Excellent results!

I am so glad that I hired Ms. Price. Her team was very responsive and answered my million questions with patience. She was able to stand up for my needs when I was being too nice. My final divorce decree was everything that I had hoped for and more and I have her to thank for advising me so well. ...She made a scary experience much easier.

REASSURING, ARTICULATE, KNOWLEDGEABLE, EFFECTIVE

Vanessa has handled a couple of legal matters for me over the years and has ALWAYS achieved the outcome I was looking for. When you are in financial distress and dealing with your child's father who determines the way he feels about you, is how he financially supports your child, it is difficult to ...think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Vanessa explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that were needed to be done. She was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable and effective. Vanessa made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. I can't thank her enough for how helpful her and Kassidy were. I will continue to use Vanessa. HIGHLY recommend.

Efficient and Fair

I hired Vanessa to represent me as I was moving to another state for my job. From consult, she explained the law to me and how it applied to my situation. After hiring her, she was efficient in filing the proper paper work. After moving, she continued to represent me and work with my ex husband's att...orney to work on a fair outcome for visitation keeping in mind my concerns and wishes. Unfortunately, I've worked with a handful of attorneys in DeSoto County as a child when my parents divorced and through my own divorce custody battles. I can honestly say Vanessa is the best I've worked with. She's honest, direct and for me was able to resolve this quickly as I did not want a long battle. She was available when I needed to speak to her, even responding or calling after hours if need be. I also feel she was efficient and didn't drag the case on to run up billable hours. I would highly recommend her. I was able to move my child to another state, get back child support that was owed, and find a visitation schedule that I'm happy with regarding travel. Her staff are also nice, responsive and follow through on your communications. I don't think you'll find a better attorney in DeSoto County.

exceptional service

I was so nervous about court and the whole custody process. Vanessa and Kassidy were amazing thoughout the entire process. They helped calm my nerves and reassure me. They answered every question I had. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. I was able to do a lot of correspondence via tele...phone and email which was ideal for me so that I only had to miss work for court. I felt like a person and not just “a docket number” to Vanessa and her team. Vanessa always remembered little details about my case. I believe she honestly cared about the outcome of my case and the safety of my child. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would recommend Vanessa every single time.
