I had a rather complicated situation of having been married in California, but received a foreign divorce, as I now live abroad. After having received absolutely no help from the State Attorney’s office regarding my situation, I knew I would need the help of a lawyer. Vanessa was referred to me by another lawyer, and we ended up speaking over the phone a short time later. She put me at ease right away with her optimistic, confident demeanor. The information and advice she provided me was exactly what I needed. I am very grateful to Vanessa, and will definitely contact her again if I need any help in the future.

Vanessa took over my case and tied up all my loose ends. My case settled and I am a happy person today.

Reviewed my divorce agreement, came up with a plan, filed an excellent complaint at fair cost, led to mediation with all issues resolved. Fantastic effective legal work and advice. Would highly reccomend this lawyer and her team.

Being from out of the state, I found Vanessa Nellis's law firm on Yelp, and decided to contact them for initial consultation of my past legal separation and proposed divorce case. I prepaid for my consult emailed many docs, and info before our telephone consultation. Although this turned into a referral, I received an immense amount of good legal advise in a very short conversation. I was very happy to pay for this, but in the end, my fee was waived. I will now do much of my own paperwork in a different direction that never occurred to me. Vanessa is a great communicator, and knows how to determine a practical course I think. I will be happy to retain her if the need arises.

For the past three years we've had to struggle with my ex wife. Venessa had to put up with her Seven Attorneys starting from scratch with each one till it was finalised. Venessa kept in contact with me on everything! Her Secretary and staff was very helpful in my case. She was fast to act and react with answers with my case. I'm a man of few words but I felt I was well represented. My Ex use to work for a lawferm so it was quite a fight. sorry no spell check

incompetemt to handle a case on her own. needs another shareholder. has .25 minimum bills so you get billed 15 minutes for a 1 minute phone call. 3 attorneys + paralegal all bill on case. polarizing personality and then when money runs out (goes way over budget due to multiple billers and .25 minimums) she will threaten a motion to withdraw at client's expense unless you immediately pick up your file. she is all about billable hours and getting paid. picks fights and requests sanction payable to her firm but motion is billed to client.
