She understands the details of legal procedures and the emotional challenges her clients face.

Before establishing her own practice, she worked as an associate in criminal defense from 1999 to 2000. This role provided her with valuable courtroom experience and a solid foundation in legal defense strategies, further enriching her skill set in family law. Jacqueline is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Dade County Bar Association and the Cuban American Bar Association, among others. Her involvement in these organizations not only enhances her professional network but also keeps her informed about the latest developments in the legal field. Additionally, she is a certified Real Estate Associate and a title agent with the Lawyer's Title Insurance Fund, Inc., which complements her practice in real estate law.
