The first time I retained Vanessa was in 2011, 2 days after my nephew came to live with me. On his second day here while running an errand for me, he was stopped and arrested for some outstanding drug (Marijuana) charges and a variety of traffic issues. I thought he would surely lose his drivers lice...nse and go to jail but to the contrary and my surprise, Vanessa was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and get his charges reduced or dropped completely. In the end, my nephew paid a relatively small fine and received a few points on his license. For the amount of time and effort she put into my nephews cases, she could have charged us a lot more than she did. Her prices are reasonable and fair. I was so impressed with the professionalism and legal skill Vanessa displayed while handling my nephews issues that I called and asked for her help regarding several matters for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. Vanessa is always a professional, diligent, methodical and skilled attorney who has helped me and my family greatly. My mom passed away in June of 2017 and Vanessa has been there for anything we have needed. My calls are always returned promptly and she patiently answers my questions even though she probably answered the same question several times already. I'm sure I will need her services again at some point in my life and highly recommend Vanessa to anyone that needs an attorney.
