Andrea Vacca
FOUNDING ATTORNEY
"I help my clients end their marriages without destroying their families. I get to know my clients, their concerns, and their goals for their future. I then assist them crafting an agreement that will meet those goals.”
Marcos Fernandez
SENIOR ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"I have seen the financial and emotional havoc hotly contested divorces wreak on families and have also seen how non-adversarial and collaborative tactics work to deescalate tensions and help families deal with unwinding their marriage compassionately."
Jamie Baum
ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY
"Many of the clients I work with are going through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Helping them transform adversity into some semblance of relief and seeing them come out on the other side is incredibly rewarding."

How We Help You Move Forward
Collaborative Divorce
We represent you as your attorney. Your spouse has his/her own attorney. Both of you agree not to litigate. As your attorney, our role is to help you get clear on what’s really important to you and be heard—possibly in a way you weren’t heard in your marriage. The goal of collaborative divorce is for both attorneys to move you and your spouse together instead of pulling you apart. A team of professionals (from divorce coaches to financial experts) assist in the process to sort out the emotional, legal and financial matters.
Mediation
As a mediator we work as a neutral third-party, to help you both come to an understanding about the issues that need to be resolved in order to have a durable divorce agreement. As your mediator, we facilitate your discussions but do not give legal advice or make decisions for you. However, we may provide legal information that may help you to resolve your issues. During the process you may each consult with your own attorneys to help you better advocate for yourself during the mediation process and review the final agreement on your behalf.
Pre-Divorce Guidance
Choosing to move forward with a divorce is a complicated choice, and you don’t have to make it alone. Vacca Family Law Group is here to help. With Pre-Divorce Guidance, we give you a divorce roadmap, lay out your best move forward, and show you how to minimize your risks when pursuing divorce. Ready to move forward?
Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are signed prior to the marriage. Couples who are planning to marry often enter into prenuptial agreements that clarify the financial rights and obligations of each spouse in the event of a divorce. Couples can also use prenuptial agreements to determine what rights a spouse will have in the event of the other's death. The most common reasons that people seek to sign prenuptial agreements include protecting assets that they had prior to the marriage.

- Family Law Client
Working with Vacca Family Law Group was a pleasant experience. Maire and Thom are very responsive; most of my emails were replied within 30 minutes. My attorney, Marcos, is friendly, attentive, and professional. With his expertise in the field, he managed to capture my questions accurately and answered them in great details. From beginning to the end, he was always there to help. If you are looking for non-adversarial family law support, Vacca Law is the one to go for.
- Client
Andrea and her team are warm, exceptionally professional and thorough, I’d highly recommend Andrea for any but especially sensitive family legal needs, she will without a doubt keep your best interests and wishes a priority.
- Mediation Consulting Client
Andrea and her team made the difficult process of divorce more manageable and palatable
- Mediation Consulting Client
My partner and I had the good fortune of finding the Vacca group as we were considering a prenup before getting married. We liked that the firm has the soon-to-be husband and wife work collaboratively to create a final agreement, rather than the traditional back and forth route.
We worked with Marcos as our mediator and over the course of a few sessions he explained to us all of the items that went into our final agreement. He posed to us many questions that served as the "homework" for my partner and I to consider. This process really made clear what was important to us and to each other. Believe this is the key differentiator between Vacca's collaborative approach and other more traditional firms.
We highly recommend Marcos and the entire Vacca group if you are looking for clear and thoughtful guidance delivered in a professional, non-judgmental way. Thank you again
