Anne Thompson de Magaña

Senior Associate Attorney

Anne Thompson de Magaña is known for her genuine compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients. She goes above and beyond, tailoring her approach to each client's unique circumstances.

Anne began her legal career as a criminal appellate attorney, where she achieved significant success. However, her desire for a more personal connection with clients led her to transition into family law. Anne believes family law stands apart from other legal fields, as each case reflects the uniqueness of every family. She describes the practice as more of an art than a science, where success hinges on adaptability, creative problem-solving, and empathy for the emotional challenges clients face. Anne emphasizes, "Every client deserves the best, no matter how complex their individual needs."

A fluent Spanish speaker, Anne maintains a fully bilingual practice, which has enabled her to work extensively with Latin American clients and address cross-border legal matters. Her substantial experience with cultural issues has proven invaluable in international family law cases, particularly those involving custody, asset division, and property disputes. She prioritizes cultural sensitivity, recognizing that a deep understanding of a client’s cultural background is critical in avoiding misjudgments and achieving favorable results.

Anne also continues to practice appellate law, and leverages her criminal experience to represent clients in criminal cases that often intersect with family law, such as those involving domestic issues with unique legal implications.

Committed to continuous learning, Anne stays at the forefront of emerging legal challenges. She has recently expanded her expertise to include cryptocurrency matters and is passionate about staying informed in our increasingly globalized legal landscape.

Outside the office, Anne cherishes time with her husband, stepdaughters, and her rescue dog, Bee. She enjoys international travel and is a dedicated Georgia Bulldogs fan.
