Amazing lawyer!

Vanessa Nenni is a competent, skilled and compassionate lawyer who treats her clients with dignity and respect. She has helped our family through some challenging times and was clearly knowledgeable about the law in each situation. She offered comprehensive explanations for our options and made very ...appropriate recommendations. We never felt rushed during our appointments with her and we trusted her judgment. We were not disappointed. I would highly recommend Attorney Nenni for anyone seeking a great criminal or domestic lawyer.

Professional and Extremely Knowledgeable

Vanessa Nenni helped us with our son who is a sophomore at Lehigh and got himself in a bit of trouble-- he was arrested for public drunkenness and underage drinking . We are located in Massachusetts so we felt a little our of our comfort zone with the local laws. She was very responsive and immedia...tely called us back and helped us navigate the complicated process to apply for the ARD program. We couldn't have done this without her! Sincerely, Grateful Parents!

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.

The BEST representation for our Freshman at Lehigh

I found Vanessa Nenni’s add online and received a call back right away. She immediately took charge and not only reassured me, she took away the “shame” a parent would feel from their child making a bad decision on one Saturday night of college. Vanessa was warm, kind and undeniably capable. She was ...tough and experienced. With her direction, perseverance and strategy, our son received the best possible outcome. We are forever grateful to Vanessa. To Lehigh parents needing help for their child, we give Vanessa the highest possible recommendation and would ONLY seek her representation.
