I see that Kristine Demo-Vazquez is running for Family Court judge once again. Her tagline reads…read more"It is so important that we elect Judges that understand the complexities of the Family Court system." I absolutely 100% agree with this statement. Unfortunately, Kristine is NOT someone you should put your trust or faith to do that. What qualities does one expect from a family court judge? Integrity, trustworthy, honesty, reliable, hard working to name but a few. Just over 10 years ago, a divorce was handed to Kristine's client, my wife. She was freely appointed as she had no money because the man from the other side of the table took everything. Turning to Kristine she simply asked her for legal advice as anyone would have. She was still shell shocked by this whole ordeal as most people would be. Kristine simply said "It looks fine." That's it folks. Is it 5 years of law school that got her to this point I wonder? Could you possibly imagine signing ANY legal, binding contract without first reviewing it let alone that this was prepared by your ex-partner, no questions asked. My wife suffered no forms of physical DV at his hands. But there are many other ways this narcissistic bar stuard (pardon my french) abused her. This "separation agreement" was appalling. You would think in most cases, divorces rightly or wrongly amount to 50/50. That's kinda the whole point. He got 100% of what he asked for and Kristine's stand on this was I don't want to be here so you should sign this. My wife was petrified he was going to take her children away so did as Kristine "advised" her This was from the same man that famously demanded money to pay his baby sitter that would no longer be needed in order for us to have the children for an afternoon on his time for a family party. His plans that afternoon? Taking just his other child from his 2nd marriage out for a meal, leaving his other kids home alone with a sitter! That just gives you an idea just how one-sided anything drafted by this crook would be. It was so bad, had my wife acted upon it sooner, Kristine would have had her own legal battle to contend to as my wife could have sued her! When we needed to tie up the loose ends we ended up paying a competent lawyer. Sure, it did cost a fair amount of money this time round, but I will never forget his reaction to reading the original separation agreement. For the 100's if not 1000's he must have handled one word escaped his mouth... "Unique". He had never seen anything quite like it before. In summary, I see so many sign posts to elect Kristine Demo-Vazquez in a crowded bunch of same party candidates for other elected positions. A family court judge should NOT be a political issue. It's a human rights issue and it really is about the good qualities of the person and not which wing of the same bird she perches on. Those reading this may never require the services of a Family Court Judge. But it is important to imagine how she handled my wife's case that you try and imagine if this was your close friend or family member going through the same experience and maybe you might feel as strongly opposed to this candidate. We will never know how much knowledge she actually has on family law because on this occasion she chose not to offer any. If she turns her back to her own clients, how on earth can you expect this woman's work ethic to handle 1000's of family court battles every year? The starting salary for a Family Court judge is around 200k so you can see where Kristine's motivation truly lies.

But as the days grew closer, I started questioning myself as to if I would be able to win my case alone. I then decided it would be best if I'd hire a lawyer. I came across Leticia's name - along with many other lawyers - , but seen that she did FREE CONSULTATIONS, i called her right away. I met with Leticia on a Friday, told her my situation and let her know my hearing was only a couple days away. After speaking to her for about an hour, she gave me the confidence that everything would be alright and just to stay positive. I knew then, she would be the perfect lawyer for my case. She spent the rest of her Friday evening and her whole weekend reviewing and preparing my case (who would ruin their whole weekend just for me?? Leticia did!). When the hearing day finally came, we walked out of the court room with flying colors. Leticia did a great job, she knew exactly what she was doing and knew exactly what she was saying. Leticia Astacio is the BEST LAWYER EVER!! I would definitely recommend her to EVERYONE I know.

Larry Krieger ROCKS!!!!!!!!!…read more I have certainly been in a precarious position by hiring attorneys who were burned out, the polar opposite of professional, and downright ineffective as legal counsel. I begun to have a negative perception of attorneys in general until I hired Larry Krieger. Larry Krieger, is an amazing attorney, he is the only legal counsel that worked his tail off to see that justice was served for the best interest of my daughter. He exhibited a high level of legal knowledge, professionalism, and execution in his legal delivery. I remember watching him in action in the court room cross examine my adversary with strong legal defenses. He was very efficient in making my legal proceedings a TOP priority on his list even if he had a voluminous case load(due to his popularity among clients) which helped to mollify my stress. His legal assistant Marci is also a gem, together, they worked in concert to prepare a STRONG legal case that enhanced my certitude in feeling that justice would be served, and it prevailed. When a client such as myself is going through stress, the most important thing you need is a strong legal team to add that extra confidence and security before you step in the court room and fight for your legal rights. The level of professionalism Larry exuded in the court room still makes me smile till this day. Thank you Larry for being a REAL attorney and truly working in the best interest of your client(s)! Best, Richard Myles
