Specialisms

Anna’s clients are frequently unaccustomed to the challenges of both relationship breakdowns and litigation, understandably finding the experience daunting at best and terrifying at worst. Drawing from her two decades of experience in family law, Anna has honed the ability to provide clear advice and effective support. She strives to alleviate the inherent unease by not dwelling on the difficulties at hand but instead, by focusing on the positive outcomes sought and guiding her clients along a constructive path to resolution. In her approach, Anna actively seeks out the silver lining in each situation, injecting a sense of humor and perspective whenever possible.
