Vanessa Betryna Gnekow

I can not say enough wonderful things about Attorney Gnekow and her team ( Shannon, Julie, Daisy, Jennifer, and Nicole) . I highly recommend them for anyone needing an attorney. They were clear and concise in their explanations, knowledgeable is all aspects of the case, were honest and straight forw...ard with the recommendations, gave sound legal advice and guidance throughout the process and I was treated with respect and empathy. They knew that my only concern was my daughters wellbeing and they did everything they could to make sure her thoughts and wishes were heard. They gave us both a voice. I can not thank them enough.

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.

I was referred to Ms Gnekow by a good friend. Previously I had spent about 15k with a different big name law firm that netted zero results. I was going to just represent myself and give it my best shot. The day before my hearing my friend told me I needed to hire Ms Gnekow. I was skeptical about wast...ing my money on another lawyer, but I’m glad I called her. Ms Gnekow was very friendly and knowledgeable over the phone. I regained some faith in finding a Lawyer that actually heard me and wanted to help.  I hired Ms Gnekow immediately after that phone call and I have been grateful ever since. Ms Gnekow is very professional and direct. She will make sure you stay in line and keep you aware of what’s in your best interests. When it comes to courtroom performances she is very aggressive and passionate. During my hearings Ms Gnekow acted as if my children were her own. I could hear and sense the passion in her voice. I thank god I did not try to do this myself. There would have been zero chance that I would be able to relay my thoughts as intelligently and as aggressively as she did. My entire perspective of lawyers and the family law industry has changed thanks to Ms Gnekow and her entire team. Nobody wants to have to fight over their kids but if you have to, you should be prepared with the best representation you can find. I can’t begin to recommend Ms Gnekow and her team enough. I’m forever grateful for their efforts and services and will continue to use them for any further family matters.

"Hire Vanessa if you are ready to succeed!" As a dad who has constantly always fought for my daughter, I was drained from the court hearings and constantly dealing with the erratic behavior of my daughter's mother. When I came across Vanessa on Avvo I believed she could help from her reviews bu...t I truly didn't know her brilliance and the new level that she and her team would elevate my position too.  Vanessa and her team made sure that my voice was heard artfully, in depth and effectively. Vanessa was my advocate no matter what position I was taking on an issue but she made sure to be honest and real with me on areas that needed to be addressed. The guidance that Vanessa provided for me and my wife during this custody process with my daughter's mother was outstanding. And during this unique time of COVID 19, Vanessa was accessible and if I could not reach her immediately then co-counsel, Heather, would reach out to me or my wife. In addition, all of the paralegals, especially Devin and Julie were so quick on their feet with getting back to us with a game plan or information that Vanessa needed to relay to us. It was never a time where my wife and I felt lost in the process because they were so efficient with emails, calls and communication in general.  I highly recommend retaining Vanessa before your opposing party does because she is that good! Everyday my wife and I talk about how happy we are that we found her on Avvo. Vanessa actually did what I wanted her to do and even better than I could have even thought of.  We believe God placed her in our path because she was aggressive, intelligent, skilled and polite at the same time. Vanessa is a big reason that I won our case and my daughter will have a true chance at stability and a healthier childhood. Thank you so much Vanessa! I truly cannot express how grateful my wife and I are to you as well as your team. I will definitely be hiring Vanessa again for any family matters or any type of law that she specializes in.  - Mac and Taylor

Take knowledge, skill, education, professionalism, tact, confidence, compassion, and a driving passion to conquer extreme injustice with no fear of other parties, county or city entities; Align this with a boldness to walk in truth, and you have a law firm who took a team approach to shatter barriers... for my children and myself. We were tragically parted due to lurid maladaptive behavior at the hands of my children’s father. Dolefully, he was afforded the concealing of such behavior by higher authorities via the use of religious, racial and financial discrimination against me and my children. If you are the upright parent and you and your children are suffering unnecessarily or have encountered a system that works to push truth aside at the expense of your children’s lives, it’s time to give Vanessa and her team a call. Let them strategically position your case to rotate toward justice. Me and my children continue to mend and thrive as unification is about us and truth continues to unfold. To state how I feel about what Vanessa and her team have done for my family is beyond amazing and merely indescribable. Thanks so much Vanessa and team! God’s unfailing love.
