I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3. Anne has extensive experience in dealing with Chinese family cases, and she really understands the culture aspect of it. 4. Anne is compassionate, she truly cares her clients. You will feel this when you meet and work with her, examples are just too pale. It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attorneys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Without hesitation I would recommend Anne Fokstuen. I engaged Anne on a complex scenario regarding international divorce and domicile. This was a potentially life changing event and something that filled me with fear and dread. Anne was supportive and reassuring from the outset. Her knowledge of US law and international considerations is without doubt. Anne always made herself available to speak with me and kept me updated throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and her attention to detail helped immensely. I would be very happy to work with Anne again, and I would recommend her to all.

Lawyer Anne R. Fokstuen was wonderful, she was helping a friend of mine with a pre-nupt, and was very patient, genuinely caring, extremely thorough, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend Anne R. Fokstuen.

Anne served as my attorney for my divorce. Whenever I interacted with her, I always felt that she was a close, warm, and familiar presence. She was focused and devoted to my case, and I am certain she provides the same excellent representation to all her clients. I felt that her work was always accurate and fast and that her decisions were always well thought out. Prior to Anne taking on my case, it moved slowly and there were many delays, but once Anne stepped in as my attorney, the resolution of my case was fast and efficient. She was able to quickly get in contact with opposing counsel and there were no unnecessary delays in my case. If I ever have any future concerns, I am certain that I will go to her. For me to have this day is all due to Anne and my translator Eric. I am very grateful to have been saved by them. I am now independent and I feel that my life has meaning. Most importantly, my two children are happy. Thank you Anne!

I worked with Anne as a translator for a divorce. She was always professional and courteous. She was also punctual and respectful of our time. Anne was careful to ensure not only the client was informed, but understood everything she conveyed. Anne took on the case after it had drew on for quite a while but her persuasiveness and advocacy brought the case to a swift and positive end. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Ms. Fokstuen came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with move-away proceedings (although my ex ended up agreeing to the move early in the process so we didn't end up going to trial), and helped me draft a stipulation, as well as helped me through some difficult situations that came up. She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Fokstuen was more interested in being liked by opposing counsel than ensuring that I got the bare minimum that I was entitled to by the law. Not only did she suggest I accept 1/7th less than what I ended up getting after hiring another lawyer, she went out of her way to tell opposing counsel that she agreed that I should get less than what my spouse *already agreed to*. She refused to answer why she did this. While searching for new counsel, during the consultations, many lawyers reviewed her work and said it was terrible and poorly prepared. One lawyer told me that she used to work in another area of law and just decided to be a divorce attorney one day and has no idea what she's doing. Based on my experience, I would agree. I have several emails where she flat out gave me incorrect information and when I called her on it, she just stopped responding. She over-charges and does the absolute bare minimum. Given that her peers told me to report her to the state bar, I urge you to do you research if you're considering her to save yourself the strife. I'll be taking these lawyers advice and escalating her absolutely awful representation of me. I'm as happy as I can be with the outcome I got with a different lawyer but I know I lost thousands of dollars due to Anne Fokstuen's negligence and ineptitude.

For me to have this day is all due to Anne and my translator Eric. I am very grateful to have been saved by them. I am now independent and I feel that my life has meaning. Most importantly, my two children are happy. Thank you Anne!

I worked with Anne as a translator for a divorce. She was always professional and courteous. She was also punctual and respectful of our time. Anne was careful to ensure not only the client was informed, but understood everything she conveyed. Anne took on the case after it had drew on for quite a while but her persuasiveness and advocacy brought the case to a swift and positive end. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Ms. Fokstuen came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with move-away proceedings (although my ex ended up agreeing to the move early in the process so we didn't end up going to trial), and helped me draft a stipulation, as well as helped me through some difficult situations that came up. She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Fokstuen was more interested in being liked by opposing counsel than ensuring that I got the bare minimum that I was entitled to by the law. Not only did she suggest I accept 1/7th less than what I ended up getting after hiring another lawyer, she went out of her way to tell opposing counsel that she agreed that I should get less than what my spouse *already agreed to*. She refused to answer why she did this. While searching for new counsel, during the consultations, many lawyers reviewed her work and said it was terrible and poorly prepared. One lawyer told me that she used to work in another area of law and just decided to be a divorce attorney one day and has no idea what she's doing. Based on my experience, I would agree. I have several emails where she flat out gave me incorrect information and when I called her on it, she just stopped responding. She over-charges and does the absolute bare minimum. Given that her peers told me to report her to the state bar, I urge you to do you research if you're considering her to save yourself the strife. I'll be taking these lawyers advice and escalating her absolutely awful representation of me. I'm as happy as I can be with the outcome I got with a different lawyer but I know I lost thousands of dollars due to Anne Fokstuen's negligence and ineptitude.

