Vanessa Elaine Candelaria

I'm so thankful for Vanessa and her staff. I was very anxious about starting the process of gaining full legal and physical custody of my daughters. Once I met with Vanessa, she put my mind at ease and I knew that I found the right attorney to work with. She took the time to sit down and listen to m...e, and explained what the process would entail and all of the possible options. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field. Once my case started, she and her staff were very good at keeping me updated. Whenever I had a question, they were answered promptly and in a way that I could easily understand. I would definitely recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking for a positive and wonderful experience.

As everyone who has gone through it can attest, divorce is typically a very long, complicated and overwhelming process. After more than 2 years of attempting to complete my divorce on my own and not getting anywhere, I was fortunate enough to find Vanessa Candelaria. Her professionalism and expertise... has made a huge difference in moving towards finalizing my divorce quickly. And best of all, she has been instrumental in helping me achieve all of my requested custody adjustments. Thanks to her, I will finally have a workable and ideal custody agreement and much more quality time with my two children. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate than Vanessa. If you are feeling overwhelmed and alone in your divorce proceedings, do yourself a favor and hire Vanessa to get you through it all with the best results possible. Thanks again Vanessa!

Vanessa was my opposing counsel in a very high conflict custody case when I was an associate at a larger firm. I was very impressed by Vanessa's advocacy skills as well as by her experience and knowledge of the law, as was the lead partner supervising me on the case. While many attorneys would have... litigated every issue in the matter (and ramped up their attorney fees), Vanessa and I were able to reach stipulated orders to both of our clients' benefits. I was so impressed with Vanessa, that I have since referred her clients when my present firm has a conflict of interest. Anyone who is represented by Vanessa will have the pleasure of dealing with a down to earth and incredibly intelligent lady. She is somebody that I am always excited to have against me on a case because I know she will be ethical and fair. At the same time, I know her litigation skill-set and familiarity with the courtroom will call for a lot of effort and focus on my part. She can be very aggressive in both seemingly amicable settings and in Court, so do not be fooled by her pretty smile and seemingly low-key demeanor.

I feared having to take that next step. The next step required was hiring an attorney. I knew right away that Vanessa had my best interest in mind. Not only did she explain everything in way I could understand she took the time needed to help me feel comfortable about my future journey. She provided ...all the information and laws needed for me to understand my rights as a father.

Vanessa Candelaria was the third family lawyer I worked with. My case was a difficult custody case that many other lawyers even refused to consider taking on. Vanessa did an excellent job of handling the case. She was always ready with case law when we needed to go to court. I was always kept in ...the loop about any of the developments. One thing, particularly, impressed me about Vanessa. She knew when to fight and when to compromise. Many lawyers are willing to give away the store or fight pointlessly about minor issues. Vanessa struck just the right balance. Hard-working, knowledgeable lawyer that is great to have on your side.
