Vanessa Samano is simply the best there is for child custody cases, specifically high conflict. I would highly recommend Vanessa for any type of divorce or family law case, but specifically if you have a need for representation for Juvenile Court. Vanessa has the relationships with the courts, judg...es, and other attorneys across East Tennessee. She is highly respected and knows the law, but mostly she cares about the families she represents. I could not have asked for someone who believed in me and my case more. She will be honest, even when it's not what you want to hear. She will encourage you to always do the right thing and to not just check boxes but legitimately follow through. Vanessa helped me navigate a complex divorce followed by a difficult custody case in which I obtained primary custody. As a single Dad, this was not easy even though the facts were in my favor. My advice, without reservation, is to not just hire Vanessa Samano, but to listen to her and do what she says. If you are not willing to be honest or take responsibility, Vanessa is not for you. However, if you want someone to help you navigate a complex system in an honest but tough and caring way that puts the best interest of children first, then Vanessa is right for you. She will continue to be my choice for representation in all future custody matters, and has already been recommended to several friends and family members.

Vanessa Samano and her legal team are the absolute best there is in Knoxville TN. She went above and beyond for our child support/ custody case. Everyone in her office is very kind and make you feel like you are the only client. Not only does she stay two steps ahead of everything on your case she is... also very respected by the judges and she truly cares. Would recommend everytime!!!

Mrs. Vanessa was amazing she helped me fight hard for 50/50 custody rights to my babies and my case was not easy but she was very firm and professional the whole way through but was also very supportive when I was heartbroken over the situation. Family court will always be hard but with Mrs. Vanessa ...you will make it through!
