Truth and Justice

I hired Freddy Godoy in July 2014 to defend me against a bogus contempt charge and a petition to modify custody order. This was my second time in court and my third time negotiating custody orders, with countless mediation sessions thrown into the mix over for many years. I needed better results. ... This was not an ordinary situation. My ex is borderline and bipolar and this can't be swept under the rug. Freddy listened to my plight and objectively, heard me out. He is smart, compassionate, objective, and trustworthy. I interviewed many lawyers and Freddy was the best for us. I wanted to wrap this up as quickly and as easily as possible. We ended up in court with the best outcome possible for my 13 year daughter. Freddy saved the day. For the first time in 12 years, I feel free...really free. The truth came out, finally!! My daughter said to me "I love Freddy. He saved my life". She still sees her Dad the same amount of time as she did before, but now it's on her terms, which is perfect. Thank you!!!

Need a divorce attorney? Look no further.

Freddy was the best decision I made aside from divorcing my ex. He was aggressive in what needed to get done. He has impeccable communication skills; kept me informed no matter what the hour. He also assisted me with the child support and custody matters. I would highly recommend Freddy if you need a...ssistance with Divorce, Custody or Child Support. Thank you again Freddy for all of your help!

THIS IS A LAWYER THAT WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

I was looking for a family lawyer to help me in a very tough situation with my child. I cant tell you how bad the situation was and the emptiness I felt inside for my son. I called Freddy Godoy at night for the first time and left him a message. 20 minutes later he called me right back and we spoke a... little more. He kept me well informed and detailed right up until the court date. He fought hard for me and it made all the difference. The judge saw things in our favor. Freddy was a God sent and I cant thank him enough. You need a family lawyer who is fair and passionate about his job...this is who you want to have in your corner.

Child custody

I couldn't be happier with the results Freddy got me. My criminal record is not exactly squeaky clean but Freddy was still able to get me nearly fifty percent custody. I met with another lawyer before Freddy who said it would be impossible to get what Freddy got me. My ex and I could not agree on an...ything , so everything was gonna be decided in court, but that's when Freddy's at his best. I knew I was in good hands, because everyone from the judges to the security guards knew him. I needed someone who was in court everyday and knew the ins and outs of the system. My ex went threw three different attorneys because Freddy ripped each one of them apart one at a time. He was always was upfront with me about everything. He never guaranteed me anything. He always just gave me his honest opinion on the situation, and I knew he had my best interest at heart. He knew what I wanted from the beginning and did whatever it took to get the results. I'm so thankful Freddy was on my side. Best decision I could have made.

Client

Freddy was the second lawyer I visited to have a Marital Settlement Agreement ammended. The first lawyer claimed it would not be possible. Freddy compassionately and professionally guided me through a year and a half of grueling litagation with my ex-wife and her legal team of three lawyers. Despit...e some seemingly hopeless moments, Freddy remained positive and determined and would not let me give up. He always listened and gave wise advice regarding how to react to the situation at the moment and the upcoming trials. He understood the frustration and anger, but did not allow it to affect the case. We succeeded in getting the agreement ammended in my favor. He keeps high ethical standards and he is honest and trustworthy. Freddy is a great advocate, coach, and determined fighter through the entire process of both litagation and associated paper work. He is out to provide the best possible legal services to his clients and not just take their money. I was found out the hard way you need a lawyer to represent you during a divorce, but I was very fortunate to find Freddy to help me correct this mistake. I have no hesitation in giving him an excellent rating, recommending him to someone else, or hiring him again if I need to.
