Huge waste of money, might as well throw thousands of dollars in a trash can. He was very unprofessional, rude, and he didn’t even know his right law forms. To me it seems like he doesn’t know what he is doing. To add the cherry on top he won’t even bother showing up to his court dates to represent you. But he is very quick to charge you for more money.

Vanessa Gnekow did an amazing job with my case. Vanessa and her crew did an outstanding job making sure I got what I needed. After a few stressful months Vanessa and her crew made me feel sigh of relief. Do to my case I was fighting for possibly my job and son. She was able to make sure I had nothing to worry about and turned everything into a positive case for me. I have nothing but praise how well she handled herself in court. Vanessa was a true professional during my case. I would recommend Vanessa Gnekow to anyone who is needing of a good Family lawyer! I also have to give a shout out to Ms. Daisy!! She made me be on top of everything that needed to be filled out. Without her and Vanessa I don’t think I would have receive what I had want in my hearing. Thanks for everyone who help with my case! I appreciate everything you have done for me. I can now enjoy my time with my son who in fact is the most important person in my life!! Vanessa & Team: THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!  Gabe H.

I can’t say enough good things about Vanessa Gnekow! She’s been amazing all throughout my case, she truly cares about her clients and fighting for their rights as parents. I’ve been through hell and back with other lawyers, and in million years I never thought I’d be writing a 5 star review for one, but Vanessa is the exception. Vanessa and her staff communicated extremely well with me as progress was being made in the case, & even after court to make sure court orders were being followed. As a single divorced father who has been fighting for his kids for 5 long hard years, please take my advice and give Vanessa a call. This will save you time, pain & suffering & thousands of dollars being dumped into the pockets of useless lawyers all over Riverside County, like I did. Thank you once again to Vanessa & her amazing staff, I’m forever great full to you all. And good luck to all my fellow fathers fighting for their kids, don’t ever give up!

Vanessa is hands down a go getter attorney! My case is going on four years and Vanessa has fought tirelessly this whole time and continues to fight for me until the end! I cannot express enough her commitment to seeing my case through. She is brilliant in the courtroom and really carries herself professionally. If you need someone who will fight for your case, then you need Vanessa!

Ms. Gnekow is an amazing attorney who truly cares about her clients. She is fair and always transparent, which for me was huge in my divorce. She doesn't overcharge you, and she is knowledgeable in the field. I had a very positive experience with her during a very difficult time. Would highly recommend for any family law matter.

I was so pleased that I hire Vanessa she was very professional and knew her stuff when it came to get things done in the courtroom. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and I would highly recommend her if you want someone to be a badass for you and take care of you with your legal matters!

I can’t thank Vanessa and her father and her staff enough for the hard work they put into my case. The most stressful and exhausting situation I’ve had to endure that because so much easier thanks to them. Forever grateful and truly blessed of all that this office represents.

I was referred to Ms Gnekow by a good friend. Previously I had spent about 15k with a different big name law firm that netted zero results. I was going to just represent myself and give it my best shot. The day before my hearing my friend told me I needed to hire Ms Gnekow. I was skeptical about wasting my money on another lawyer, but I’m glad I called her. Ms Gnekow was very friendly and knowledgeable over the phone. I regained some faith in finding a Lawyer that actually heard me and wanted to help.  I hired Ms Gnekow immediately after that phone call and I have been grateful ever since. Ms Gnekow is very professional and direct. She will make sure you stay in line and keep you aware of what’s in your best interests. When it comes to courtroom performances she is very aggressive and passionate. During my hearings Ms Gnekow acted as if my children were her own. I could hear and sense the passion in her voice. I thank god I did not try to do this myself. There would have been zero chance that I would be able to relay my thoughts as intelligently and as aggressively as she did. My entire perspective of lawyers and the family law industry has changed thanks to Ms Gnekow and her entire team. Nobody wants to have to fight over their kids but if you have to, you should be prepared with the best representation you can find. I can’t begin to recommend Ms Gnekow and her team enough. I’m forever grateful for their efforts and services and will continue to use them for any further family matters.

Vanessa is a TRUE Advocate and GREAT Attorney! As a dad who has constantly always fought for my daughter, I was drained from the court hearings and constantly dealing with the erratic behavior of my daughter's mother. When I came across Vanessa on Avvo I believed she could help from her reviews but I truly didn't know her brilliance and the new level that she and her team would elevate my position too. Vanessa and her team made sure that my voice was heard artfully, in depth and effectively. Vanessa was my advocate no matter what position I was taking on an issue but she made sure to be honest and real with me on areas that needed to be addressed. The guidance that Vanessa provided for me and my wife during this custody process with my daughter's mother was outstanding. And during this unique time of COVID 19, Vanessa was accessible and if I could not reach her immediately then co-counsel, Heather, would reach out to me or my wife. In addition, all of the paralegals, especially Devin and Julie were so quick on their feet with getting back to us with a game plan or information that Vanessa needed to relay to us. It was never a time where my wife and I felt lost in the process because they were so efficient with emails, calls and communication in general. I highly recommend retaining Vanessa before your opposing party does because she is that good! Everyday my wife and I talk about how happy we are that we found her on Avvo. Vanessa actually did what I wanted her to do and even better than I could have even thought of. We believe God placed her in our path because she was aggressive, intelligent, skilled and polite at the same time. Vanessa is a big reason that I won our case and my daughter will have a true chance at stability and a healthier childhood. Thank you so much Vanessa! I truly cannot express how grateful my wife and I are to you as well as your team. I will definitely be hiring Vanessa again for any family matters or any type of law that she specializes in. - Mac and Taylor

Words cannot express the gratitude, respect, and appreciation I have for Vanessa Gnekow and her team. I have always been skeptical about legal representation, but hiring Vanessa made a huge difference in court. I first went to court in 2016 on my own (pro per), and it was mentally and emotionally draining. I was unable to have the court understand my side and the outcome was not what I wanted. Then I was unfortunately served again in 2019, and I knew I needed help this time. In court Vanessa expressed all my concerns and was very aggressive. She made sure the commissioner understood my side of the story and also used her knowledge of the laws to defend me. I left the court room with a sense of joy and satisfaction. The table has completely turned in my favor and I know now, that having a great lawyer like Vanessa is completely worth it. She has made a positive change in my life and my children and I are very thankful.

Familias tengan mucho cuidado con este abogado es muy mal abogado el y su personal son muy buenos para cobrar para eso si son buenos cero estralla ellos compran los cuadros que cuelgan en la oficina

Mrs. Gnekow is one of the best attorneys I have retained. Ms. Daisy was an incredible help as well. Mrs. Gnekow got me through my divorce with ease & as little stress as possible. She made the entire process a breeze. I felt as if I was her only client. Each time I called in, I received the help I needed & was promptly updated through the process. I would highly recommend her for any of your legal matters. Thank you Mrs. Gnekow, I truly appreciate your hard work & dedication to your practice.
