Vanessa Betryna Gnekow

I highly recommend Vanessa Gnekow to anyone needing an attorney, as she and her team are efficient, helpful and truly great at what they do. I am forever grateful to Vanessa Gnekow and her team (especially Patricia and Shannon) for everything they did for my daughter and I. Two years ago because m...y daughter went to visit my ex in another state and he did not return her to me on the agreed upon date that we had discussed. I was in a state of panic in trying to figure out how to get my daughter back. I initially hired another attorney that did nothing for 4 weeks, so I sought out another attorney, and that's when I found Vanessa Gnekow. Upon retaining Vanessa Gnekow, she had my daughter back to me within a week because of the ex-parte that she filed. After getting my daughter back my ex then filed for a move-away, so Vanessa Gnekow represented me for two long years. My case was extremely complex, as we have been going to court since my daughter was 6 months old, but she came prepared to win at each hearing. Her presence in the courtroom is truly unmatched. Vanessa Gnekow and her team dealt with my case in such a professional manner and fought for me extremely hard. Vanessa Gnekow is very upfront in regards to her advice and strategy for your case, and she ALWAYS has best interest at heart. She went above and beyond for me as her client and WON my case! You will not be disappointed in the work, time and effort she will put into helping you get the justice you deserve.

Long story as short as possible, I had a previous attorney that drafted an agreement that me and my now ex wife had came up with, however this attorney messed up and didn’t do his do diligence. When my ex wife got evil and wanted out of the contract she challenged the contract and got herself an atto...rney who is as sheisty as she is. My ex wife and her attorney made up multiple lies and accusations against me. Vanessa came in at the last minute and stepped up to the plate like a boss and handled it. She is on top of her game and will take care of you, she was upfront and honest with possible outcomes, but she was also dedicated and determined. Vanessa is a winner, save yourself time, energy and money. I tried to go the cheap route and get my matter settled with just any attorney and unfortunately he was not able to finish the job. I wish I would’ve went with Vanessa in the first place. She brought my case to a victory. I found out you get what you pay for, and Vanessa and her team are worth every penny. Vanessa is a fighter and will fight for you. She is aggressive and not intimidated by any attorney. Vanessa is also down to earth and compassionate, she heard me out and understood what I was asking for. Her and all her staff were on top of everything. I want to say thank you so much to Vanessa and her staff, I am truly grateful and I thank God for all the hard work and dedication all of you have put into my case, May God bless all of you.

When Vanessa started she had passion and really wanted to help you and make things right for the sake of the kids. Like judges, mediators, minor counsel they forget they see this everyday and don’t realize that they get start going through the motions. Vanessa has thrown several different retainer fe...es at me that I might add were $3,000 then it was $5,000 and the last time she said it would be $7,000 as a retainer. Mind you each time was at a different point of the battle and each time less and less work was needed. She just wants your money and it will never be enough. Do not ever expect to get anything back because in reality that money is gone on day 1. I was charged for her paralegals and /secretary's phone calls and emails that asked me the same questions. I was being charged because they didn’t write it down . Mind you it was a 1min phone call and I was charged for 30min. I was charged when I’d call and she’s go off on rants about other topics that I didn’t care to hear. 10min calls your charged an hrs time. It’s just sad when money becomes the prime motivation and the children/kids mental well being and security are out 2nd. Vanessa you would be the best if you just thought about anyone’s kids being yours. If you went back to the beginning you wouldn’t be stopped.

I contacted Vanessa’s office last minute, in a time of need for a custody case. A situation where emotions were high, and I was stressed out. Her office was able to set me up with a consultation in a timely fashion, were very sympathetic, very professional, and handled my situation with such care. Th...eir patience with me was also very much appreciated as I had a million questions and was very emotional. Her staff always kept me updated on what was going on via email, telephone, and also responded to emails and telephone calls in a timely fashion. I was always in the loop, and knew what to expect in each step of my case. She fought for my daughter and I, and never backed down. She fought for the best interest of my child, and for that I am forever thankful. The confidence Vanessa has, her knowledge of the law, her professionalism, makes her fierce af!!!! Thank you so much Vanessa and staff for your services!
