Brought my daughters back together

My wife and I recently married and were having difficulties with my ex allowing my 17 year old to come to the wedding and be a part of all of the festivities. We had so many plans for her to see family that she had not seen in quite a long time and most importantly to see her older sister that she h...ad not seen in many many years. Vanessa and her team made this happen for us despite numerous challenges that came up. They never gave up and genuinely cared and listened to our issues.

She’s the best!!

She’s an amazing lawyer, very patient, very kind! Very happy to have hired her for my custody case. I was not disappointed at all. If you are looking for a a family lawyer, she’s definitely at the top of my list of recommendations!

She knows what she's doing and she's good at it!

I have always turned to Vanessa when I have had legal troubles, this time I had asked Vanessa to assist me with custody proceedings. When I was feeling tore down, Vanessa's responsiveness, knowledge and authenticity during a complex divorce case kept me stable and successful. Vanessa and her staff ...were always engaged when I needed them to be, and they always made good value of my retainer by utilizing the right staff member for the right task. I highly recommend Vanessa.

Compassionate, listens, experienced, gets the job done.

When I first consulted w/ Vanessa, it was 2 months before filing, she listened, was compassionate, and advised me on what to do before even hiring her. She knew I was scared but she was calming and reassuring. Throughout our case, during stressful times, she makes me feel like she's got my back. T...hat is priceless.

Posted by Judy | December 17, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Really good work

Vanessa helped a friend with a DUI several years ago. He told me how she almost made the cop cry on the stand due to his complete lack of following protocol. The judge even scolded him after Vanessa was finished. The case was dismissed and to say he was ecstatic is an understatement. Based on thi...s, I contacted her a few months ago when I had a very intricate custody issue that involved multiple jurisdictions. She did some research and then helped me get the order worded the exact way I wanted it and worked the system flawlessly to make it happen. The next time I need anything I will definitely call her.
