Vanessa and her team are wonderful. They were compassionate, thoughtful and really made a very difficult situation more feasible. I cannot recommend them enough. Advice I give to Vanessa's clients....LISTEN TO HER, she really knows what she is talking about and CA law inside and out.

I was very impressed with Vanessa beginning with the initial consultation. She listened carefully and asked all of the right questions in order to get an accurate assessment of my situation and also offered valuable guidance for the short term. Later, Vanessa was relentless in keeping my case moving forward despite unexpected events and challenges. She exceeded my expectations by getting the divorce finalized several months before I thought possible. In addition, I found her law practice to be very well-organized and efficiently run with the assistance of her professional staff paralegals, Kerri and Kaitlin. My experience over the course of working with Vanessa is that she is a skillful negotiator with a unique ability to maintain a collaborative spirit between opposing parties. She has excellent judgment and intuition and she calmly focuses on resolution rather than escalating conflict. Vanessa is dynamic in the courtroom because she is articulate, well prepared, and results-oriented. I highly recommend Vanessa and plan to consult her for any future legal needs.

My cousin had an issue with an ex-spouse that needed to be dealt with promptly and Vanessa was extremely knowledgeable/responsive, laid out all of the options with pros and cons for each, and tenaciously fought on my cousin's behalf! As a lawyer myself, I am thankful we were able to find such a skilled attorney to handle! Vanessa is amazing!

Vanessa did a great job supporting me through my divorce and troubleshooting several different issues. I really appreciated her help, especially in a non-amicable separation. I would highly recommend Vanessa. She was very knowledgeable and had great ideas.

Vanessa is an incredible lawyer who knows just exactly what her client needs. I was in a very dark place, lost, and wanted to get help especially not knowing how to handle or where to even start with divorce. She made sure I understood everything clearly and has helped me with my divorce proceeding in a timely manner. She is very quick with responses and finds the best solution. I was very satisfied and content with her service and would highly recommend her. She also has a great team behind her who are just as skilled and knowledgeable. Her paralegals would also keep up to date with you to make sure you are up to date. I am very lucky and happy to have her as my lawyer. You won't be disappointed. What a great firm!!

The whole idea of getting a divorce was overwhelming. Vanessa helped me throughout the whole process, from helping me fill out all the loads of confusing paperwork to giving me the confidence to negotiate a fair agreement between me and my ex. Her staff, Kerri and Kaitlin, also were extremely helpful and very responsive to emails and any questions I had. I will be forever grateful to them for helping me through this tough time.

Vanessa did a phenomenal job representing me in my my prenup agreement. She was very thorough and explained everything in plain English. She fought and pushed hard to protect my interests, well-being, and assets and thought of the many unforeseen situations that life could bring in the future. I will seek her help again in the future for any other legal matters.

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.

I'm so thankful for Vanessa and her staff. I was very anxious about starting the process of gaining full legal and physical custody of my daughters. Once I met with Vanessa, she put my mind at ease and I knew that I found the right attorney to work with. She took the time to sit down and listen to me, and explained what the process would entail and all of the possible options. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field. Once my case started, she and her staff were very good at keeping me updated. Whenever I had a question, they were answered promptly and in a way that I could easily understand. I would definitely recommend Vanessa to anyone who is looking for a positive and wonderful experience.

Vanessa from the very beginning of my case has been a very warm and caring help. I wouldn't have asked for anything different. She has been a great listener, a great writer of agreements & orders, on point, well spoken, and she responds quickly to my needs. These kind of family matters are not easy to navigate on your own. But with Vanessa on my team she has shown much needed direction & compassion while handling all the details professionally. I would recommend her highly to anyone going through such a hardship in their family.

Vanessa made a great deal with my ex husband, one we both agreed to. Saving me money by not having to go to court. She was so nice explaining every step. And her helper Kerri is always there to help.

As everyone who has gone through it can attest, divorce is typically a very long, complicated and overwhelming process. After more than 2 years of attempting to complete my divorce on my own and not getting anywhere, I was fortunate enough to find Vanessa Candelaria. Her professionalism and expertise has made a huge difference in moving towards finalizing my divorce quickly. And best of all, she has been instrumental in helping me achieve all of my requested custody adjustments. Thanks to her, I will finally have a workable and ideal custody agreement and much more quality time with my two children. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate than Vanessa. If you are feeling overwhelmed and alone in your divorce proceedings, do yourself a favor and hire Vanessa to get you through it all with the best results possible. Thanks again Vanessa!
