I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Vazquez was my opposing counsel in a paternity action. She was always extremely professional and always responsive. She was a reasonable person and very amicable. The paternity action was settled in a quick and efficient way. I have also referred a few criminal cases to her and the individuals referred expressed their gratitude for referring them to Ms. Vazquez. Those individuals had exceptional things to say about her and that’s because Ms. Vazquez truly cares about her clients. Ms. Vazquez has obtained favorable results for the people I have referred to her. I never hesitate to refer any and all criminal matters to her because I know she will get the job done!
