Ann Littell Mills practices in the areas of family law, worker’s compensation and business law.
Ann’s philosophy on practicing law:
“I believe in preparing my cases for trial, but I know settlement is not weakness. It is an informed decision made by the client, weighing all aspects of the case and their individual situation in life. It allows the client to retain control over their destinies. Sometimes, an agreement cannot be reached. When the points of view are just too far apart, it is time to assemble all of your ammunition, and go to trial.”
