Dedicated, Honest and Professional Attorney

We hired Vanessa for our son's court case. Throughout the entire experience, she always kept us informed. She was always responsive to our questions in a timely manner. Vanessa never let up in the pursuit of obtaining the best outcome that was possible. I always felt that she always had our son's bes...t interest in mind. She cared and it is evident in the excellent outcome. I would highly recommend her services.

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!!!!

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.

Awesome

Very knowledgeable and straight shooter would highly recommend. She always kept me informed every inch away and did the best she could to handle my case and we were very pleased with the outcome

Thorough, capable, and compassionate

We hired Vanessa to support a case with my son who is a college student in Pennsylvania. As we are from the west coast, it was important to have an attorney who was respectful to communicate with all of us and Vanessa was excellent with this. The case had unexpected complexities, and we were extrem...ely satisfied with Vanessa's ability to negotiate with the many people involved with his case and ultimately generate the best outcome. Vanessa took the time to talk to us about the process and helped us feel prepared throughout. We highly recommend her services.
