Annie M. Coleman is one of only a handful of family law attorneys that exclusively practices family law yet also possesses an advanced law degree in taxation.  This unique skill set and Annie's deep understanding of financial and tax matters gives her clients a tremendous advantage.  Annie strives to provide her clients with the highest level of professional service.  One of Annie's strengths is her ability to provide compassionate advice to her clients while at the same time providing vigorous representation of her clients in her interactions with judicial officers, opposing parties, and their attorneys.

Annie has a distinguished academic background. She earned her law degree, Magna Cum Laude from Whittier Law School, where she served on the Trial Advocacy Honors Board and where she was on the Dean's list and Honor's roll every year.  In addition to those honors, Annie also received the prestigious CALI award in taxation while at Whittier Law School.   After graduating from Whittier Law School, Annie then obtained an advanced law degree in Taxation (LL.M.) from Loyola Law School, where again she was awarded the CALI award.  Since 2010, in addition to her law career, Annie has served as an adjunct professor of taxation at Whittier Law School.  She has also authored an article on Domestic Violence for the Orange County Lawyer Magazine.

In her spare time, Annie enjoys reading, playing tennis, and spending time with her family, friends and dog.
