Camille Vasquez has shot to fame after successfully defending actor Johnny Depp in his defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. She works as an Associate at Brown Rudnick LLP. As of 2022, Camille Vasquez has a net worth of $2 million.
Early Life
On July 24, 1984, Camille was born in Los Angeles, California. Her parents are Maria and Leonel Vasquez. She has a sister named Shari, and she is her only sibling. Their family has Spanish roots.
Her father is the founder of a domestic stock company named Lemacash Group, Inc. He was an established entrepreneur, but his daughter took a different career path away from the family business.
For college, Camille enrolled at the University of Southern California. There she studied Communications and Political Science and graduated in 2006. She chose to study at South Western Law School, where she earned her Juris Doctorate.
Law Career
After getting her law degree, Vasquez started practicing. She then worked for a number of private attorneys to build up her resume. After seven years, she decided to join a law firm.
In 2017, the certified lawyer was hired by Manatt, Phelps & Phillips. However, she only worked there for about a year. In 2018, she was recruited by the international law company Brown Rudnick LLP.
She was appointed to be an Associate in their Litigation & Arbitration Practice Group. She honed her ability to devise aggressive and defensive litigation approaches for private clients.
Representing Johnny Depp
In her current position, the California lawyer’s practice is centered on plaintiff-side defamation cases. She prosecuted two cases involving a violation of fiduciary duty for a high-profile client in the past.
Her skills and experience led her to work with Johnny Depp’s legal team in 2022. The actor was on trial for a defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard. In court, Camille became known for her sharp legal approach, and viewers loved her for that.
Depp ultimately won his case, and Camille Vasquez was a big reason for it. Johnny and his team sued Amber Heard on three counts of slander, seeking $50 million in damages.
Net Worth and Earnings
As a Litigation Associate her estimated annual salary is between $77,427 and $93,520. Also, this depends on the number of lawsuits she handles in a year. And now that she helped a renowned celebrity win a case, her value is only expected to go up.
The star attorney represents well-known and wealthy clients whose images and identities have been harmed by false charges. This is why she constantly gets paid big money. Currently, her net worth stands at $2 million.
Personal Life
She is not married, and it is reported she is dating a British guy who works in real estate. It is believed the relationship is serious and they have been dating for several months.
However, rumors have been circling the internet from TMZ claiming that Camille Vasquez could be dating Johnny Depp. The speculation is false, Vasquez and Depp are “definitely not dating” according to the Independent.
She was even asked publicly about this and chose not to answer the question. Even so, the law firm she works for wouldn’t like it if she was dating an important client.
