She is unreliable after first payed consulting
I never got free consulting. She asked me to pay the whole lawyer fee before the prenup review and consulting. The first consulting is fare, although she gave comments by hand-writing, so it took me extra time to read it and edit by myself. Since then she is not easy to get, she do not response to my...
I apologize for our role in your misunderstanding of the scope of the retainer. Perhaps the language barrier played a role in you not understanding the terms of representation. You paid a flat fee for the review of your prenuptial agreement. The prenuptial agreement was reviewed and you were provided with a consultation, by telephone, where the provisions of the prenuptial agreement were explained to you. Thereafter you asked that the postnuptial be revised and that the attorney contact opposing counsel to renegotiate the prenuptial agreement. The attorney and staff advised that your retainer did not include said additional services. As a good faith gesture, the attorney sent you her notes memorializing the comments discussed during your 1 hour consultation call. Again, we apologize for the misunderstanding and encourage you to review the scope of your retainer as outlined in the email sent to you on November 28, 2018. On November 28, 2018 you asked: Thanks for the quick response, does the $750 include everything? On November 28, 2018 I responded and said: The $750 includes everything -- the review and consultation. We were not retained to negotiate the agreement and redraft same. Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding, but when you were asked to pay for the additional services you were seeking, you expressed that you did not wish to do so.

Unprofessional
This firm took my case and did minimal work to then quit the case in the middle of litigation placing the outcome of my case at risk. J. Anukem & Associates then placed a judgment on the case they quit and took me to court for the balance of legal fees before the case was resolved. I believe these ac...
Thanks for expressing your concern. Unfortunately, in your case, the retainer agreement signed stated specific payment terms which were not complied with. Your complaint filed with the Maryland State Bar was dismissed and thereafter, we asked that you pay the outstanding balance owed on your case. When you failed to do so, we were left with no choice but to pursue this matter in court where we were awarded a judgement for the entire outstanding balance of your legal fees. It is important that clients keep their word and comply with the retainer agreement signed at the beginning of representation because the attorneys at our firm always strive to meet the highest standards to provide excellent legal representation. That is the reason we have received several awards and accolades from the National Association of Family Law Attorneys, SuperLawyers and other reputable organizations. We are happy to provide representation to clients who we can trust to comply with the terms of their retainer agreement because our clients can certainly trust us to provide excellent legal representation once we accept their case.

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...
