Mr.

Beatriz Vazquez is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. She defended me in my case and provided advice afterwards. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and advisor. She is a brilliant legal mind !

Grateful for her diligence and guidance

We retained Ms. Vazquez for a family law matter involving minor children. From the moment we met Ms. Vazquez, we knew she was the right attorney for the case. She was not only very aggressive with opposing counsel but she was always available to communicate with us at all hours. We are grateful fo...r the outcome we received and would recommend Ms. Vazquez to anyone looking for an attorney that is knowledgeable in family law matters and who actually cares about the client.

Beatriz Vazquez is a stellar attorney!

I am extremely grateful for Ms. Vazquez and her team, my situation was extremely challenging and with her help and vast knowledge of Florida family law I can now rest easy knowing that it has been resolved. You see, two years ago my son’s mother decided she no longer wished to take care of my son, wh...om I had been paying child support for since our separation. She dropped him off in the middle of the night and to this day he is still living with me. I was fully supporting my son on my own with zero outside help, all the while continuing to pay her child support. After countless, unsuccessful attempts at modifying the order with incompetent attorneys who showed absolutely no sympathy for my plight, Ms. Vazquez was referred to me by a close friend. Immediately after our first consultation, I was confident she was the right attorney for me, and not only did she meet my expectations, she exceeded them. Thanks to her, my hard earned money goes to my son’s living expenses and I am no longer struggling to survive. She will be my go-to attorney from this moment forward, there is no doubt about it. Thank you Beatriz!

Excellent Profesional

Had an amazing experience with Attorney Vazquez. I had contacted several attorneys for an issue with a family matter. She was the only one to respond to me in a quick manner. She walked me through every step of the process which resulted in the outcome I was hoping for. Hard worker, knowledgeable, ac...cessible and cares. You can’t go wrong.

Special Needs Divorce

There are no words to express how grateful I am to Beatriz Vazquez for her continued support, guidance and assistance throughout a very complicated divorce involving children with special needs. She was always available to answer any question/ concern and she fought to ensure that my children’s best ...interests were always at the forefront of the case. I don’t know where we would be without her. Highly recommend.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
