DUI and DWI 55%

I approach your case with the sincere belief that you are not guilty. While the evidence produced by the prosecutor may seem overwhelming, I have learned from experience to spot and take advantage of weaknesses in DUI evidence. These include traffic stops or arrests made without cause, improper opinion statements by police, unclear Field Sobriety Test results, and technical mistakes in the operation of the breath test machine (BAC Datamaster).

I have experience ina wide variety of criminal cases, ranging from traffic violations to violent crimes. I have networked with other attorneys to provide a team- like defense in more serious cases, and will work with the client to provide a customized defense strategy no matter the type of case.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Ricardo for my Child Custody case. I had watched him on a prior case of his and felt very comfortable with his approach. I later found out that he is very experienced and knowledgeable in the types of law he practices. He was excellent at trial and truly cares about his clients and their n...eeds. I would use him again in a heartbeat if I needed to. I will also recommend him highly to anyone who needs a family law attorney or any sort of criminal defense.

The best lawyer out there who truly cares

Ethical, compassionate, thorough, experienced representation. I couldn't ask for a better attorney and will refer anyone and everyone I know looking for an attorney in the area. In the midst of the worst time of my life and that of my children, Ricardo felt like a friend who went to bat for me. He li...stened to what I wanted, told me the law and procedures and then made it happen. When it's all over I'm gonna miss the guy. I also had the pleasure of Wendy's company at my trial and she shares the same qualities.

Experienced and knowledgeable.

Ricardo has advised me on several legal matters; most recently a personal injury claim, and I've always found his advice thorough, insightful and helpful. He's extremely easy to talk to, and non-judgemental. I feel he really cares about his clients, and works hard to achieve the best outcome for them.... I'd recommend Ricardo in a heartbeat.

Vazquez law helped me.

Vazquez Law helped me with my divorce filing. Rick was extremely helpful and professional the entire time. He helped make a difficult process easier to understand. He consistently offered to go beyond what I expected. I was extremely pleased with his services.
