Negative stars not available! Worst attorney ever! Please save yourself time, a headache and money STAY AWAY. She presented herself as someone who knew the law and could help with a divorce. She charged for things she nor her staff could justify! I cannot understand how someone so ignorant could pass the bar. She is a LIAR and a washed up want to be attorney who has no business in the courtroom! To top everything off she accused me of lying and committing a crime. For that I am filing a grievance with the Washington State Bar to have her punished for her malpractice and negligence!

I'd give a negative star if possible. She sold me at consultation that she was the attorney for the job. I had trial to prepare for and needed a good attorney to prepare me. She quoted me $15,000 for a 2 day trial, and charged me $33,000 when it ended up being a 1-day trial. She was dishonest in her billing as well. She also did not prepare me for trial as we discussed and threw a temper tantrum the day before trial wanting me to settle so she didn't have to go to trial. Then refused to prepare me because I didn't want to settle at the time. She waited 5 months to convince me to settle, and it was the day before trial. She used intimidation, manipulation, and bullying when I wanted to go a course she didn't want. Super defensive whenever I suggested a course that she didn't understand. Several Rules of Professional conduct were violated. Her advertisement as a domestic violence advocate is misleading. I don't want any victims of DV, especially those who experienced mental and emotional abuse, to have to experience what I went through. I should have considered more seriously the negative reviews I had read prior. I hope you will avoid this pitfall if reading this review.

Watch out for this place! Big time scammers and liars! They do not care about you or your case, and they do not care about the welfare of children! All they care about is reaching in your pockets so they could steal your money!
Ms. Redford is a very honest lawyer. She might come across as rude, but instead she is just trying to make sure that you do not have unrealistic expectations. She tells it like it is, tells you what is needed, and then does all she can to get you the best end result there is. She did amazing work for me, and a divorce isn't an easy thing to go through especially when you have children, but she made it bearable and as easy on me as possible. If you're looking for someone to represent you, and to get you the best end result possible, look no further. If you are looking for someone who tells you what you want to hear, and if you don't want to do what is needed yourself to make this work, then Anne is not the right lawyer for you. She is the best one you can find, and she is also the most honest one you will find.

If you're looking for someone to represent you in a divorce case with children, look no further. Anne is fair, and good at what she does.The paralegals of this law firm were very helpful and knowledgeable.They have heart for your case, but keep it real. She tells it like it is, and makes no promises that she cannot keep. That's what you'll want, if you need representation with knowledge instead of empty promises. When I first went to my initial consultation I was feeling hopeless, Anne talked me through the different steps that were needed to get through my case. She was very upfront with me to make sure I knew what to expect, and what was realizable. She was honest, and she did exactly what we discussed. I truly admire her for her straight forwardness, as my previous lawyer promised me the world but never delivered. I can recommend Redford law firm to anyone who wants real representation, and not someone who promises everything but you end up broke and worse than when you started. With Redford law this will not happen.

If you want a lawyer that will tell it like it is, not just what you want to hear, then this is who you want. If you don't know what to expect, Anne may come across as rude, but she's really not. She's just has a no b.s. attitude, which honestly helped. She made sure I didn't have unrealistic expectations, but got what I wanted. If you need a lawyer who will stick up for you, give you a reality check but not babysit you, and knows how to play hardball, Anne is for you. If I could turn back time, the only thing I would have done differently would have been to hire her sooner!

Zero stars would be more accurate but would not post. I regret that I did not write a review some time back when I retained and subsequently fired Ms Redford Hall. I also regret that I did not call the police after her threatening behavior. She uses her apparent intellectual understanding of domestic violence and the difficulty of addressing it within our legal system to her advantage. Just like domestic violence perpetrators she seems to know how to navigate under the radar of detection. I unsuccessfully filed a complaint with the BAR only to cause her to unleash her vehemence utilizing all of the confidences I had given her. In my opinion, this is an extremely unbalanced, likely mentally ill, person. I believe she is extremely dangerous. I would welcome an opportunity to testify against her should someone need corroboration. Do not meet with her without a witness present at all times.

Horrible customer service over the phone when dealing with a business to business matter. No need to be rude to the person trying to pay you.

This law office is completely incompetent, from cancelling my appointments at the last minute with no notice, to forgetting to reply, to forgetting to email my proofs, Diane the secretary literally told me that herself, the paralegal and Anne Redford all had completely unrelated personal emergencies every day for a whole week and thats why they "dropped the ball" on my case. You will for sure be just a number to this firm. They do not care either which way about their clients or potential clients and after ruining my case, all I got was an "oops" and the secretary tried to cover it up and wont even provide people with Annes email to complain. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY IF YOU CASE IS VALUABLE TO YOU!

Ms. Redford is a tirant and unworthy of anyone's time. I would never use her again. She is more interested in furthering her own agenda than helping her clients and her belittling attitude is appalling. She is a bully and believes that she is somehow of greater importance than her clients and staff. She clearly has anger management issues and preys upon people who put there faith in her when they are at their most dire need. Whilst asking her a valid question she screeched over me that she was the one asking questions not me. Needless to say I did not hand over the $3,000 she wanted as a retainer! She seems to operate on instilling fear and bullying, neither things that work well with clients of abuse. Steer clear of this one, there are so many more qualified attorneys of quality. No one needs her drama and baggage.

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.
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.
Anne is an angry misanthrope who bullies her junior attys, her staff and her clients. If you dare to disagree with her, she switches from venomously attacking the opposing party to venomously attacking YOU. She browbeats her staff in front of clients; she yells sarcastically at clients and her cowed young junior attys alike; and the practice is run on a constant-crisis basis, with no forewarning about court deadlines and no regard for the destructive effect on clients' jobs and peace of mind. Clients are billed for unreturned calls, emails and texts, and then mocked for their inability to pay unexpectedly high bills. This atty works with victims because she is only comfortable in an abusive/bully role herself. Stay away if you wish to be treated with respect and kindness.
