I believe that people typically contact attorneys and mediators because they are involved in conflicts and disputes and are seeking help solving them. The beginning impacts the end. The "beginning," in this regard, is not that which led to your current situation; rather, it is the "beginning" of how you choose to handle your conflicts and disputes. Your first moves and decisions greatly impact whether the level of conflict increases or decreases, among many other things. I assist people in bridging the gap between them, regardless of the size. I help de-escalate conflicts and facilitate problem-solving. As angry as you may be, keep in mind that fighting and "winning" don't solve problems and that mediators, peacemakers and bridge builders are not needed in times of peace and absence of conflict. Working together, people understand each other's perspectives and reach agreements quickly and efficiently, saving time, money and stress. Rather than merely helping broker a deal, I strive to facilitate mutually acceptable, achievable and durable solutions to problems that take into account the interests and needs of all involved. Before completing college, I had several experiences with different fields of our legal system. On each occasion, I failed to see how anyone could refer to it as a "justice system" with a straight face. When I decided to apply to law school, I never intended on practicing law. Instead, I thought that if I better understood the law and the inner workings of our legal system, I could use my knowledge to help steer people away from getting involved with the system in the first place. Had I known about mediation then, there's no question I would have pursued a career in mediation at that time. My background and life experiences led me to pursue a career in mediation and motivate me to spend the time I spend doing the research and writing I do, using the social media, and otherwise trying to constantly gain more knowledge and improve my skills, while also working tirelessly to try and educate people about the realities of our legal system and the available alternatives. Thomas Trent Lewis, Supervising Judge for the Los Angeles County Family Law Division, has said the following: (1) "Family Court is supposed to be a last resort for family resolution;" (2) "Parental education on the effects upon children in the midst of a family law dispute advances the goal of 'mediate when you can, and litigate only when you must;'" and (3) "When personal safety is not at issue or compromised, mediated and collaborative negotiated resolution of disputes can achieve favorable and more durable outcomes for parents and children." "Mediation" requires a "mediator." Lawyer to lawyer negotiation is not "mediation" because it doesn't involve a "mediator."

I am a Collaborative Divorce and Estate Planning Attorney, a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator since 2010, a Certified County Court Mediator, Parenting Coordinator, Founder of Vazquez Law, PLLC and Mediate4Peace, LLC. My office is located in Doral, Florida.. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Florida International University and a Master in Business Administration from Barry University, I went on to law school and obtained my Juris Doctor from St. Thomas University School of Law, with a Certificate in Elder Law.. My practice is limited to non-adversarial and solution based methods, such as pro-se, pre-suit mediation, private family mediation, court-ordered family mediation and the collaborative process, which includes estate planning during and after divorce.. I truly understand that family litigation can be difficult and a costly event to families because I personally endured a highly conflictive, expensive, litigious 7-year divorce. As a collaborative attorney, I work closely with a team of collaboratively trained professionals to minimize conflict, resolve family issues amicably, and protect the children from emotional harm. Generally, I put estate planning protections in place, such as an Advance Health Care Directive, during the divorce. This is the legal document that provides you with the opportunity to name a trusted person to make health care decisions for you in case you can’t. After the divorce process is completed, I then educate families on different planning options so that they can make the best, informed decisions in designing a thorough and comprehensive estate plan that will work for them and their loved ones.. I am living proof that there is light at the end of the tunnel after divorce. I am determined to make the process for families far easier than what it was for me. One of the ways I accomplish this is by applying my P.E.A.C.E. resolution approach, which clients really do appreciate.. P for Peaceful.. E for Empower.. A for Amicable.. C for Cost-Effective.. E for Everything Else.. On a personal level, I am a native Floridian of Cuban descent, and a dedicated mother to my beautiful children.. I am fluent in Spanish.