I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3. Anne has extensive experience in dealing with Chinese family cases, and she really understands the culture aspect of it. 4. Anne is compassionate, she truly cares her clients. You will feel this when you meet and work with her, examples are just too pale. It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attorneys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Without hesitation I would recommend Anne Fokstuen. I engaged Anne on a complex scenario regarding international divorce and domicile. This was a potentially life changing event and something that filled me with fear and dread. Anne was supportive and reassuring from the outset. Her knowledge of US law and international considerations is without doubt. Anne always made herself available to speak with me and kept me updated throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and her attention to detail helped immensely. I would be very happy to work with Anne again, and I would recommend her to all.

Lawyer Anne R. Fokstuen was wonderful, she was helping a friend of mine with a pre-nupt, and was very patient, genuinely caring, extremely thorough, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend Anne R. Fokstuen.

Anne served as my attorney for my divorce. Whenever I interacted with her, I always felt that she was a close, warm, and familiar presence. She was focused and devoted to my case, and I am certain she provides the same excellent representation to all her clients. I felt that her work was always accurate and fast and that her decisions were always well thought out. Prior to Anne taking on my case, it moved slowly and there were many delays, but once Anne stepped in as my attorney, the resolution of my case was fast and efficient.

It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attorneys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Without hesitation I would recommend Anne Fokstuen. I engaged Anne on a complex scenario regarding international divorce and domicile. This was a potentially life changing event and something that filled me with fear and dread. Anne was supportive and reassuring from the outset. Her knowledge of US law and international considerations is without doubt. Anne always made herself available to speak with me and kept me updated throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and her attention to detail helped immensely. I would be very happy to work with Anne again, and I would recommend her to all.

Lawyer Anne R. Fokstuen was wonderful, she was helping a friend of mine with a pre-nupt, and was very patient, genuinely caring, extremely thorough, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend Anne R. Fokstuen.

Anne served as my attorney for my divorce. Whenever I interacted with her, I always felt that she was a close, warm, and familiar presence. She was focused and devoted to my case, and I am certain she provides the same excellent representation to all her clients. I felt that her work was always accurate and fast and that her decisions were always well thought out. Prior to Anne taking on my case, it moved slowly and there were many delays, but once Anne stepped in as my attorney, the resolution of my case was fast and efficient. She was able to quickly get in contact with opposing counsel and there were no unnecessary delays in my case. If I ever have any future concerns, I am certain that I will go to her. For me to have this day is all due to Anne and my translator Eric. I am very grateful to have been saved by them. I am now independent and I feel that my life has meaning. Most importantly, my two children are happy. Thank you Anne!

I worked with Anne as a translator for a divorce. She was always professional and courteous. She was also punctual and respectful of our time. Anne was careful to ensure not only the client was informed, but understood everything she conveyed. Anne took on the case after it had drew on for quite a while but her persuasiveness and advocacy brought the case to a swift and positive end. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Ms. Fokstuen came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with move-away proceedings (although my ex ended up agreeing to the move early in the process so we didn't end up going to trial), and helped me draft a stipulation, as well as helped me through some difficult situations that came up. She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Fokstuen was more interested in being liked by opposing counsel than ensuring that I got the bare minimum that I was entitled to by the law. Not only did she suggest I accept 1/7th less than what I ended up getting after hiring another lawyer, she went out of her way to tell opposing counsel that she agreed that I should get less than what my spouse *already agreed to*. She refused to answer why she did this. While searching for new counsel, during the consultations, many lawyers reviewed her work and said it was terrible and poorly prepared. One lawyer told me that she used to work in another area of law and just decided to be a divorce attorney one day and has no idea what she's doing. Based on my experience, I would agree. I have several emails where she flat out gave me incorrect information and when I called her on it, she just stopped responding. She over-charges and does the absolute bare minimum. Given that her peers told me to report her to the state bar, I urge you to do you research if you're considering her to save yourself the strife. I'll be taking these lawyers advice and escalating her absolutely awful representation of me. I'm as happy as I can be with the outcome I got with a different lawyer but I know I lost thousands of dollars due to Anne Fokstuen's negligence and ineptitude.

