An attorney you can count on

I am grateful to have found such an amazing attorney like Vanessa. I was struggling with navigating my custody case as it was very last minute. Vanessa was quick to get back to me and had all the qualities one would want when handling such a difficult time. She is honest, she let me know during our c...onsultation the realties of my situation and steps that needed to be taken in order to file things in a timely manner. I appreciated that all my communication has been only through Vanessa directly over the phone, emails, or even in person. Vanessa communicates everything to me so I am kept in the loop and answers all my questions in a timely manner. Vanessa also used her experience and knowledge of family law to guide me through my case, providing me with reasonable options, and preparing me for what could happen. Overall I would recommend Vanessa to any individual seeking a family law attorney. This is by far one of the toughest events in my life but having Vanessa has made me feel more at ease.

Divorce and custody case

I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Vanessa Valenzuela. Going through divorce and child custody is a heart wrenching experience but she was able to make it much easier for me. From the moment I met Vanessa, she was professional, honest, reassuring and solution focused, at the same ti...me very compassionate. Vanessa is very knowledgeable and competent, she goes obove and beyond to provide the best service. Thank you Vanessa for your efforts to get the best possible outcome for me.

Exceeded my Expectations

I had a great feeling about working with Vanessa and she exceeded my expectations. She put my mind at ease with my custody case - she was kind, straightforward, and broke everything down for me splendidly. When she needed to set me straight, she did so with respect and professionalism. She’s prompt, ...communicates well, and is punctual. She handles billing with integrity. She is an excellent family law attorney and will be an asset wherever she practices law in the future.

Best Divorce Lawyer in Sacramento

Vanessa is the best professional lawyer in Sacramento to take on a family matter. She did an excellent job informing, explaining, and answering my questions regarding divorce. She also listened to my concerns and was even available to answer questions from my support group. She looked out for my b...est interest always. Vanessa is intelligent, a quick thinker, and extremely knowledgeable with the law. I was glad to have her represent me in my divorce case because she is a strong advocate and I couldn’t be in better hands. During the most difficult time of my life, I felt security and peace of mind because Vanessa was handling my case with such delicacy and care. Vanessa always answered or called back immediately and I appreciated that so much because I sometimes found myself in very stressful situations and I didn’t know what to do. Her council and advise helped keep my child and I safe and calm as she took us by the hand through the process. She helped set up child visitation schedules before we had our court date for the child custody which was extremely helpful. From filing child support to spousal support and all the paperwork involved in the divorce she handled it all and always asked me for my feedback before she moved forward. I am forever grateful for all the work Vanessa has done for me. Thank you Vanessa, it was a pleasure working with you. You are the best!
