Best experience ever!

Vanessa held our hands, answered every question we had and was very well respected in court. If she was not been with us in court we would definitely not have left with a positive outcome. I highly recommend hiring Vanessa!!!!

LONG OVERDUE

First of all I want to apologize to Attorney Nenni for not writing this review sooner. It was totally ungrateful of me to wait this long to post this review and I apologize. I first contacted Attorney Nenni for a consultation back in early July because my son got himself into serious legal trouble. ... I knew right from the start that Attorney Nenni was special because when I called her office for a consultation she personally answered the phone. In my past and present experience with attorneys that just doesn’t happen. She immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. My son was facing charges in Lehigh County that could have affected his probation in Northampton County which could have resulted in state prison time. After explaining the situation to Attorney Nenni she regretfully advised me to hire a Lehigh County Attorney to take care of the Lehigh County charges and that depending on how those charges worked out she would represent him at his parole hearing in Northampton County. She immediately referred me to a couple of Lehigh County Attorneys. After calling the Attorneys the she referred me to I had to call her again because of scheduling conflicts she referred me to yet another who I hired. After the Lehigh County Charges were resolved I again called Attorney Nenni and asked if she would represent my son at his probation violation hearing. Even on only a few days notice she agreed to represent him. Believe this or not but it is true that up until this point Attorney Nenni had not charged me one cent for her referrals or her advice I met with her that afternoon to discuss the case and while we were at one point I asked her a question about the case and she started her answer with “If it was my son” and I hired her right then and there. Attorney Nenni is very caring and compassionate, passionate, organized, assertive did I say caring? I believe her greatest attribute is in the courtroom. She was totally amazing. She more or less took command of the courtroom. She brought to the judges attention some evidence that I acquired and the result of the hearing for my son was very favorable. I felt like I owed her more then I payed her. all the phone calls she took from me and advice she gave me she even took a call from me while she was leaving for vacation and after the hearing I asked her if I owed her anything and her answer was “No but can you write me a review” Sorry it’s so long overdue.

Extremely helpful during very stressful time

Vanessa helped me and my husband navigate a legal issue with our 13 year old daughter. We were completely overwhelmed with how to move forward. I outreached her thinking she would schedule us for a sit-down meeting and charge us for the information she would provide us, but she took the time to exp...lain all of our options during that first phone call. She made the entire process appear much more manageable. She did not pressure us at all to move forward with her, but we obviously wanted to after speaking with her. I would highly recommend outreaching Vanessa if you have any issues concerning adolescent legal issues.

Excellent attention with care

Vanessa went above and beyond to help our family during a difficult time. She met with us without an appointment, gave us excellent advice, was quick to respond (even on, I’m sure her personal time) and solved our problem with zero hitches. Vanessa treated us with respect and quelled our anxiety with... such a personal and calm touch. I would highly recommend Vanessa over and over again.

READ ME!

Look, I’m not one to write reviews on the internet. Who has time for that. However, Vanessa deserves everything I’m about to say and more. Vanessa helped me with what become a complicated and ridiculous mess of what should have been a straight forward case. To be clear, she did not create the mess. W...ithout giving specifics about my case (because that not what you want to put on the internet), she guided me through the mess, smoothly and quick as can be, chopped it down to size, cut through all and anything in her way, and got me with the best possible outcome in the end. I was absolutely blown away by her abilities and competency overall. Thank you again Vanessa! Talk is talk, let me give specifics for why Vanessa is not only the best lawyer I have ever dealt with or heard of, but also why she is one of the most competent people I have ever met. All of these qualities reflected in my time with her: 1. She is assertive, quick, well spoken, prepared, and strategic. 2. She has absolutely no problem standing up to anyone, regardless of status, authority, or her history or relationship with that person 3. She knows the game and how to play it. She knows whats to be expected, how to prepare, who to talk to, what needs to be done, how to counter, and how to recover if need be to get the best possible outcome 4. She has a wide network. Months out from our hearing, she already had talked to every relevant police officer, judge, ADA, you name it. As soon as we walked into the court, she is recognized by name and with respect, trading conversations with everyone in the court room, even other lawyers or officers who have nothing to do with our case, as if they grew up together. 5. She does NOT drag her feet. She tells you ahead of time exactly how much time your situation will take and how much it will cost overall. Spoiler alert: she does NOT charge enough at all. All of our meetings, we are in and out as fast as possible. She even knows how to expedite the process to skip the line and cut to the chase. 6. Best of all, you get a personal relationship with her, not only a professional one. She has expectations of you, she will hold you accountable. She will be disappointed with you if you fail yourself or her. She is genuinely happy for you when there is successful moments or outcomes. She shares this success with you. 7. She is obviously passionate about what she does and that reflects in her investment in you as a person and client 8. Her office is local! If you live anywhere close to Bethlehem, you could literally have walked by it without even knowing. 9. She is great at communication, she follows up on emails very quickly and takes your calls. She also expects the same back. I had more things to say, but I cannot keep track of all of it. You get the idea. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with any of my legal troubles if I can help it ever again. If you’re skeptical of this review, just give her a call, and I bet you’ll be writing her next great review right below mine.
