Good Lawyer

Earlier this spring, I utilized Ms. Anukem's office. I was surprised by the outcome, in my favor, regarding the new child support. I would definitely use again. She thinks about her clients from their money perspective.

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.

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.

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.

Ms. Anukem is Brillant

There is a great deal I could write in describing the absolute genius of Jennifer Anukem and her firm. The bottom-line which I cannot over emphasize is Ms. Anukem is absolutely transparent and a complete legal master. From the first conversation I had with Ms. Anukem through a painstaking trial, Ms.... Anukem has been consistent in presenting me with all possible outcomes. Her recommendations are based on wisdom and foresight. Ms. Anukem was not hasty to take my case before a Judge, not because I had a weak case, but because she genuinely desires the best results without unnecessary court actions. In fact, she provided me with very wise advice to reach my desired outcome when I originally contacted her in 2015. Her intelligent advice was focused on reaching my goal without the depressing challenge of going to court and facing the economic burden that comes with it. Sadly, that wise approach was not successful due to the complexity of my situation. I found myself being pulled before a Judge. However, I had and continue to have full trust in Jennifer Anukem. She is patient, compassionate, firm in her counsel and above all else a true genius of the law. The nature of my case is extremely personal and has had multiple layers of complexity. Despite the ups-and-downs, Ms. Anukem has provided an unbreakable defense which in-turn has given me peace-of-mind and resulted in victory in the courtroom. If you are faced with a serious matter and need the counsel of a dedicated professional, even for simple consultation services, I highly recommend Jennifer Anukem, she is one-of-a-kind!
