“Vanessa has stood out as being very genuine and caring while helping me with her thorough knowledge of family law through one of the most difficult times in my life during my separation. I spoke to several attorneys prior to meeting her and was not able to find someone who could help our family make this process as painless as possible while keeping in mind what is best for our children. I am eternally grateful!”

— Sara S.

I feel very fortunate to have such a helpful and professional attorney in my corner through this difficult process.”

— Sergio V.

“My ex-husband had filed an Ex-Parte with the courts to insist that our son remain in a particular school district. The following morning, Vanessa walked me thought the entire process. She helped me get to a positive solution in a very challenging situation. I knew my ex would prove to be difficult and I really needed an advocate who would help me stay focused and fight for the best interest of my son. Vanessa created a strategy which was beneficial for both of us.”

“When I was going through my divorce, my friend recommended Vanessa Candelaria. I was going through an emotional and financial crisis. All of the sudden I was faced with raising 3 young children on my own, a house I could not afford, and so much more. Vanessa listened to my story and gave me comfort during a stressful time. She was very professional, yet caring and very sensitive to my situation. I was scared, unsure, unequipped, and uncertain of what the outcome would be for my legal battle, but her knowledge of family law was so impressive, that she put all my unknowns at ease. Although my case has been resolved for some time, she is still available to me for any questions or advice when situations arise. I am forever grateful for Vanessa’s professionalism and friendship.”

— Mariza G.

“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.”

— Valerie F.

“Vanessa Candelaria represented me in my divorce case. She was very professional and truly cared about my case and me as a person. During this difficult time in my life, it was good to know that Vanessa was on my side and did her best to reach a mutual agreement in a timely manner. She always clearly presented all my options along with pros and cons, which helped me making informed decisions. I felt that she made my case a priority and always had time for me. When I first came to her office, I thought that my situation was hopeless, but Vanessa presented the facts in a different light and gave me hope. Vanessa was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and I would recommend her to any of my friends as an excellent attorney!”

“I hired Vanessa in the summer of 2015 to help me through my divorce. She comfortably communicated my ex’s aggressive and unreasonable lawyer. With her help I was able to negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement agreement and complete the divorce out of court. Vanessa earned my respect with her responsiveness, knowledge and compassion. She has my highest recommendation.”

— Nate

“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.”

— Ed

“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.”
