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.

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.

Amicable Divorce

My ex and I hired Vanessa to facilitate our divorce. We worked through our split amicably and Vanessa helped us understand the legal aspects of the divorce. While she technically represented me, and advised me specifically, she was supportive of our requests to meet with her together to work throug...h the legalities. I have since referred her to a friend for his divorce and again, she's been wonderful with her advice. She was always responsive to my requests for information and kept the expenses within the quoted retainer, which I certainly appreciated. Divorces are obviously a difficult process, but she made it as easy as possible, with little tension and stress. I'd hire her again in a second for any other legal matters I have. Thanks Vanessa.

Great attorney

Vanessa was so sympathetic in a time of need. She offered expert advice and actually did not even charge me. I would totally use her as an attorney if I need.

Vanessa is fantastic and caring. She took care of my divorce, setting up wills and assisted me with unemployment issue. The outcome for each brought me much relief and satisfaction. I highly recommend her for any legal issues you may have.
