I employed this lawyer 18 years ago for a divorce. I paid a flat rate of $3000. She gave me a no fault divorce. I was too traumatized to challenge this. My husband got off with almost 2 million dollars. I think that she could have at least checked his assets. My disabled daughter and I have been living in a car for 8 years. She is very ill and I am 76 years old.

My decree is a complete mess as was the process. Ann is not out for her clients. She is interested in earning favors with other attorneys. I was a single mom with no family and I left my ex with 5k. Nothing else. I spent that on Ann's retainer. It was the worst investment. I ended up with a bill of 15k. This was including phone calls I was charged for her to place me on hold to deal with her grandchildren. During mediation she called my ex an A**hole and he walked out. She also fought with her husband on my time. Her reputation is sadly misleading. I learned the hard way.

Ann Coover was the mediator for a child support case of mine. She boost about having a high success rate but I feel this was simply obtained through the use persuasive talking, belittling, and making the person question their capability of winning the case outside of mediation. Any and all service members, spouses, former spouses should definitely find other counsel or mediator as she is clueless to any laws that may be different in these types of cases. The fee of $950 for her to do just whatever is easiest at the end of the day is not worth it.

Ann Coover is professional and thorough. She is polite and super efficient. her staff is helpful and friendly and Mrs Coover always returned my calls within a day. She gets results and let me decide how I wanted the case to proceed. I chose mediation and it worked out great.

I used ann Coover in my divorce; and she was rude, coves ending, enjoyed putting others down, but more importantly, she does not do her job. I trusted Ann Coover to be my advocate and to have my best interests. Ann Coover ,not once, pursued to any depositions, she relied on someone else to evaluate the assets (after having to pay $5000 to secure a forensic CPA of her choice- who was a joke). The CPA she always uses hadn't looked at of my discovery until probably the night before my mediation. It was a waste of money. During my case , her legal secretary that I conversed with quit and started working for my ex husbands lawyer, and even after telling mrs Coover multiple times that that doesn't seem correct- she blew me off and didn't think it was a problem. I could list several other issues that she did and what she did not do but I do not think they would print it. So all I'd like to say is , Ann Coover was a mistake to use and a huge money pit. She abused her title- and did not act ho

I had heard that Ann Coover was gruff prior to my consultation, and I was fine with that. However I was not prepared to be belittled for things like not completing my college education when I moved overseas with my military husband. As that had nothing to do with the divorce, it was completely uncalled for. She couldn't be bothered do simple math when discussing our assets and debts, and finally told me I should just call my husband's lawyer myself, try to work it out unrepresented despite him have one of the best lawyers in town. Oh, and she received and sent at least four text messages during the consultation. I assume she couldn't be bothered with me because I don't have as much income as my husband does. She did give me some advice, however the guidance that I should go unrepresented in a divorce where my husband has refused all communication and hidden assets perplexes me.

The best attorney in town. She was prompt, careful and helpful in everyway. Many of my friends complained about other lawyers not returnign calls, slow reactions, etc. That is not the case with this lawfirm. I was so impressed with the staff as well.

I feel compelled to add my very positive rating here after reading the others. I can only rate one time. Ann represented me in two, yes two, nasty divorces. My first divorce adversary was herself a very talented attorney and challenged every word and statement of fact. Ann was extremely patient and aggressive, giving no ground. Ultimately we were successful, with me being satisfied with achieving my desired result in the most economical manor. My second divorce was vicious. My wife of less than a year wanted everything and truly felt she had a right to it all. In this case, a somewhat different approach was necessary. Ann was able to reason with her and point out our strength position under the Texas law. My, now ex, was finally able to see the truth of the positions and settled for something very reasonable. Your attorney can only work with the information you give them and you must know what you want to achieve. You must describe what you want and tell the truth. Ann is a very good.

While Mrs. Coover is a nice person, she did not do me a good service. For my divorce I mediated instead of going to court. The mediating attorney worked out of the same office as my former husbands atty and I did not find out until a year later. Bad deals were made in the mediation. Example, My ex took out a loan on my truck that was fully paid for. In mediation if I wanted to keep the vehicle Coover steered me to accept that the loan payment come out of my child's support. So basically I am paying for his loan. And since I am not on the loan here I am 3 years later and the bank won't give me the payoff value and my ex won't tell me the terms of the loan. Also read your paperwork VERY closely. She made major mistakes. If a policeman cannot understand your decree they won't help you when your ex breaks the rules. I am still fighting legal battles because of her shoddy work and I have been divorced 3 years. If you do not have deep pockets you are not important to Coover.

Ann comes across tough in the beginning, but if you have more than one hearing she feels she doesn't need to sound as prepared I guess. My last hearing she sounded like an unprepared fool and made our case worse. Plus she is VERY CONDESCENDING, RUDE, and HOT TEMPERED with her clients. She wants to determine what your wants are and doesn't appreciate any negative feedback. You can get better service for cheaper and probably better results. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Mrs. Coover is smart, tenacious and careful. Her calm in the face of adversity made me confident of a fair result which I got. You will not be sorry if you are able to hire her . She is not the cheapest but I found her to be worth every penny.

She was my divorce lawyer. Got my ex to pay her fee and got me half of his retirement and everything he had and I kept the house and all of my retirement and savings. Plus extra monthly spousal support. I only had her and he had 2 attorneys. Didn't do him any good. She is expensive but you won't regret it. Love you Ann....

Excellent results. A winner all the way. Cut-throat negotiator, persuasive, stern and steady in the face of adversity, and all because of her ability, knowledge and skill...by far the fear of every other divorce attorney in Nueces County and the surrounding area.... Not cheap, but worth every penny. Thanks Ann! You Rock!!!!

Ann Coover took $300 from me for a 45 minute "initial consultation" and agreed to represent me if my ex filed a custody action. Then, when ex did file, she tells me she's too busy and refuses to return my money, as if her consultation is worth something when I now have to start all over with a new lawyer.
