Vanessa is a third-generation attorney and is proud to continue two of her family’s legacies: practicing law and business ownership. Vanessa is a diligent and passionate attorney who cares deeply about helping her clients solve their problems. Whether it is representing a client in the largest transaction of their lives in purchasing or selling real property, helping a client probate a family member’s will in a probate proceeding, or representing a client who has been harmed through the acts of others, Vanessa represents her clients’ interests with professionalism and a steadfast commitment to a resolution.
While at St. Mary’s School of Law, Vanessa was the proud recipient of the Dean’s Scholarship. She was chosen for the Retired Chief Justice Alma L. Lopez Woman in Law Leadership Award as an exemplary student who maintained honor, integrity, and personal authenticity in educational pursuits, personal life, and career goals, as well as providing advocacy on behalf of low-income, battered, and abused women and children. Additionally, Vanessa interned with private firms and with a sitting State Senator while in law school. Vanessa also received a Community Service Certificate upon graduating for an exceptional number of hours devoted to bettering her community. Vanessa has continued this devotion to pro bono work to this day as a proud participant in the San Antonio Bar Association’s free legal clinics available to the San Antonio community.
After graduating from law school, Vanessa spent five years working for the largest publicly-traded bank headquartered in San Antonio. As such, Vanessa spent years in a leadership role for her organization, working with upper management on a daily basis to maintain the company’s compliance with regulatory laws, rules, and regulations. After leaving the company, Vanessa joined a San Antonio law firm and developed skills that have become critical for the practice she has to this day. She was recently selected as a member of the inaugural class of the Bexar County Women’s Bar Foundation’s LEAD Academy, and enjoyed her time as a member of Leadership San Antonio, Class 39. Vanessa has recently decided to follow in her family’s footsteps and open a practice dedicated to bettering the lives of her clients.

I've known Vanessa for years and am proud to call her both a colleague and a friend. Civil and Contractual Law are areas that require both tireless advocacy and an immense amount of attention to detail. Any lawyer can say that they are "very experienced" in their field(s) of law but when you hire Vanessa, you know that she has the background to actually back that claim up. For several years, Vanessa was assistant vice president and senior legal and compliance officer at Frost Bank, one of the largest banks in the United States. Vanessa also previously served as an associate at the highly esteemed Rosenblatt Law Firm in San Antonio, Texas. Choosing a lawyer is a stressful and extremely difficult process, but when you hire Vanessa, you can be assured that your case will be handled with compassion and competence. I highly recommend her.
