Having the right attorney at your side makes all the difference.

I am truly thankful that I found Raquel Vellejo to handle my childsupport case, from the first meeting she made me feel at ease, by explaining the process. I could easily understand her, she is amazing at her job, she's very thorough and so intelligent in the way she writes and speaks. I didn't have... to wait days for her to get back to me. For my court hearing she was beyond great! I would recommend her legal service to any person looking for representation in a family matter " It's a plus that she speak fluent Spanish!

Exceptional attorney

I recently had the privilege of working with Raquel Vallejo, a remarkable family law attorney, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with her services. Throughout our two plus year journey together, Ms. Vallejo proved to be a tenacious and strategic advocate, surpassing all expectation...s with her unwavering determination to secure the best possible outcome for me and my family. From the moment we first met, Ms. Vallejo’s untiring resolve was evident. She fearlessly embraced the challenges presented by our complex case. Ms. Vallejo expertly combined her sharp legal acumen with a gritty determination that inspired confidence and trust from the very beginning. Her ability to analyze the nuances of our case helped identify key opportunities and potential obstacles which she overcame by developing a meticulous and highly effective strategy that left no room for uncertainty. Communication was always direct, transparent, and results-oriented. In addition to her gritty and strategic approach, Ms. Vallejo displayed a deep empathy for the emotional impact that family legal matters can have. She showed an exceptional ability to connect with me and my family on a personal level, providing support and understanding throughout the process. Ms. Vallejo genuinely cared about our well-being and fought tirelessly to protect our interests. Thanks to Ms. Vallejo's exceptional abilities, we achieved an outcome that surpassed our highest expectations. If you are seeking a family law attorney who will leave no stone unturned when fighting your case, I enthusiastically endorse Raquel Vallejo.

3 thumbs up!

I absolutely recommend her attorney services! I'm beyond grateful and so appreciative for her professionalism. Raquel was the best attorney for my case. She consistently shows she truly cares about her clients, meticulously hears, understands and unwaveringly fights for her client's best interests.

If I could, I'd give three thumbs way up! I Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Highly recommend

Hiring an attorney is scary as you never know if they will be a right fit. I cannot be more grateful for finding Raquel. If you’re looking for an honest, no nonsense, tough, professional and sympathetic human Raquel is definitely it. She was honest from the beginning about how difficult the divorce p...rocess would be. She guided me through every step of the way. She fought for me when I didn’t think I had the will to fight. Raquel is highly recommend as a professional, tough but positive attorney who will provide you results!

FIVE STARS

I recently hired Ms. Vallejo to represent me in my divorce. Without a doubt, hiring her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Her guidance was invaluable! She was incredibly sensitive and understanding of my emotional crisis, yet simultaneously, she kept me on point and focused on the matte...r at hand. I cannot possibly thank her enough--she is incredible!
