Best attorney

Vanessa is a highly trusted professional who works hard for her clients and does it with care and concern for them and their families. Family court is a very emotional experience and Vanessa has represented me in family matters related to custody and support, and received the best possible outcome. ... She has helped counsel me along the way in making tough decisions. She is extremely professional, as is her paralegal Kassidy. I wouldn't work with anyone else.

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.

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.
