In 2005 Javier then moved westward to Tampa, Florida, joining a local personal injury firm. Javier expanded his practice areas to include: Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Insurance Claims, Workers Compensation and Sinkhole Claims. In 2009 Mr. Vazquez opened his own law practice focusing equally on personal injury, general civil litigation and transactional law. After 3 successful years, Javier merged his practice with a large Tampa personal injury law firm where he served as their Managing Attorney for 6 years. In 2017 Mr. Vazquez joined the personal injury law firm of Lorenzo & Lorenzo, P.A., as Director of their litigation department.
Over the course of his legal career, Mr. Vazquez has been involved in multi-million dollar real estate and business transactions and has also been involved with several million dollar personal injury recoveries.
