Very Strategic Attorney

I had 2 previous lawyers who did not keep me in the loop or let me know what was going on in my case. Most importantly, they did not let me have input on the direction of my case. My Anukem and her firm kept me up to speed on the case and let me know that I was in the drivers seat. We put our heads t...ogether and made some good decisions that helped me end up with custody of my two boys. I am so glad I hired her firm.

Physician

I hired Jennifer Anukem for my custody case in DC, and she was very professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the law. She warned me about things that would happen in my case, and she was very accurate in her predictions. I found her to be very thorough and to the point. I also liked her sta...ff and their willingness to help. This was a really stressful situation, and I was glad to know I was in good hands.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
