Lee Ann Anand provided competent representation in a complex environmental litigation matter, leveraging her 28 years of experience to navigate regulatory challenges. Her strategic approach, honed through her work with major corporations, was evident in how she managed the case. However, communication could have been more proactive—updates often came late, and follow-up required additional prompting.

She delivered results, but the process felt slower than anticipated. For clients who prioritize thoroughness over speed, her knowledge is undeniably valuable, though responsiveness remains an area for improvement.
