Posted by Rosemarie | September 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Outstanding!!

I hired Ann Marie in May, 2016 to handle a Child Support case for me. My son's father was looking to reduce his child support and it was quite a stressful time for me. Ann Marie was very patient and thorough in explaining the process and my options. She definitely knows her stuff! The actual he...aring went very smoothly and Ann Marie stood up for me and did a great job of negotiating with my son's attorney! Thankfully she did all of the talking and I didn't have to say much! My son's father did not get much of a child support reduction and I am grateful for that! It is because of Ann Marie that things turned out as well as they did for me!! Ann Marie is an amazing attorney and very knowledgeable and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Ann Marie!

Posted by Yvonne | June 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Most Excellent Family/Divorce lawyer

My husband after being together for 34 years files for divorce. We actually only were married from Jan 25, 2013 till June 15, 2016. I had a lot stacked against me, with my name not being on our house or anything else. I had another lawyer tell me he felt he could not help me and did not want to jus...t take my money and referred me to Anne Marie. She went out of her way to get the best out of this divorce for me that she could. I never expected to get the amount of money I did ( and it was substantial) , among other things. The courts were only interested in the years we were married not the entire 34 yrs. I am immensely grateful to her and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Anne Marie and to her paralegal Shannon who was patient and kind with me when I did not understand things. I cannot thank Anne Marie enough.

Excellent Representation

Divorce is never basic or easy and can be intimidating when you are going through it. Anne Marie reassured and encouraged me every step of the way. Her knowledge, ability and experience helped me get through this difficult and trying time. She had my back and I was glad she did.

The best of the best. A lawyer's lawyer.

Ms. Gennusa has represented me along with my daughter and several friends. Her knowledge of the law is amazing. Her guidance and direction is spot on. Had she not handled these cases, the outcomes would have been drastically different, I'm sure. She has a way of making you feel confident in yours...elf and your case and yet doesn't frill it up with a lot of false hopes. She "tells it like it is". Her "win" record is impressive.

Helpful, Efficient,

Anne Marie is the first person I call when I need legal advice. She has helped our family in several instances, varying from child support issues, to libel/slander and a motor vehicle case. There is no price to put on sound legal advice, especially when the outcome potentially weighs heavily financ...ially on your family. In each case, she gave sound advice, and then gave updates as they were available to keep us informed. She is aggressive when you need it, makes a plan, and then delivers. I definitely recommend her.

"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."
