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.

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.

Super Easy to Talk To

Attorney Nenni was very prompt in getting back to me when I left a message wanting a consultation. I needed help with regards to my son's Under Age Drinking Citation. She spent a lot of time thoroughly explaining options, and I never felt rushed as I asked questions. She also spent time talking to my... son, asking him questions to help assess the situation. Further, she took the time to follow up with me and outline her recommendations. Attorney Nenni really helped us during a highly stressful situation. She was very understanding and personable. I definitely recommend her, and will absolutely contact her again if needed.

Above and Beyond

I met with Vanessa and right away knew that she would have the very best interest of my child at heart. From day 1, she was upfront and honest with me. It didn't long in our initial meeting for me to hire her. She gave me her personal cell number and told me to call anytime I needed to. Surprisingly ...when I did call her, she always took my calls, or called me back within a reasonable amount of time. When she found out the amount of time that would have to be spent on my sons case getting it decertified to juvenile court, she advised me that a public defender would work best for me. She could've easily milked me for everything, but instead advised me that a PD give my son great treatment and do everything for free. Even after I went with the PD office, she continued to take my calls and answer any questions I had. If you are needing a fair HONEST attorney, she is the one!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
