Vanessa M. Nenni
Biography
I have been practicing law in the Lehigh Valley since 1986. When I first arrived in Bethlehem, I took the larger firm route and was employed by larger firms for the first half of my legal career. When I opened my private "solo" practice, for the first time, I truly understood what it meant to be an attorney and "counselor" at law. I understand that retaining the services of an attorney can be emotionally exhausting and an incredibly trying time. I know and understand that your legal matter is of great importance to you. I promise you that your case, no matter how large or small will be given my prompt attention. I will do my best to ensure that your experience with an attorney is as pleasant as it can be under the circumstances and I will give you the personalized attention you deserve.
