Cristina L Vazquez

We hired Cristina Vazquez attorney and paid several thousand dollars , but unfortunately received no meaningful legal services in return. Over the course of the representation, she repeatedly canceled appointments and failed to make progress on the case. When my family member asked for an explanatio...n of what work had been done, the attorney became unprofessional, yelled, and made threats instead of providing answers. Shortly after, she withdrew from the case in the middle of representation, leaving my family member without legal counsel. We also discovered serious concerns regarding unauthorized use of a signature, which is extremely troubling. As a result, my family member lost time, money, and legal protection. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this attorney and advise others to proceed with extreme caution.

Leaving a message is a joke. Her mail box is often full and when you do finally get through and leave a message she doesn't return the calls. The only time I had a chance to speak to her is the day of court providing she doesn't cancel. She did not follow through on how I suggested to peruse this cas...e and proceeded to tell me the best way to go. Which seems to me, translated to the least amount of effort on her part. The reason I say this is simple, how could others involved in my case using different lawyers yet charged with the same exact charges, not to mention they had prior convictions be placed on probation? Matter of fact one of them with more charges came out better then myself. He received probation also. Being my first offense I would expect at least the same. I asked how this could happen. My conclusion, it is because Christina was court appointed to my case and she choose the easy road for her. Her suggestion on how to proceed succeeded in getting me time. Min of a year. I will be writing to NJ Office of Attorney Ethics about her incompetent behavior. Hopefully I can fire her and get my case appealed. I suggest anyone looking for a lawyer by pass this one.
