This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Prompt, available and effective! Great results!

I contacted Anne Marie about my legal matter, and she was able to handle it with a phone call. It would have taken me a lot of time, energy and money to resolve what she resolved in a very short period of time. She has great skills, knows the legal community and the justice system, and is really ea...sy to work with. I highly recommend her for your legal needs!

Best expertise and advocacy

I chose Ms. Gennusa to represent me in the dissolution of my 20-year marriage. It was a very complex case with multiple challenges. Thanks to the expertise of Ms. Gennusa and her highly knowledgeable and professional staff, we were able to navigate all the obstacles and achieve a very satisfactory se...ttlement. She is straightforward and stalwart in her dedication to her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking expert guidance and a true advocate. She’s the best!

Professional and Knowledgeable!

Anne Marie Gennusa helped guide me from start to finish with my case. She was very responsive and kind. She KNOWS the law inside and out and she knows how best to handle any situation you may be in. She is assertive, strong, and compassionate. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Perfect blend of tough and compassion

I originally contacted the office via email with questions regarding grandparents rights after having contacted other recommended offices that would not take my case. Mrs. Gennusa called me almost immediately. We discussed my questions and concerns for my grandson and she felt I had a case. As I w...as in the process of working with her, another legal matter came up and she took on a second, unrelated case. Her and her office were very thorough in dealing with both cases. Her knowledge of the law and toughness were able to get me what I deserved. Her compassion when dealing with me and what I was going through was a blessing. I highly recommend Anne Marie Genussa and her whole team.

Compassionate & Strong

Ann Marie was the perfect blend of toughness and compassion. That is exactly what I needed to get me through a very difficult time. Her knowledge and experience combined with her energy level makes her a perfect fit if you want someone who gets things done! 5 Stars all the way and Vickie and Shannon ...are the best also.

"We litigated a termination of parental rights case with Anne Marie. Since I came on-board the case, working with Anne Marie has been a pleasure. I sincerely wish most attorney's had her demeanor. She is fierce during trial and works well with opposing counsel to try and make the presentation to the judge seamless. I look forward to our next case together."

"I've known Anne Marie since approximately 2003. She has always looked out for her client's best interest but is willing to work with the opposing counsel to come to a resolution if possible. She's one of the few attorneys in town that I can approach if I have a scenario that I want a second opinion on."
