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.

Efficient, caring, straightforward

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.

Immigration lawyer | 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."
