She's a grifter & a poacher…read morewho, in my case, carried improper discussions with my ex, created a stipulated agreement with him outside of my presence, lied so easily about my case being deferred by the judge & so much more corrupt behavior. Note that every attorney I contacted prior to calling her office couldn't take my case because their calendars were full. Christina's calendar was wide open. I believed I was lucky when in fact, this was a red flag. Christina will take anything to get a retainer in her hands whether she has time or not. This is the grift. If you loan her another attorney's work, she copies it for use but stamps her name on all of the paperwork. This is the poach - or plagiarizing in legalese. She did this with the work of HEIDI ROMEO & MICHAEL YOUNG. She claims to be an expert mediator. In my case there was no mediating anything. In office meetings she referenced her "plan" but would kowtow to my ex's firm offer without question. Her office smelled of oily malfeasance. The interactions were covered with slime. When your ex repeats to you verbatim private conversation you had with her, you know you're screwed. No ethics at all. She and her paralegal lose paperwork, delay proceedings, "misplace" information. The disorganization is appalling. Despite asking for it, I never received itemized monthly invoicing as is the standard with law firms. When I fired her she pulled her costs out of thin air & came up with numbers to account for the total use of the retainer I paid. Overall the experience sent bile rising to my throat. It was a waste of time & money. Aspects of it fell into the pool of kinky, especially her relationship with my ex. Don't feel lucky that this shyster can take your case. TURN AROUND AND RUN! Due to illness there have been delays in my pursuit of justice giving Christina what she deserves. But it's still in okay. As far as positive reviews, I'd take them with a block of salt. Out of desperation I fell for the initial consult where Christina tells you what you want to hear. My tip is that no matter how desperate you feel, you can do a better job representing yourself than this poor excuse of an attorney ever will.

Prior to the consult, I provided her office with pertinent documents. Ms. Ferrante provided the most incredible consultation and to my surprise, she actually reviewed my documents before our consultation. She exudes reassuring confidence and compassion.

Trust me, if I am unsuccessful in my attempt to resolve my matter, I will absolutely be retaining Ms. Ferrante. She is an outstanding attorney.

I had a previous attorney and ended up wasting nearly $15,000 from start to finish -- and by "finish," I mean the point where I finally had to let him go. He was a nice guy, but "nice" wasn't getting me results. I needed someone attentive, educated, aggressive, proactive -- someone who truly fights for their clients. That's exactly what I got with VANESSA GNEWKOW and her team. They were so on top of everything that at times they were stressing me out because I couldn't keep up with how proactive they were. That's the kind of attorney you want in your corner! Time is money. If you want to spend months going back and forth, wasting time and paying more money with the wrong attorney, keep scrolling. But if you're tired, frustrated, and ready to finally get through whatever situation you're dealing with and move on in life, call her office IMMEDIATELY and schedule a consultation. Make sure to tell her you read ANTHONY DEL TORO's review and you are ready to retain her immediately!!! Moral of the story: When you hire Vanessa Gnewkow, other attorneys will tuck their tails between their legs. I HIGHLY recommend Vanessa and her team. 5 stars all the way!!! Don't waste your time with anyone else!!!

From the very beginning, everyone in the office treated me with genuine care and respect. They were consistently communicative, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the workers' compensation process.

He kept me informed and empowered throughout, and he didn't stop pushing until we both felt completely confident in the outcome. If I ever find myself in need of legal help again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to reach out to James and his team. They turned a difficult situation into a manageable one and delivered results that truly mattered. Highly recommend!

It's already frustrating going through the whole ordeal, but this team certainly makes the load much lighter. The entire staff exemplifies want integrity and business ethics should look like.

