Those individuals caught the standout attorney during one of her breaks. Vasquez shared, “… She stopped me, and she made me cry because she said, ‘I took my daughter out of school, it was important enough because I wanted her to meet you.'”

She said the mother added, “There aren’t role models for her — young, female, Hispanic role models — for her to look up to and you’ve been that for her, so thank you.”

Vasquez said she was “really touched by that” and offered, “I don’t know how it happened … other than I was just doing my job.”

Notably, she said in a different interview that her tactic for winning was using Heard’s words against her. Whatever her method for victory, she was promoted to firm partner following the legal win.
