Collaborative Divorce
A cooperative, team-based approach focused on supportive, respectful, and private resolutions.
Andrea Vacca, Founding Attorney
Collaborative Legal Support That Centers Your Family and Future
I’m Andrea, and I believe family law matters don’t have to tear families apart. Whether you’re ending a relationship or planning ahead with a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, my goal is to help you navigate this transition with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
All the things I believe led me to create this law firm and continue to grow it with a total commitment to helping our clients resolve their matters outside of court—so you can move forward with dignity and peace of mind.
Guiding Clients with Experience and Empathy
I support clients through divorce, co-parenting, and prenuptial or postnuptial agreements with a focus on preserving relationships, reducing conflict, and making thoughtful, forward-looking decisions. My role is to help you stay grounded, understand your options, and move through the process with clarity and confidence.
I began my career as a traditional divorce litigator and saw how harmful—and often avoidable—court battles can be. That, along with the lasting impact of my own parents’ high-conflict divorce, led me to focus exclusively on non-adversarial approaches that prioritize clarity, stability, and well-being.
I earned my J.D. from Albany Law School and a B.A. in Journalism from SUNY Buffalo. My interest in how people navigate change later led me to study Positive Psychology, earning a certification in 2013 and a coaching certification in 2024. Through this training, I help my clients reframe their challenges, clarify their goals, and stay focused on what truly matters as they plan for the future.
