Best in Lawyer and Staff in the DMV. This firm changed my life and my family's life.

My situation was handled with the up most respect and honor by this firm. They handled my case with class. The whole staff has excellent communication. Even down to communicating with the defendant in my case, class was always used. Both parties are actually happy with the results of our case. The le...vel of service was amazing. The speed at wich they got things going, produced rapid results. If you want and need your legal situation to get better fast, then consult this firm. J. Anukem is incredible inside and outside of the court room. She works all day long. When she walks into the courtroom she has a game plan and then several backup game plans. I recommend this firm 100%.

Custody Case

I was referred to Ms. Anukem by happenstance. I was seeking a consult from an attorney credentialed by my legal insurance. While Ms. Anukem does not accept my legal insurance plan she provided a lengthy telephone consult regarding my custody case. She was empathetic to my plight and was knowledgeable... about the laws and statutes governing a myriad of issues including protective orders in the State of Maryland. Likewise, her firm is extremely professional. Her assistant followed up via email and telephone regarding the consult. I would refer Ms. Anukem to anyone seeking assistance in a domestic or family law matter. Unfortunately due to the complexity of my case I have consulted with several attorneys in the Prince George’s County Maryland area. She stands out due to her professionalism, deportment, and competence.

Client Experience

Ms. Anukem is a great attorney and is well versed in the law. She is extremely articulate and was able to explain complex law concepts in layman terms. She was able to look at the law and the details of my case and explain everything to me. We worked together to put together a case strategy based ...on my goals. I also had a great client experience. I was able to fax and email in my documents and communicate via email. Finally a law office that is operating in the 21st century! We were able to get started virtually and then continue in person. It seemed like she is always available. I highly recommend Ms. Anukem.

Super Lawyer-Jennifer Anukem

Attorney Jennifer Anukem is an extremely competent, capable, compassionate and caring Lawyer. The breath of her legal knowledge is outstanding. She is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that the very best legal representation is given to her clients. As a professional, she epitomizes the h...ighest standard of integrity. Her court room etiquette, legal communication skills and interpersonal communication prowess with clients is exemplary. Indeed, the selection of her as my attorney is an unregrettable decision.

Auto Accident

I was referred to call Patricia Shrein to assist me with my auto accident. Jennifer picked-up the phone to take my information. She was very thorough with taking detailed information and displayed genuinity of caring about my call. I later learned she was an attorney. She offered her assistance to he...lp me if I preffered not to wait for Patty. I took her offer. After explaining to her what had happed and so many attorneys I had sought for initial short consultations had provided, Jennifer stood out with the following 3 descriptions. 1) true intent to listen 2) true/substantial expertise 3) thorough/efficient, comforting, honest and professional advise 4) displayed passion, integrity and honesy. Imagine, this what I gathered from her from my short consult over the phone. Imagine what she could provide if you hired her! Jennifer was a former insurance defense attorney and focuses now on family law. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JENNIFER TO ANYONE IN NEED OF A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY.
