, warm, etc. with this woman, even when she lost her temper. I went through enough hurt in my marriage though; I didn't need this from my own attorney. I think Anne needs to retire and seek therapy for her problems instead of taking it out on her female clients who've suffered enough.

When my son needed a Family Law attorney, I asked around for the best and was referred to Anne Redford-Hall. His case was a very complex matter with domestic violence, disability and mental health issues. Ms. Redford-Hall got up-to-speed quickly and stayed there. Diligent and effective, she overcome obstacles in a system which is not always neutral to fathers or the disabled. She understands the dynamics of domestic violence and knows it can be perpetrated by women as well as men. Anne is not the type of attorney to run up fees unnecessarily nor to be so wrapped up in beating the other attorney that she makes more work for both parties. Has good problem-solving skills, but the personality disordered always make a case difficult to resolve. If you want the best, you need to expect to pay for it. While Anne offers free domestic violence clinics for victims, she does need to pay the bills. She has become more than a legal counselor, she is a friend of the family. I highly recommend her.

I have had such a bad experience with this attorney. She talks fast and makes you rack up your bill without even doing anything. Their method is copy cut and paste. There is no effort in their guidance. Don't waste your money. They will yell at you and abuse you more than what you have already been through. They won't believe you even when you tell the truth. Anne especially is cruel. She will eat your heart because she doesn't have one.

Ms Redford-Hall shows much passion for what she believes thus the "five" for Tenacity. She sold me on her eager attitude to make a difference in my abuse situation. As for timeliness in returning calls she failed my case. Knowledge of law, communication, work quality, and value where all put in question for me when I was left homeless waiting for her to respond to my emergent domestic violence situation, over several months of repeated calls to her office.
