Compassion and Dedicated

Anessa has helped my daughter with child custody issues. Once as a retained attorney 5 years ago and again as a consultant with another round of the same case that is currently in progress. With Anessa's help 5 years ago my daughter prevailed and was able to retain custody of her son. When it all ...stated up again, Anessa was the first call to make and she jumped right in, remembering the previous case as if it was just yesterday. Her assistance has been invaluable and I don't believe you could find a more determined, dedicated and compassionate attorney anywhere.

Very supportive and advocated for me

Anessa spent a lot of time with me and helped me tremendously with my case. I was dealing with multiple problems with unemployment, essentially an uphill battle that I'd been dealing with on my own for many months. When she stepped in to help with my case, I finally felt like I had someone on my side... and I no longer felt alone (navigating a confusing system). She listened and spent a large amount of time with me, going over my case and preparing me for my upcoming hearing. In addition, she really cares about her clients and it shows.

Outstanding Attorney!

Anessa is a wonderful attorney who won an unemployment benefits claim for me! I highly recommend her. She is a very detailed and thorough attorney who cares about her clients. I work in the legal field so I know how attorneys are and she is one of the best!

Family Law Divorce

Anessa has been nothing but compassionate, professional, supportive, educational, and encouraging throughout the entire time she was giving me counsel during the beginning portion of my very complicated divorce. Although she is not a family law attorney, she was incredibly motivated in making sure th...at my case was done right before handing it over to a family lawyer. I could not have even fathomed getting through these last few months without her guidance and knowledge in custody disputes. She is not only passionate about her work, but she is also heartfelt towards her clients.

Amazing support all the way!

Anessa has been an amazing partner over a process that is not meant to be easy. She has been patient to explain, adjust, review, and sometimes wait until we were ready to move on. She has be supportive and respectful of our preferences, pace and privacy. Always clear and detailed and never overwhelmi...ng. From minute one to the closing of the case. I highly recommend Anessa!