Though we sustained some injuries the LORD was merciful & saved our lives! It took this long to be resolved as we had an attorney that took care of the 1st part (the offender's insurance) but passed away before finishing with the 2nd part of uninsured/underinsured through our insurance. Thank GOD we found the Attorney Justin King! He is fair, very professional, hard working even for a case that probably didn't give him a lot. Still they handled us in a way that changed my view of attorneys...for the better. They did not tack on any extra expenses & when our case with the insurance company was finished they fought tooth & nail (thank you Garrett Tuckerman/Paralegal) to be sure that we received our entire portion of the settlement that was due us. He had quite a sparring with the Hospital representative that was tacking on non relevant charges. He would not give up! In the end everything was worked out & everyone got their fair share. We would highly recommend the Law Offices of Justin H. King to anyone in need of representation in personal injury incident. Feel free to tell them your concerns. They do care!

When she hired the law firm, Haslam & Thorne this year and started working with Michelle as her primary attorney, and also with Brian, I finally saw a shift in her favor. The attorneys were extremely professional and aggressive in getting my sister what she and her kids deserve, in addition to arrearages from the past five years. They saw through all the gaslighting and lies from her ex-husband and cut straight to the chase, simplifying things into simple calculations based off financial documents and tax returns. They also caught his attorney using outdated calculations and forms meant to benefit their client, and updated the forms appropriately. They are in constant communication with my sister, respond quickly and are polite and supportive in their correspondence. After struggling for several years, my sister is finally hopeful that she will be able to provide for her children as they deserve. I can't express enough how wonderful it is to see her receive her just dues and become hopeful about life again.

Brian was referred in 2018 to get temporary guardianship of our 3 year old grandson. My husband…read moregot it. So very sadly- our daughter in law and then our son passed away within 5 months of each other. My husband went and got the permanent guardianship. Everything went great. Fast forward to 2023. We had felt that our grandson would be in a better place with our daughter because she was having kids and we wanted the very best for our grandson. Or so we thought!!! My husband had guardianship still and our grandson would come and stay with us often because it was his original home. Our daughter and husband were starting to keep our boy from seeing us as often of which- he started breaking down sobbing because he wanted to see us more and yet still live there with them. Due to crazy things- we decided we were just going to adopt him and retained Brian again. Brian put his daughter Michelle on the case. Horrible move. These last few years of just trying to see our grandson more- our daughter and her husband took us to court and played as dirty as you could ever get. They had an amazing lawyer-Vanessa Gnekow- and of course our grandson tells us that our counsel- Michelle- is great friends with the opposing counsel- Vanessa. We had already sensed it because we were losing everything. Sadly- Michelle played it off as they're just acquaintances and didn't step away. We refused to go to trial and fight our son in law and daughter's lies because we were already feeling Michelle was on their side. Never hire a lawyer who you can tell she doesn't care nor will fight. Except we didn't hire her- she was pushed on us. Things in court agreed upon- Michelle let the opposing side take it away. All the money as guardian that we gave every month to our daughter to help with everything and the money we spent on all his medical and dental and everything else- Michelle didn't fight for us when they sued us for every penny we got as guardian. The mediation took place to come to a middle ground and we now are paying money we had already paid our son in law every month. Make sense right? Thanks to Michelle raking in thousands of dollars from us and helping her opposing lawyer - good friend- we only have short phone calls. Our grandson was involved in the court case because I found him included in the opposing peoples iPad on the messages where the court was talked about. He was 9 and then turned 10. Michelle kept going after me for things they accused me of. I definitely know she didn't like me and therefore had no desire to do exactly what was right for our grandson. Our poor grandson is the victim- he lost his beloved Oma and papa and his biological family due to non existent 'fighting' for our grandson and what HE wanted. Our grandson lives in fear while on FaceTime and they are always right there. He panics. We informed Michelle that our grandson was being slapped in the face with open hands and having shoes thrown at him- the court said no they can't do that anymore. That our grandson was being around a child his age who was doing bad things to him. Michelle responded with- that's another case. Well- this case was all about a child and whose home was safe. Thanks to Michelle- our grandson doesn't see us because our son in law who by the way has only been in our life since 2012- we know nothing about him- he has the guardianship of our beautiful boy put in our care by our deceased son and daughter in law. Always read reviews because they are what's so important. Save all your money for someone who will actually fight for you. We paid Michelle to lose everything.
