Really didn't listen to me during consultation. Said that I would work with people in her office instead of her. Said I would get the same outcome then the last time. I got the last outcome myself so why would I need someone who didn't sounded like they cared.

ZERO STARS!!Horrible attorney; her and her father are sharing the same practice and they are like a mafia. Vanessa Gnekow is a horrible attorney; who practically depends on her paralegals to write down her defenses which she entirely unaware of except right at the hearing day. Not to mention that she lost her temper on the judge on my case multiple times. Because she does not have the legal skills or defense knowledge; she rambles and get entirely frustrated. This has lead the judge on my case to dismiss my hearings multiple times. Vanessa lost my case Despite the other party being pro per. She has financially drained me and then overcharged me after paying up all her fees. This attorney needs anger management and I would not recommend her to anyone!

Mr. Garcia and Mrs. Gnekow were exceptional in their representation. They worked on my case which was difficult. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an ex-wife who had no interest in dealing or negotiating in good faith for what would be best for our children. My case has been on-going for nearly five years. Multiple RFO's filed through the years and endless litigation just to get small extensions of my visitation. The biggest issue is I had no legal or physical custody rights to my children. I was in a big deficit. I had a previous attorney that was good, but Mrs. Gnekow had big plans for me. She believed in my case and from day one believed she could help me get more than what I was even asking for. I had pretty much dropped the idea of joint legal custody because most people thought I needed a change of circumstance to make that happen. Not Mrs. Gnekow or Mr. Garcia. They saw their chance to argue that for me along with all my other requests which were very reasonable, (holidays, half of vacation breaks,). When they time came in the last few weeks to go to court; we hardly spent time in the actual courtroom. It took a few weeks to navigate through the stipulation and I knew my ex-wife would not go down without a fight, but in the end Mrs. Gnekow and Mr. Garcia got it done. I am a Christian and God brings people into your life for a reason. God brought me to this firm and their firm delivered beyond my expectations which is how God operates. He always exceeds your expectations as long as you have faith. Thank you again Mrs. Gnekow and Mr. Garcia and the rest of your firm.

Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional, very prompt on answering any of my questions and concerns. She was encouraging during the entire process. Very reliable attorney and without a doubt recommend her!

Vanessa Gnekow helped me through a very difficult time. With the fear of losing my child it was hard to concentrate but she had all the answers. Her and her team were well informed and always had an answer when i needed it. I am completely satisfied with her performance. She did not back down, knowledgable and aggressive in the court room. The results she was able to obtain for me was better than I had anticipated

Vanessa is a Super Attorney! Her knowledge of family law and experience set her apart. Her individual strength and her passion to serve her client makes a difference in the court room.
