Terrible arrogant attorney
First if you get this man as an attorney you have to call a week ahead of time to make an appointment for a phone call lol.

Speeding/Traffic Ticket Lawyer Review
Received Speeding ticket 72/55..Called Vasquez lawfirm, paid fees and they handled the rest so I wouldn't have to go to court. Got speeding violation reduced to a moving violation and no points were added to my record and my insurance premium didn't rise..

Great and honest lawyer for the price
Was very honest and kept me well informed on my case. Will defineatly be using Mr. Vasquez again if the need should arise. Was also very reasonable on his rate and upfront with his pricing and cheaper than most other lawyers i talked to with the results i needed and much appreciated.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.
Reprimand issued in NC, 2017
updated on 05/02/2026Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
William’s comment:
“The 2017 reprimand concerned the handling of a client file transfer when an associate attorney departed the firm, and contract language that the North Carolina State Bar deemed improper. The matter involved file-transfer procedures and contract drafting practices, which I have since updated. I appreciated the State Bar's guidance, fully complied with the resolution, and have practiced without incident since.”