I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3.

She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Fokstuen was more interested in being liked by opposing counsel than ensuring that I got the bare minimum that I was entitled to by the law. Not only did she suggest I accept 1/7th less than what I ended up getting after hiring another lawyer, she went out of her way to tell opposing counsel that she agreed that I should get less than what my spouse *already agreed to*. She refused to answer why she did this. While searching for new counsel, during the consultations, many lawyers reviewed her work and said it was terrible and poorly prepared. One lawyer told me that she used to work in another area of law and just decided to be a divorce attorney one day and has no idea what she's doing. Based on my experience, I would agree. I have several emails where she flat out gave me incorrect information and when I called her on it, she just stopped responding. She over-charges and does the absolute bare minimum. Given that her peers told me to report her to the state bar, I urge you to do you research if you're considering her to save yourself the strife. I'll be taking these lawyers advice and escalating her absolutely awful representation of me. I'm as happy as I can be with the outcome I got with a different lawyer but I know I lost thousands of dollars due to Anne Fokstuen's negligence and ineptitude.

I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3. Anne has extensive experience in dealing with Chinese family cases, and she really understands the culture aspect of it. 4. Anne is compassionate, she truly cares her clients. You will feel this when you meet and work with her, examples are just too pale. It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attorneys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Without hesitation I would recommend Anne Fokstuen. I engaged Anne on a complex scenario regarding international divorce and domicile. This was a potentially life changing event and something that filled me with fear and dread. Anne was supportive and reassuring from the outset. Her knowledge of US law and international considerations is without doubt. Anne always made herself available to speak with me and kept me updated throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and her attention to detail helped immensely. I would be very happy to work with Anne again, and I would recommend her to all.

Lawyer Anne R. Fokstuen was wonderful, she was helping a friend of mine with a pre-nupt, and was very patient, genuinely caring, extremely thorough, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend Anne R. Fokstuen.

Anne served as my attorney for my divorce. Whenever I interacted with her, I always felt that she was a close, warm, and familiar presence. She was focused and devoted to my case, and I am certain she provides the same excellent representation to all her clients. I felt that her work was always accurate and fast and that her decisions were always well thought out. Prior to Anne taking on my case, it moved slowly and there were many delays, but once Anne stepped in as my attorney, the resolution of my case was fast and efficient. She was able to quickly get in contact with opposing counsel and there were no unnecessary delays in my case. If I ever have any future concerns, I am certain that I will go to her. For me to have this day is all due to Anne and my translator Eric. I am very grateful to have been saved by them. I am now independent and I feel that my life has meaning. Most importantly, my two children are happy. Thank you Anne!

I worked with Anne as a translator for a divorce. She was always professional and courteous. She was also punctual and respectful of our time. Anne was careful to ensure not only the client was informed, but understood everything she conveyed. Anne took on the case after it had drew on for quite a while but her persuasiveness and advocacy brought the case to a swift and positive end. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Anne was referred to me by an attorney spouse of a very close friend. I also saw her name pop up on a community app called "NEXT-DOOR" and she was highly recommended by a fellow attorney. Having her peers speak so highly of Anne speaks volume on her character and integrity. I spoke to 3 other attorneys and Anne was the most I felt comfortable and someone I felt would be a good fit to what I needed. I chose Anne bc i felt her sincerity and she never gave me the "Shark Lawyer" feeling on out to get your ex. but, at the same time I needed someone like her to protect my rights and what is due to me. Throughout the whole process, Anne made it more tolerable for me by being responsive with any questions I have, thoughtfully giving me options and also considering my ex reactions and feelings but most of all Anne cautiously crafted a plan that allowed me to keep my home and provide stability for my children. Anne's expertise and knowledge was also amazing. I also appreciated the fact that I work with Anne directly rather than a legal assistant. Thank you Anne for making a difficult time in my life more tolerable and giving me hope throughout the process. I am so happy with the outcome. I truly am blessed to have you as my attorney and would not have been able to achieve my goals without you. I am truly grateful to have work with you.

Without hesitation I would recommend Anne Fokstuen. I engaged Anne on a complex scenario regarding international divorce and domicile. This was a potentially life changing event and something that filled me with fear and dread. Anne was supportive and reassuring from the outset. Her knowledge of US law and international considerations is without doubt. Anne always made herself available to speak with me and kept me updated throughout the process. Her calm demeanor and her attention to detail helped immensely. I would be very happy to work with Anne again, and I would recommend her to all.

