She also keeps up to date on emerging trends in the law to preserve her clients’ rights in the future.

ACCESSIBLE

Attorney Menken understands how frustrating and disheartening it can be when someone you’ve hired to assist you in a time of great need is uncommunicative. For that reason, Ms. Menken makes every effort to keep her clients informed of developments in their cases and to be personally available via telephone, mobile phone, text message, email, fax, and good-old-fashioned U.S. mail. You will often find her at her desk and on the job outside of normal business hours.

EFFICIENT

Attorney Menken’s streamlined business model allows her to maintain affordable rates. She firmly believes that any citizen facing the fearsome power of the government should have excellent representation. Her clients span the socio-economic spectrum, and each one gets the same level of care.
