What people say?

When I was wrongfully given a citation after my car was totaled by a negligent driver that rear-ended me, I was left feeling overwhelmed and clueless how to proceed. I was referred to Vanessa by one of her former peers from law school that highly respected her. Vanessa always took the time to answer any of my questions and was genuinely committed to assisting me every step of the way. Her dedication to relentlessly advocating for me resulted in the best possible outcome for my case. I am incredibly grateful for the assistance Vanessa gave me and highly recommend her!

Vanessa was referred to me by a friend when I needed an attorney to handle a personal matter. She was compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. She made me feel comfortable from the first moment we spoke and I knew that she would work hard during the process to achieve the best outcome possible. I would highly recommend her firm.
Jennifer Frederick
Oh my goodness. Where do I start. This young lady is by far the best lawyer since the practice of Law began. Prompt responses and updates are just a part of her repertoire. If you are a "victim" of wrong doing by another, that person will quickly find out that when you mess with the bull, you will get the horns. Without going into details, she quickly squashed someone who was bad mouthing me publicly. I can not thank her enough. She is my lawyer until the day I die, and perhaps after if they try to deny me entrance into heaven. You need no one other the Vanessa King for your problems.
Greg Parks
I would highly recommend Vanessa Albaum to anyone. She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and explains everything so the non-legal person can understand. She was able to handle my situation quickly and efficiently. Without hesitation, I would say that Ms. King is the best attorney I have ever had.

Any other updates you suggest to make the site more current, I’m open to. I’m scheduled with a videographer at the end of this month and trying to get with my photographer to update headshots and take new office pics. I will send when we get them.

I first met Ms Vanessa King through a mutual friend after I had gotten myself in some legal trouble. Not sure at what I would be facing, Ms Vanessa looked at my charges and took on my case. She was very professional from the time we met; most of all she stayed in contact and kept me informed with how my case was going from beginning to end. While working on my case, Ms Vanessa showed me she is very dedicated and knowledgeable in her field. I was highly satisfied with the services she provided and highly recommend her to anyone needing a "Professional" lawyer or attorney

Vanessa is the truth. She is professional, aggressive with her approach and 100% committed to her clients. She has went above and beyond for my family members with federal cases as well as state cases. She makes sure she is there 24/7 for you and explains to you everything in depth. She isn’t a lawyer that will force you into a deal so she doesn’t have to fight a case or stand trial. She is prepared to fight to the end for you. Hands down I will always pick her if I ever need representation! Thank you for everything you have done!