Lawyer Anne R. Fokstuen was wonderful, she was helping a friend of mine with a pre-nupt, and was very patient, genuinely caring, extremely thorough, and just a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend Anne R. Fokstuen.

Anne served as my attorney for my divorce. Whenever I interacted with her, I always felt that she was a close, warm, and familiar presence. She was focused and devoted to my case, and I am certain she provides the same excellent representation to all her clients. I felt that her work was always accurate and fast and that her decisions were always well thought out. Prior to Anne taking on my case, it moved slowly and there were many delays, but once Anne stepped in as my attorney, the resolution of my case was fast and efficient. She was able to quickly get in contact with opposing counsel and there were no unnecessary delays in my case. If I ever have any future concerns, I am certain that I will go to her. For me to have this day is all due to Anne and my translator Eric. I am very grateful to have been saved by them. I am now independent and I feel that my life has meaning. Most importantly, my two children are happy. Thank you Anne!

I worked with Anne as a translator for a divorce. She was always professional and courteous. She was also punctual and respectful of our time. Anne was careful to ensure not only the client was informed, but understood everything she conveyed. Anne took on the case after it had drew on for quite a while but her persuasiveness and advocacy brought the case to a swift and positive end. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Ms. Fokstuen came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with move-away proceedings (although my ex ended up agreeing to the move early in the process so we didn't end up going to trial), and helped me draft a stipulation, as well as helped me through some difficult situations that came up. She was very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she is not a "shark," rather, she is good at helping you achieve your goals in a grown-up fashion. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my son as people and focused on what I wanted rather than on "winning." I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Fokstuen was more interested in being liked by opposing counsel than ensuring that I got the bare minimum that I was entitled to by the law. Not only did she suggest I accept 1/7th less than what I ended up getting after hiring another lawyer, she went out of her way to tell opposing counsel that she agreed that I should get less than what my spouse *already agreed to*. She refused to answer why she did this. While searching for new counsel, during the consultations, many lawyers reviewed her work and said it was terrible and poorly prepared. One lawyer told me that she used to work in another area of law and just decided to be a divorce attorney one day and has no idea what she's doing. Based on my experience, I would agree. I have several emails where she flat out gave me incorrect information and when I called her on it, she just stopped responding. She over-charges and does the absolute bare minimum. Given that her peers told me to report her to the state bar, I urge you to do you research if you're considering her to save yourself the strife. I'll be taking these lawyers advice and escalating her absolutely awful representation of me. I'm as happy as I can be with the outcome I got with a different lawyer but I know I lost thousands of dollars due to Anne Fokstuen's negligence and ineptitude.

I hired Anne as my divorce attorney after 2 years with a previous attorney unable to deal with my contentious divorce. She was able to stand firm despite the respondent’s unreasonable demands and obstructions. She was able to be a strong advocate for me while maintaining her professionalism. She was like velvet armor, and will not bow to distractions. I found her warm and compassionate, balanced with her unyielding determination to bring closure to my divorce. I would recommend Anne without reservation.

1. Don't worry about distance if you are locked in South Bay. This was my concern in the beginning, and it turned out communication is not impacted in my experience, as Anne is very responsive and articulate, no matter you choose to communicate by emails or phone. 2. Anne is extremely experienced in divorce cases. Her extensive experience turns into a more direct and effective method when it comes to solving your problem. Her approach is to the point. And this key piece of difference from her compared to other typical family lawyers will make the big difference. 3. Anne has extensive experience in dealing with Chinese family cases, and she really understands the culture aspect of it. 4. Anne is compassionate, she truly cares her clients. You will feel this when you meet and work with her, examples are just too pale. It is not about how lawyers remembers your case, rather you need a truly compassionate lawyer who can feel your pain and thus work towards resolving it. 5. DONT worry about commute cost if you are locked in South Bay, she is very fair on that.

I hired Anne to be my attorney when I lost custody of my son. As a domestic violence victim I was devasted when the court ruled against me. But my friends wanted me to fight to get my son back and I hired Anne to help get my son back. She fought for me and one year later I got joint legal custody and primary physical custody because of Anne. She is a wonderful lawyer who really cares about me and my son. After I hired her I can sleep at night.
