Meet Vanessa
As the Principal Attorney at The Blackwood Firm, I use the legal skills that I have honed over my many years of practice to help those who need it most. Whether you are a family caught in the midst of conflict, those seeking to establish a new life in the United States through filing for an immigration benefit, or someone struggling to find the answer to a legal dilemma in your business, I am here to help resolve all your legal issues with a client-centered approach.
Born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica, it was a lifelong goal of mine to become a lawyer. I was inspired by the countless hours of Matlock that I watched with my grandfather as a child. I was also inspired by how my grandmother continuously aided those in our community. These two formative experiences led me to found Blackwood Firm - a place where competence and compassion combine to assist our clients in obtaining the best resolution to their legal issues. Being the founding attorney at The Blackwood Firm is far more than just a job for me, it is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream and a privilege that I cherish.
During her free time, Vanessa loves to cook, craft, do CrossFit and yoga, and spend time with her family.
