WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Wow where do I start? I hired Thomas September 2018 and he has been my…read moreattorney for over a year now. My ex continues to make false bs claims such as false child abuse claims and a false restraining order claim. Needless to say he continues to lose and I always win. In fact Thomas even got my ex less time and I was granted a year of backpay in child support in addition to everything I wanted after mediation. Thomas is the most brilliant, ruthless, savage man in the courtroom. He argues so well and knows the law better than any of those other basic attorneys that the last time we went to court he did so well that people were going up to Thomas asking for a business card to retain him! Although he hurts my wallet every time I retain him lol he is completely WORTH IT and there is no one else I'd trust as my attorney. I can see the fear it the other attorneys faces when they have to fight against him and I love to watch him argue. He keeps his composure and backfires to opposing counsel and I always feel so much better when I see him because he really does know his shit and court is stressful enough. But with the right attorney, it makes a huge difference. I cant thank him enough for everything he has done for me and I am forever grateful to Thomas for all he's done for me. We go back next month for sanctions and attorney fees and I am certain we will win that too! HIRE HIM - you wont find a better qualified man to destroy opposing party and win your case.

Mr. Zitney was clear, sharp, and honest from day one. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear -- he walked me through potential outcomes, helped me assess whether pursuing certain paths made sense financially, and was upfront about the risks. That made it easier to stay focused and avoid costly mistakes. His courtroom presence was strong and respectful, and he was prepared for every twist. His team was also great -- fast, professional, and compassionate. If you're going through a messy property or divorce case and want someone who will fight smart -- not just hard -- this is the office you want on your side.

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!!!

My divorce was tough because my EX made it tough. Every little thing was a battle. Every simple…read morething was made complicated because my EX made it difficult. My divorce took two long years due to my EX stretching out the process. She was as difficult as they come. I witnessed Julianne argue and negotiate my case with the Judge and with the other attorney, and defend me as a the involved father that I am. As a man, a father, or any other parent for that matter, my EX was trying to wipe me out of existence. She was trying to hurt me legally and financially. I counted on Julianne to defended me. If it wasn't for Julianne's efforts in being smart, diligent, strong, and knowing my case inside and out I would not have the blessing of having shared custody of my beautiful kids and salvage my relationship with them. Julianne patiently explained the process and answered all of my questions. She remembered my concerns and went to work. I will always remember that. Let me be clear no one wins in a divorce, and I mean no one, but in the end I got everything I wanted financially, emotionally, and I was vindicated thanks to Julianne. Many time I though of going at it alone, but I'm glad Julianne was there to carry the weight and burden of my case. If you want an attorney that will defend your right and privileges as a parent or for any family court issue. I recommend you choose Julianne.

My ex was trying to make me only have them every other weekend and fought tooth and nail against anything more than that. I was planning to go it alone. Boy, am I glad I didn't! Mr. Abernathy stood up for me, he fought HARD for me, and he didn't give up until I got 50/50. He's a fighter, he's knowledgeable, and he's a strong attorney. I do not regret hiring him at all. He is expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The hardest thing is bedside manner. He's not gentle, he's not nice, he'll call you out straight to your face. But... he isn't gonna sugar-coat stuff. He'll firmly and bluntly tell you how it is, because it's what will help you make an informed decision about your case. He's also an excellent communicator - available by text or email. That was super helpful to assuage concerns I had about the case at odd hours. And he gets results. I have no regrets and all the recommendations for him. Hire him!

I went against my gut feeling that told me not to hire this joke of an attorney, twice. My criminal…read moreattorney suggested abernathy to me though. Before I hired him he was rude to my mother who called for a consult as well. This was the worst referral my criminal attorney could have ever given me. During my $200 consult, he rushed me, was driving (but said he was taking notes), and said you have to have money and patience. Let me be perfectly clear, Christopher Abernathy is a horrible attorney. If you are considering him, do not, you will regret it. You will waste precious time that you don't have, you will waste money, your case will be WORSE off due to him either siding with opposing counsel, not having any idea what your case is about or who you are. And most importantly, you will lose your most precious treasure in life, your children. You need to take all the negative reviews very seriously, they are correct. They actually don't describe fully just how awful this attorney truly is. He is extremely disrespectful, never shuts his mouth except while in front of a judge, and literally yelled and berated my mother and I for asking questions immediately after my hearing on 5/8. I spoke to another attorney, he said well usually only rich people retain him. I sense this attorney's specialty is high asset divorce, nothing more. He knows he doesn't have to do much and he will get paid hopefully for years during those cases. If you have a complicated child custody case he will 100% lose your case and definitely not improve it. I had false domestic violence and child abuse allegations by the o.p in juvenile dependency, which gave final orders in family court. I had minimum of 2 hours a week supervised visits. chris had his horrible paralegal jerome mallard (no prior paralegal experience by the way) write my ex parte to return custody of my children, which chris didn't defend, and didn't know the details of, chris didn't read the declaration his paralegal wrote. That's how much he doesn't care. During the hearing the judge looked to chris to speak, and he didn't. The judge looked at him said the case name and ex parte by chris, and he still didn't speak. The judge then said, well.. this is your ex parte (waiting for him to speak). chris finally embarrassingly spoke, and said im not going to bore the court you have what we wrote. The judge asked why did the o.p terminate his paid supervisor? chris didn't answer and motioned as if he didn't know (letter from o.p attached to filing). I told chris I want more time, I can do 20 hours each weekend alone. abernathy ignored everything I told him. He said sorry judge I couldn't hear my client is talking to me. Now I am worse off than I was before hiring abernathy, which was at the beginning of April. He wasted the entire month of April supposedly working on my case (ex parte), delaying my case only to decrease my visitation hours on May 8. A whole month went by with me not being able to schedule a visit with my children. All jerome did was write a declaration (30 days?). The opposing party's attorney filed their response declaration in 1 day. He didn't say one word to go against the judge's suggestion of lesser visitation hours a month. The painful truth, I had sole physical custody all my children's lives and raised them, while their absent mother lived 500 miles away, had another child it abandoned, and kidnapped my children and made false cps & police reports to steal custody. Abernathy started shouting in the hallways right after court, everyone could hear him, he's an idiot. One admin worker told him to go somewhere else that she could hear him from very far away and he started arguing with her. I couldn't even get a full question in because he was constantly shouting in my face as if we were in the middle of a conversation but I had not even finished one question. The whole time I was trying to figure out what is wrong with him, such immature & bizarre behavior. I later realized he was trying to incite a negative reaction from me to claim conflict of interest and quit my case, because he doesn't want any case that is remotely difficult, he is lazy, just like the majority of attorneys. When he didn't get the reaction he needed from me to remove himself from my case he offered to refund my entire 10k retainer. I waited until today when his return-transfer to me finally cleared (3 days) to write his review. That's why he returned my entire retainer, in hopes I wouldn't write a review revealing how pathetic of an attorney he is and how his malpractice made my child custody case worse.

When it came time for court, Danielle fought vigorously to ensure my voice was heard and successfully obtained orders that I am extremely happy and grateful for.
