Stupendously good attorney.

Vanessa is an insanely brilliant attorney and a genuine tour de force in the legal world. I worked for her for a while and even though she wasn't a big fan of me - i have a ton of respect for her. Yes she is very busy - and you have to be a mind reader with her sometimes - but if you want an excelle...nt attorney at her firm - she is the one you need. The negative review left is utterly unfair and is really typical of an angry litigant. Neither Vaness nor Thomas|Lucas deserve a 1 star review over a retention that never even happened.

No Call Back

I called her office and was told that she was on the phone. I left my phone number and requested a call back stating that I was a prospective client. I waited more than 24 hours and never received a call back. The matter was urgent. I decided to call a different lawyer. In my opinion, if you can't co...unt on her to return a prospective client's phone call, she will likely be less inclined to return your call once she has your retainer in hand.

I sincerely apologize to whoever this is. I cannot recall any potential new clients that I have not responded to. I make a point to return all of my messages within 24 hours unless I am in a hearing or other matter that lasts a full day. I assure you that no message is left without a response, potential client or otherwise. I understand that since your matter was urgent you went to another attorney, sometimes that is necessary if you demand an immediate response. I wish you the best of luck with your matter in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
