Testimonials

My 17-year marriage crumbled in the middle of graduate school, and it got nasty fast. I needed all hands on deck to manage a nightmare while pursuing a dream.

I found that team at Vacca with Marcos, Jamie, and their incredible people (Maire, Thom, Jacqui). Marcos helped me sift through the mire with compassion, real talk, and eagle eyes.

If that ain't divorce in a nutshell, baby. When it came time to sign the papers, I knew I'd gone the distance!

My fiancé and I worked with Marcos on a mediated prenup. The entire team at the firm was of great assistance. We were provided referrals for our consulting attorneys and a check list to work through on our own in between calls with Marcos. The process, although naturally overwhelming, was made as easy as I could imagine with the guidance provided. As this being both my partner and I's first marriage, we did not have a full grasp of the legal implications of getting married. Marcos did a wonderful job explaining the default law and helping us find the areas where my fiancé and I wanted to customize our terms in the case of separation. Our prenup took about 3.5 months from initial consultation to signing. From what I found online, this seems to be pretty typical for a mediated prenup. We gave ourselves about 5 months to get it done and I am so glad we did not rush ourselves.

Vacca provided a free consultation where Marcos and team offered guidance and resources for my partner and I to make the best decision for us before engaging in the process. I would recommend scheduling a consultation if you are seeking prenup services. Even if you don't end up working with Vacca, they will do a wonderful job pointing you in the right direction.

I am so grateful to have been referred to Vacca Family Law Group. I recently worked with Andrea and Marcos on a prenuptial agreement and am very pleased with the outcome and the process. As someone who knew very little about the intricacies of prenups going in, I was overwhelmed. However the team at Vacca guided me through the process with patience and expertise. They did their best to ensure that I fully understood what I was agreeing to and helped empower me to make informed decisions about my future. Throughout the process I truly felt like Andrea and Marcos had my best interest at heart. They were attentive, responsive and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Days before my wedding we executed the agreement and the process concluded with me feeling very confident. I highly recommend Vacca Family Law Group to anyone in need of legal assistance.

- Prenuptial Agreement 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

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.

Andrea and her team were incredibly helpful and extremely kind and professional in navigating what is typically considered a difficult and complicated legal process. While going through the divorce proceedings they were thorough and efficient in explaining the process, why certain protections were important for me to consider, and they took a long view of my needs while providing guidance with a lot of empathy and a personal touch. Not only did they pay attention to where my proceedings stood and paid close attention to details and timing, during covid when the courts were shut down, but proactively kept me posted on how things were progressing. Really loved working with Vacca Family Law Group.

- Estate Planning Attorney

I am the president of Heron Wealth, serving executive families in New York City and the surrounding area. For years, I have sent my clients to Vacca Family Law Group for pre-nuptial work, and for divorce mediation when that service becomes necessary.

So when I married recently myself, I went straight to Andrea Vacca to represent my interests in preparing our prenuptial agreement. It was a second marriage for both parties, so details were a little complicated, but Andrea did a great job of interviewing me to get all the information, and then working in a friendly and collegial manner with my fiancée's attorney to draft and finalize our agreement. The whole process took two months start to finish, and was signed and notarized over Zoom.

Professional and responsive!

- Wealth Advisor

I have been working with Andrea Vacca and Rhett, and I am impressed with their knowledge on New York divorce law and options on how to negotiate a divorce with dignity and privacy. All my interactions with Vacca Law have been extremely professional.

He was knowledgeable of all the specific law and was able to explain them in a succinct and clear manner which made the process that much easier. I truly felt like I was in great hands working with Mr. Fernandez.

They spoke the truth and made sure I was aware of every details, and every single step on the process. I was very lucky to have found them, and I recommend their services.

- Prenuptial Agreement Client

Ms. Vacca was exceedingly reliable and thorough in her analysis of my divorce situation; so much so that her acumen saved me upwards of $25,000.00. More specifically, my wife's attorney had miscalculated the amount owed to me from the sale of a jointly owned apartment: Ms. Vacca caught the error and I was 'saved.'

- Psychotherapist

My experience with VFLG couldn't have been better. Andrea and team were recommended to me after a really messy, negative experience with another firm. Marcos handled our agreement,  and I found him extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who asks in the future.

