Compassionate, Energetic Family Attorney

My attorney Jennifer Anukem represented me in September 2018 for my divorce. She is very well versed in the law and did an excellent job at thoroughly explaining to me my rights. Ms. Anukem did a great job advocating for me and ensured that I received not only what I expected, but more than what I kn...ew I was entitled too. She even gave me business tips on restructuring my company post divorce. My attorney and her team was prompt at responding to me whenever I had questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her for any legal matters as I am confident that she will find a solution.

Jen is a phenomenal attorney!

Jen and the staff of her law firm are amazing. They have represented me in numerous matters from consumer protection issues to family law matters. And the outcomes for all of them have been in my favor! I refer everyone I know to them. Jen, herself, is a consummate professional and knowledgeable in a...ll areas of her practice.

Do not hire this attorney

Looked at the reviews on Avvo. I don't know where or how she got five stars. Wanted to give 0 but that was not an option. She is personable and pleasant. However, she is ineffective, tells you what you want to hear. Charges a lot of money and I do mean a lot for not much work. Nothing gets done... unless you push it and strategy changes in mid stream. She is hard to reach by phone and does not call back within a reasonable amount of time and you may have to make several calls to reach her. Of course, the standard reply is she is in court.. Her preparation for court was inadequate. She was not prepared for cross examination. The same information was given to her over and over again and iher reaction was like she was hearing it for the first time. Save yourself time, money and aggravation and get another attorney. You will be glad you did. Trust me on this.

We are surprised to have received a review like this as we go the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction with each case. Ms. Anukem was rated one of the top 10 family law attorneys in the state of Maryland by the national family lawyers association, she was nominated as a rising star and she has hundreds of clients who are extremely satisfied with her services. She studied at George Washington Law (one of the top 20 law schools in the country) and she chose to concentrate on family law because it gives her the opportunity to truly help people. We would like to resolve any concerns you may have. Please contact our office as soon as practicable to discuss your case and next steps which can be taken to ensure your satisfaction. Your review is so different from the sentiments of other clients that we want to understand where they are coming from and how we can resolve your concerns. We can be reached at 301-500-0462 or [email protected]. We hope to hear from you soon.

Awesome Legate

Attorney Jennifer Anukem made a name in the Nigerian community when she defended a titled Chief who was to be buried here in the USA against traditional norms and against his will. The family of the late titled Chief hired Ms Anukem who showed mastery of Nigerian/USA family law to win their case. She... is passionate, involved, and experienced. She has been recommended frequently. Chief Ugo Okehie.

  • 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.
