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...tions were retaliatory for me reporting their activities to the Maryland Bar Association. As such I would not be willing to recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal counsel.

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.

Client

I believe her ability to communicate with clients and the jury stems from the fact that she thinks like a person sitting in the jury box or in the judges seat...on a level that is so understandable, so straightforward and so credible. Whenever I have consultation with her on a case I know the case wi...ll be handled well and I will receive the best representation possible.

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.

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.
