I just had a consultation to get an idea of what my case would be like, if I had one and I were to move forward with my decision. She explained everything to me with a lot of detail and explained what the worse case scenario would be, what to expect in court and what I needed to move forward with thecase. I’m very thankful I decided to consult with her before I took matters into my own hands. If in a near future I were to go forward And push forward with my case I would highly recommend her.

Vanessa was very professional. She listened attentively and gave the best legal advice. She understood my situation and respected my decision.

Hi. Vanessa has represented me for about two years and I could not be happier with her service / counseling / support and why not... with our growing friendship. I am a physician, but I had just finished my residency and money was a big struggle when I first hired Vanessa. However, my children'swell-being was a cause worth fighting for and investing my time, energy and limited resources. I read about Vanessa right here, at Avvo. Having had a good share of legal fiascos with previous "highly recommended" lawyers that only put me way deeper in debt with not real results, I was skeptical and afraid as my decision at the time was time sensitive and had no margin for error. I am glad I decided to hire Vanessa. She was considerate and very reasonable with legal fees and truly I felt she treated my case with the heart of a mother/father and advocated for my children as she would have done for her own children. She mounted a surprising case (at least to me) and recommended steps that no other lawyer had mentioned to me before and time proved to be the right strategy. Vanessa got my WHOLE case resolved in less than a year and pretty much I got every item I was hoping I could offer to my children such as: equal time share (50/50) with both parents, consistent and well structured time schedule, attendance to best possible school, common sense and fair things such as place for pick up/drop off, among other things. Vanessa was against an experienced and thought lawyer... and she shined. I must tell you that I did my homework and had everything ready at every step, saved emails, receipts, text conversation, etc... I did this over a period of time and I'd advise you do your work as well. Finally, after many years of back and forth visits to court, my case was resolved... and the legal cost at the end was not significantly different from our first calculations. I imagine every case is different, but Vanessa really try to help client's cost by deferring much of routine interaction to her secretary and/or paralegal which were both really nice, courteous and very professional and cost a fraction of a lawyer's fee. Even better and unexpected news... I believe Vanessa (maybe indirectly, too complicated to explain here) also helped to improve my relationship with my ex which has been a blessing. My kids' mom and I just celebrated our son's birthday party together for the first time and it was a blast. I am very thankful to Vanessa for what she has done for me, my children and my family. Note: I usually do not write reviews, mostly due to lack for free time, but this review is truly important to me. It is a way to show gratitude to my lawyer and equally important possibly help someone desperate for help (as I was) to make the right decision. I believe Vanessa has her heart in the right place, something difficult to find nowadays. Best wishes!!!

Her firm help me with my child custody case and child support. I can not be happier with the results she was able to get. The outcome was better than expected. Her office staff is courteous and very helpful. Thank you

Ms Vasquez was instrumental in achieving a judgement in my favor against my ex husband. It was a complicated case that required a strong collaboration. She was able to achieve results through her excellent analysis of the taxes and complicated documentation. She delivered in the court room as well. Iwould recommend Ms Vasquez unconditionally. She is true professional

Attorney Vasquez came highly recommended to me from a good friend. I took his advice and hired her. She represented me in my divorce case. I must admit, I'm glad I took my friends advice. Everything she said she would do, she did. Communication was excellent. Never was there a time in which I could not contact and speak directly with her or Barbera. To know that you have someone in your corner that has your best interest in the forefront says it all. Patrick

Not enough words to express my gratitude for Vanessa and her firm. They are very knowledgeable and make you feel like your part of the family!

I found Vanessa while undertaking an emotionally difficult child custody case. Being a Father seeking full custody is no easy task, I was very insecure and afraid until our first meeting. Vanessa is highly knowledgeable, returns phone calls and e-mails promptly (immediately most of the time), knows the court system inside and out. She also gives great advice when you are unsure. Going to court can be a very nerve-racking experience, but Vanessa and her team makes the process so much easier. Her courtroom presence is very confident, professional and strong. I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend you chose her as your attorney!

As the Personal Representative of my aunt's Florida estate, the beneficiary's in Canada needed a lawyer. The first one, Paul Cowan of Golden and Cowan was an absolute disaster and in our view should be disbarred for misleading us, among other things. We wrote to the Florida authorities overseeinglawyers; despite all the evidence of Cowan's misrepresentations, even to their inquiry, they sided with this terrible lawyer. Then mercifully we found Vanessa and thanks to her the mess that Cowan left us in was rapidly resolved and for a pittance compared to what Cowan charged. However, Cowan was not done, when it was time for the Court to sign off on the estate so it could be closed, this sicko Cowan demanded thousands of dollars for his 'time and effort', even though this time and effort was spent on misrepresenting himself to us and to the authorities. Vanessa is a gem in a world of dirt bags apparently protected by the very authorities who are supposed to discipline lawyers like Cowan. We would always seek her services if we ever needed assistance in Florida and we HIGHLY recommend that you work with Vanessa Vasquez de Lana anytime you need cost-effective and ethical help.

Vanessa is a fantastic attorney. I had heard that she was the finest family lawyer in Miami but after using her services I was sure of it myself. To the point, very professional and able to get the results I desired when I brought my personal dilemma to her attention. If you have a legal matter to attend to that requires child custody, divorce and separation, and/or probate legal representation Vanessa is the lawyer you should be choosing. Thank you Vanessa for your excellent work.

Vanessa is a top notch lawyer with a strong knowledge of family law. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, she’s a professional, honest and on top of her case. I was impressed how quickly she gets back to you and keeping you informed at all times. Her experience is obvious and demonstrated, as she gets the job done proficiently and does not let anything fall through the cracks. A+++ for this super lawyer!

Vanessa is an excellent attorney, which I would highly recommend. Well versed in family law, knows the ins and outs of the system. Professional, not confrontational. Provided excellent counsel and advice, in order to provide a positive result for me. I got exactly what I was seeking in my case. Excellent support staff as well.
