I endorse this lawyer. Vanessa is one of my favorite colleagues. She is not only an excellent attorney, experienced, and highly skilled, she is also personable and kind. I refer criminal defense and family law matters to her without hesitation and have received excellent feedback about the results she has obtained.

I highly recommend Ms. Jordan. Vanessa is a tireless fighter for her clients. I have had the opportunity to see her in court on numerous occasions and it is always a pleasure to see her in her element. Whether it is taking a case a trial and forcing the government to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, or leveraging bad facts into a favorable plea for her client, Ms. Jordan obtains fantastic results for her clients. She is a phenomenal trial attorney, and one who I enjoy observing and picking up practice pointers from when she's in court. Above and beyond everything I have just mentioned, the most impressive thing about Vanessa is her modesty, and kindness. She's a genuinely good person, and incredibly approachable. I highly recommend her, and think very highly of her legal ability.
