Top-Tier Attorney

Vanessa Albaum is a world-class attorney. I met her through a professional medium where she stood out for her career dedication, expertise, and experience within her field. After learning more about Vanessa and her accomplishments it became apparent that she is a top-tier Attorney who is involved and... ingrained within her community. Vanessa is the type of person who does things right the first time, and takes the necessary precautions to guarantee such is the case. Milestones aside – Vanessa serves her clients with a servant’s heart. She truly cares about the well-being of others and demonstrates this value through not only her words, but most importantly her actions and the relationships that she holds with others. After a series of unfortunate events, I experienced her demeanor firsthand when I found myself in need of her advice and leadership. During our initial consultation and throughout her time representing me her selflessness was unexpected, and her ability to execute was impeccable. As a client of hers, I can attest that Vanessa takes care of business. Anyone who knows me will admit that I do not hand out praise often or undeserved. Vanessa has truly impressed me for the qualities she possesses not just as a professional, but as a person. Thank you, Vanessa.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I first met Ms Vanessa Albaum through a mutual friend after I had gotten myself in some legal trouble. Not sure at what I would be facing, Ms Vanessa looked at my charges and took on my case. She was very professional from the time we met; most of all she stayed in contact and kept me informed with h...ow my case was going from beginning to end. While working on my case, Ms Vanessa showed me she is very dedicated and knowledgeable in her field. I was highly satisfied with the services she provided and highly recommend her to anyone needing a "Professional" lawyer or attorney.
