Gabriela's assistance, wisdom, and knowledge in immigration helped shape my future. Looking for a third opinion, I found Gabriela on google and she took my case to the heart and proceeded to help mediate in my relationship with an ex-partner as well as my immigration case. She not only was the third person and third opinion I looked for but really the only one that offered me a viable solution when I was ready to give up. I would reach out to Gabriela without hesitation If I need assistance again in the future. She was able to close my case with a response in my favor and was always cheerful throughout the process.
As an immigration attorney, I help families seeking to bring family members from other countries into the U.S. through the proper legal process.
The areas of immigration that Vega Acosta Law handles are: family-based adjustment of status, DACA and VAWA.
As a family law attorney I help people seeking assistance in divorce, legal separation, child custody/support, paternity, per-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
20 years
My desire to become an attorney arose out of my family's experience immigrating to the United States. Â From the age of 10, I acted as a translator for my parents on important issues. Whether it was obtaining a car loan or talking to a doctor, I learned the importance of having the right person advocate on your behalf. Â
Â
Today, I enjoy being a source of information and a strong advocate for my clients. Â If you have questions in one of my areas of concentration, please call to schedule a consultation. Â It would be our pleasure to assist you.

Very impressed
I applied for lawful permanent citizenship at USCIS and got denied.
During the first consultation with the lawyer I learned that she is very open minded and precise. She did a time effective job helping me to get the needed forms for USCIS, personal documents, information and even pictures in a collection that she delivered to USCIS. In a few short but very effective meetings she prepared me for the interview and she even attendend with me. Thanks for her help the interview at USCIS was short, effective and successful. I am happy and thankful for the excellent work she did.

The best attorney to hire
Choosing an attorney in family law was difficult, but I'm so grateful for the help of Ms. Vega! She guided me through the steps of a custody proceeding and was nothing short of exemplary. I cannot thank her or Ms. Berger enough for their diligence, knowledge and guidance to ease the pain of such a long, agonizing process. Without them, I would be lost. Their humility and compassion was invaluable. I may only be one of the many, many cases they will touch upon, but this experience will impact the two most precious people in my life. And it means the world to us. Our sincerest gratitude to you both!

Highly recommended
Gabriella was my divorce attorney less than a year ago. She ensured I understood all aspects of my divorce and child support as each step proceeded. Gabriella was very compassionate during one of the most difficult times of my life. She encouraged and supported me to push harder for what I deserved. She always returns my phone calls and/or emails promptly. I would recommend Gabriella to anyone who is needing an attorney.

Has no Real Experience in Family Law
Gabriela Vega Does not understand the law for family court well. She reads & recites the law verbatim from text during court without really understating what it means. The judge continually made her look like a fool because she failed to prove her point. She is also carless with personal information knowing there was a PFA order and knowing the abuser has violated the pfa order multiple times and is waiting trail on felony charges. Having this information on public documents, thus giving the abuser the information, while the victim has the right to keep information private. She carelessly put the victim in immediate danger. She may be good with immigration law, but do yourself a favor and hire a better attorney if seeking a family lawyer. With what she charges, you can easily pay the same for a better lawyer with family law experience.

Poor performance
Failed to submit proper paperwork to the court in a timely manner. Failed to submit witness list therefore her client had no one to testify for her client. She was admonished by the judge twice because of her performance in court. She was a admonished by the judge for failing to submit the proper paperwork that was required by the court. She openly admitted in court that it was her failure. I would not refer Gabriella to anyone because of the performance that she provided

ignored my phone calls and did not honor our appointment
I called for assistance with an immigration and divorce issue and she never returned my calls or made herself available for the appointment her assistant set up over the phone. I called several times to work with her schedule thinking she was just very busy, however, my issue was never resolved and she never contacted me at all.

Immigration Attorney | Jan 11
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have worked personally with Gabriela on many matters. Anytime that I have a criminal matter that has immigration implications I do not hesitate to pick up my phone and call Gabriela. She has been an invaluable resource to me in my personal practice. She is well versed in the law and always has a strategy to deal with unforeseen obstacles. She cares deeply for her clients and never forgets that she is doing great work for hard-working people. I highly endorse Gabriela to anyone needing any kind of immigration or domestic (or both) work done for them. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars."