- Postnuptial Agreement Client

This was one of the most difficult times of my life and I was afraid I would have a horrible experience like other friends. A co-worker thankfully recommended me to Andrea! Working with Andrea to handle my divorce collaboratively was the best decision. She understood what was important to me and what my needs were, educated me about the law and guided me through the entire process. Andrea was sensitive and responsive. She has such a nice way about her that she even managed to keep my overbearing ex in line. Though my divorce did take longer than I thought it would, I now understand it's a process and we ended up with a settlement that works for me. Andrea - I couldn't have done it without you!

- Collaborative Divorce Client

Vacca Family Law is well respected and known for their quality, professional service. Their team is amazing and will take good care of you.

- Trusts & Estates Attorney

Was struggling with getting my divorce done, until I ran into Andrea Vacca. It  wasn't the happiest of times for me, but Andrea was great. She is pleasant to deal with and she just took care of it. Besides having a few calls, I only saw her one more time and that was to pick up the documents to sign. I went over, signed and that was it. I would very much recommend Vacca Family Law to others.

- Collaborative Divorce Client

Andrea and her team have provided some of my clients with expert guidance and for many years. Divorce is a major transition that must embrace a 360 systems approach---family, emotions , finances and of course the legal and the practical implications a divorce. The Vacca Family Law Group always approaches mediation through this 360 lense with care, legal expertise, collaboration and responsiveness. I highly recommend them!

- Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Andrea, Rhett, and Eve are an amazing crew that practices family law with compassion, integrity, and professionalism.
They are thorough, responsive, and addressed all my questions and concerns as well as brought up issues I hadn't even considered in my case. They are also willing to go the extra mile for clients, I had some time constraints and wanted to move quickly and the team was very sensitive to meeting those deadlines.
I highly recommend the full team especially if you are looking for level-headed, considerate, fair, and professional guidance on your case.

- Client

Andrea is a colleague I am always happy to work with. We share a mutual commitment to the collaborative process, and therefore a desire to ensure a deep lasting peace between our clients. She is smart and creative, as well as a lovely person.

- Collaborative Divorce Attorney

I was referred to Andrea by a colleague of my mother's. I retained her after having to get rid of bad attorney. She was very professional, responded to all of my e-mails, returned my phone-calls, assisted me with resolutions and guided me through a dragged out divorce. My ex and I became amicable and ended on a bittersweet note with both parties ending off better than we started. Andrea listened, explained every process, answered all of my questions, and eased my anxiety. If you're looking for guidance, solutions, and answers this attorney is will provide that and much more.

- Mediation Consulting Client

Andrea and her entire team were able to create a safe and productive environment during a time when that was exactly what I needed, but last expected. Now 3 years later, my ex-husband and I are able to communicate openly and honestly in regards to our son which was my main concern during the divorce process. I really couldn't have planned it any better.

- Mediation Consulting Client

I hired Andrea Vacca for a family matter - and am I glad I did. From the first call to meetings and follow-up emails/calls she patiently listened to my needs, provided helpful advice that I felt free to take or reject, and she made it very clear what interests were at stake each time. She always responded to my emails quickly and when she did, she was ready with the info or advice I asked without a need for further back-and-forth. She was kind yet strong when it came to representing my interests. As a lawyer myself - having worked with hundreds of lawyers - this combination of attributes is something I do not take for granted. I approached Andrea based on recommendations from several others who said she was the best -- so I was ready to pay the price. When the bill came, though, I was pleased with how efficiently she had used her time. She hadn't overcharged a minute and there were no surprises. I couldn't recommend Andrea highly enough.

- Client

Did such an amazing job providing mediation for my fiancé and I, making us feel both represented and cared for, while avoiding potential hostile pitfalls of getting a lawyer each. The experience felt transparent and smooth. The entire team is kind, compassionate and professional. Would work with them again in a heartbeat.

- Prenuptial Agreement Mediation Client

I can only recommend Marcos and Andrea from the Vacca Group. It was incredible working with you. Thank you for the support.

- Legal Consulting Client

I am, of course, very pleased with my experience with you and your team. With all my conflicting and confused feelings around the process, I often had felt like being blind and guided and protected by you. Divorce is for me something very private and the most painful (albeit unavoidable) part of the experience was how "exposed and vulnerable" my private life was when we (sometimes six of us!) had to discuss and analyze it in order to negotiate the best possible outcomes. I am always more than willing to suggest working with you and your team on a more friendly, collaborative way to separate what were once closely bonded lives.

- Collaborative Divorce Client

Andrea and her team – for me, Marcos and Maire – are exemplary professionals. Through a difficult divorce, their knowledge, guidance, responsiveness and sensitivity provided reassurance, support and ultimately the necessary resolution. I highly recommend Team Vacca.
