About Gabriela
Biography
My desire to become an attorney arose out of my family's experience immigrating to the United States. 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.
Today, I enjoy being a source of information and a strong advocate for my clients. If you have questions in one of my areas of concentration, please call to schedule a consultation. It would be our pleasure to assist you.

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 s...

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 deserve...
Gabriela Amada Vega-Acosta's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"If you are looking for a lawyer who will give you excellent, professional representation with the personal attention that every case deserves, look no further. Few attorneys are as hard-working, competent, and compassionate as Gabriela Vega. I am proud to give her my wholehearted endorsement."
