The Law Offices Of Kristine M. Demo-Vazquez, P.C.

She could possibly be the best attorney in all of NY, but I wouldn't know if she was. I contacted Ms. Demo-Vazquez regarding my child custody case, met with her and gave her a lot of the physical copies of my case documents in June, 2021. I contacted her by text the next day, giving her an update on something we discussed and I never heard back from her. I never heard from her again until three months later. I messaged her in September, asking for arrangements to be made for the return of my documents. "Hello, this is Kaley [redacted]. We had a meeting at the end of June to discuss the possibility of hiring you to be the lawyer in my case to regain custody of my five year-old son, [redacted]. I am sorry you don't think we are a good fit, I understand these things happen. I was hoping you might be able to return the court documents I left at your office for review. Please let me know when this could be arranged. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response." I finally received a response five days later: "Hi Kaley, I hadn't heard from you so I assumed you found another attorney. Do you want to pick up the documents? You can do that at your convenience. My secretary is in the office form 9 am to 4:30 pm daily. If you'd prefer, I can email them or put them in the mail to you. Thanks!" My response: "No, I have not found another eternity [attorney] yet. I sent you a few messages after our meeting but never received any replies so I had assumed you you were not interested in taking my case. I would rather pick up the originals from you, but it would have to be on a Wednesday....." I understand if she didn't want to take my case on, it was unfortunately extremely complicated and messy, but to try and blame it on me? Very unprofessional, if you ask me. Especially when I was the only one to try and make contact after our initial meeting. Left a very bad impression.

Kristine was recently the attorney for my Fiancés child. My soon- to- be step daughter whom we adore. She has condoned our child being in an unsafe environment. Supporting and standing behind manipulative, destructive, and traumatizing behavior. Apparently having proven facts behind physical abuse in the child’s environment- is not enough for the representative of a defenseless four year old. It is sickening to think that Kristine spent 40 minutes within 10 months with our child. As if she knows the child, the child’s actual living situations, RELATIONSHIPS, school, doctors, etc. She was lucky enough to knows my step daughters infectious smile. And nothing more. Or rather, omit all that she DOES know. I wouldn’t ask Kristine to represent my child. I wouldn’t even ask Kristine to represent a child’s baby doll. Elect her for nothing and pay someone that will do what is morally right for a child’s well being.

Sadly zero stars isn’t an option. This lady is running for judge?! She was the attorney for my child recently. She spent a total of 40 minutes with my child on two separate occasions over the course of 10 months. And yet somehow in the 40 minutes she spent with my child she thinks she knows what my child’s best interest is. My child is still stuck in a toxic environment because this attorney thinks she knows more about my child’s best interest in 40 minutes than I as a parent do over the course of thousands of hours spent with my own child.

CONGRATULATIONS MONROE COUNTY! You have chosen to remove a family court judge with 20+ years of family court judge experience and to replace her with a work-shy attorney! (They were from the same political party too!) If you read up reviews or speak to anyone who has had experience in Family Court or custody situation one of the most brought up conversations you will hear is "fathers rights not being treated fairly". You have just elected a single mom into a position of power! Not all cops are bad cops. But we've seen the dire consequences when you put a bent cop in power. So if have a son/brother/nephew with an existing Custody Order? Good luck on them fighting their case in front of this person. Call me old fashioned, but it might, just MIGHT have been a better option to have someone who has their own baggage in order so that they will not let their own bias get in the way as they handle 1000s of custody cases. 10+ years ago my wife asked her for legal advice when you represented her on the separation agreement her ex drafted. "It looks fine. You don't expect not to work do you?" That wasn't what she asked you. She wanted legal council just to reassure her so that what she was about to sign was fair. Finding out after the fact that we could have sued you for mis-representation because of just how poor a job you did, yes you really do #putfamiliesfirst... Her narcissistic ex unashamedly made her accept financial responsibility for ALL martial debt. And this crook of a lawyer did nothing. For the record if you'd have taken any bit of notice to have done your job her ex was threatening and intimidating and rusher her to sign this paperwork or else he would take the kids away and she would never see them again. Also wife #2 in the wings was of course pregnant! and he had already proposed to her BEFORE the divorce was finalized so was probably getting his Holy Christian panties in a twist! You turned your back on your OWN client who was going through an incredible stressful time and was being intimidated by her controlling and manipulative ex who quite happily used his own children as weapons. Her ex's attorney must have grinned from ear to ear once he found out you were the opposing attorney knowing full well they could give their client exactly what he asked for. Your incompetence will never be forgiven and I feel bad that so many more people at Monroe County will go through this too. When I saw that you were still an attorney last year I was genuinely shocked that you were still in this profession quite honestly. But I guess cowboy builders are still a thing, so why not attorneys? When I saw you was running for Family Court Judge not once, but twice I was speechless. Are you. Freaking kidding me? It's like a really sick joke. On the list of attorneys whom sometimes get sometimes offered the position of Family Court Judge (like the candidate that finished well ahead of you and deservedly so) I wonder where your name was on that list? No where I bet I wonder why? You will read the reviews about her that when she was appointed Attorney for the Child in custody matters and she spent less than 30 seconds actually speaking to the child and that doesn't surprise me in the least. Her precious time is too valuable to waste on children's well being. The thing is, her appointment will have zero impact on my wife's situation. Her kids have aged out. But the pain and suffering this one woman did will spread for others to see and will know exactly what I have been talking about actually makes me physically sick to the stomach. For those people that put up her lawn signs. And for those that actively choosing to elect an attorney whom is so uninterested in family court law over someone with 20+ of service from the exact same political party. Shame on you. When you or someone you care about deeply find themselves unexpectedly in family court and you find yourself up against this Judge. Karma, it's coming your way.

I had the greatest experience with Kristine going through a hard time in my divorce. From the get go, I was extremely comfortable and felt 100% confident in her ability to help me from my consultation to the end. She was very responsible in price. And would work with my schedule every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable in many (if not all) aspects. I wish I could use her expertise in all my other attorney needs. From here on, I consider her a very close friend. My advice to you is, give her call and meet with her. You won’t regret it.
