A 79 year old family member who is a disabled Veteran has received amazing and very kind service from Ms. Prieto in a very complicated and wicked Divorce. It has not been easy but she has always been kind to him. I am a Veteran myself and it warms my heart to see the way Ms. Prieto has acted and responded to some pretty wicked allegations.

I hired Vanessa two years ago to resolve several extremely contentious post-divorce issues. She was recommended to me by a prior mediator, who said that Vanessa had been a royal pain in her butt whenever she had faced her in the courtroom. The recommendation was spot on; Vanessa has been a fierce force in my corner since that day. She has worked weekends when urgent motions were called for and has executed motions and subpoenas in some cases within the hour! Her ability not only to interpret the law, but to read the judge, opposing counsel, and situations in the courtroom is second to none. She has won motion after motion, and successfully argued for fees to be awarded due to excessive amounts of frivolous litigation. I no longer stress over antics from my ex; I simply call Vanessa. In short, Vanessa has brought peace to my life and an ability to move on after my divorce, which in my mind is worth its weight in gold. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anybody that's dealing with a contentious divorce and a difficult ex; you will not regret hiring this amazing attorney.

I have used Vanessa for various matters concerning contract disputes, contentious issues, etc. She is sharp, dependable, and her scope and knowledge of the law is extensive; for years she has been able to provide sound, well-thought out, and well-reasoned advice for me and my family. I highly recommend.

Vanessa was absolutely incredible! She was the best attorney, advocate, therapist, human being, all the above - I could ever of asked for during my horrendous divorce. She fought for me when she needed to, and kept me calm when I was flying off the handles. My husband was pro se in the beginning and then hired an attorney who had no clue what his doing which I thought was just going to cost me more money when in the end, Vanessa fought hard and we ended up on top. She has an amazing reputation and I was referred to her though a friend of mine who used her a few years ago as well. It was so nice to walk in the courthouse with her and everyone she came in contact with told me that I was in good hands. She only filed necessary motions and did not try and rack up her bill which I was scared of in the beginning. I heard horror stories from other people using other divorce attorneys and was glad that was not my case. I am so thankful for Vanessa and her hard work. If you are looking for someone that will advocate and protect you .. Vanessa Prieto is your attorney!

Vanessa has represented me in different cases over the years, in my divorce and a real estate case. Vanessa is a strong litigator, always prepared and available when I have questions. I was extremely impressed and would definitely call on her again if I needed help.

Vanessa is very professional and to the point. I had another attorney before that said I would loose everything, but she fought for me to the end. We ended up becoming great friends.

I went for consult & immediately sensed a strong kind professional. At that moment I knew she would be the one to help me get through a very difficult time. I had to let go of a prior lawyer. There was so much work for her because to be done since the files she received from my prior lawyer were all in a disarray . She managed to get everything in order and take care of everything which was a lot of work left that was supposedly done.She was on top of everything and was very responsive to questions / Emails I sent her . I am so grateful that I was highly recommended to her and I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs a professional kind lawyer.

Ms. Prieto was there for me during a very difficult time in my life. My husband left me for a younger woman and then tried to take our two kids and dogs with him and his girlfriend to Texas. Ms. Prieto was aggressive in my case and supported me throughout the whole ordeal. Thankful for this wonderful attorney and recommend her to anyone.
