Criminal Defense Attorney

My name is Malcom Rodriguez, and I am originally from Puerto Rico. I have a background on helping students to achieve the goal of becoming bilinguals and better people on a daily basis. I was an ESL teacher in my country for eleven years. I then decided to go to law school understanding I could help people in different areas of their lives if I became an Attorney. Over a year ago, I started working as a Paralegal/Legal Assistant in Vasquez Law Firm, helping and informing, and translating for our clients in the criminal defense and traffic areas. Now, I have achieved my goal of becoming an Attorney and have transitioned in the firm. I feel very proud of serving our clients, and among them, the Hispanic community. As a bilingual Attorney I hope to bring ease of mind to clients who prefer to speak to their Attorney directly in their native language. I will focus in the areas of Traffic and Criminal defense (Misdemeanors) but will also integrate in the area of Workers Compensation. With a great sense of responsibility, hard work, and respect for all I wish to help, counsel, and represent our clients zealously in court.
