Posted by Eldah | May 13, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Case WON!!

Mr. Davis Vincent, was God sent. I am so greatful to this law firm, on 2014 my grand daughter was removed from my care. I was told by DCFS that I would never recover her because of a fradulant case opened against me on 2000. Mr Davis fought hard and was able to bring my child home for good. Mr. Davis... also did my adoption in 2018. The social worker kept hiding documents, that slowed my case, and asking that I hire a lawyer she had for me and if I didn't my adoption will go very slow....Because of so much curruption, unethical and deceive from the worker, I almost lost my case. Fillings were not given to the judge, on our last court hearring the representative for DCFS was shoutting to the top of her lungs...that I was not represented and should not be permitted to sit with them, Mr. Davis at first opportunity held my arm, asked for me to stand up and showed the judge the fillings and to our surprise ...the judge was not aware of them. He then proceeded to anounce that he was my lawyer and " yes, I was represented". We won! My child will never have to shed a tear or be afraid she is home safe with me. Thanks to Mr. Vincent Davis and Associates.

Thank you God for leading me to Attorney Vince Davis

Thank you God for leading me to Attorney Vince Davis. He is one of the good guys. I couldn’t hire him due to financial reasons. But, I did meet with him, and communicated with him on several subsequent occasions, even while I was at court on the day of my CPS trial. To make things worse, my c...ourt appointed attorney was changed one day before the trial, and this new attorney had no witnesses or exhibits to give to the judge on the day of trial. And this new attorney, not knowing anything about my case, advised me to just give up and not have a trial. And just lose my children. I freaked and contacted Mr Davis again. I still couldn’t afford to hire him. And he was in the middle of a jury trial, but he took to time to walk me through exactly what needed to be done at my trial. And followed his advise and I won! And my reunification services were NOT terminated. This would have not happened without the free help from Vince. I recommend to everyone with a CPS case, call this man. You may not be able to afford him, but he’s so passionate about helping CPS victims, he’ll give you the free advice that might just change your case. God bless. PS Read his Fight CPS book and listen to his Fight CPS Radio Show.

Finally! Real HELP!

I contacted the Law Office of Vincent W. Davis. I met with and have come to trust Mr. Davis. The area of "dependency" is full of snakes and sharks from every angle. My DCFS matter morphed into a criminal campaign against me. Luckily VWD accepted me as a client. Another attorney from a different law... firm told me not to waste money on a dependency case because that arena is a "kangaroo court." He was right, but I needed HELP! I can unequivocally say, that DCFS and the County of Los Angeles filed a frivolous criminal complaint against me as a pretext to undermine any future civil litigation I pursue against them. No doubt because I mentioned Mr. Davis' name. Luckily Vincent W. Davis & Associates has subject matter expertise in DCFS matter. Mr. Davis appointed his legal expert to assist in this related criminal matter. As a result, Sam Ziselman, Competent defense lawyer from Vincent W. Davis & Assoc. took masterful control of a run away train. Like Mr. Davis, he doesn't walk in wielding a big stick, but when he gets fired up, you are sitting on the correct side of the table. Mr. Ziselman exhibits comfort & ease in the courtroom, definitely from years of experience. Not pretentious or showy like the prosecutors, but that is a sign of confidence, versus prosecutorial arrogance. Excellent argument skills, eloquent, quite impressive. Very focused and doesn't bite when the prosecutors make shiny empty commentary. Likable guy eventually, but likely jaded by the life of criminal defense clients. Straightforward, doesn't want to paint false hope, sort of modest. But, if you want to go the distance, he won't back down. A judge admitted his intention to rule against me (us) before a trial, but ultimately had to dismiss the jury after Mr. Ziselman arguments based on the experience of the VWD Firm. Do NOT underestimate the extreme importance of hiring a lawyer with subject matter expertise. Vincent Davis & Assoc. are the experts in their field. And as free advice, DO NOT TRUST any attorney from Los Angeles Dependency Lawyers (LADL) - a private attorney is the way to go.

CPS

I hired Mr. Davis over a situation with CPS where it seemed they were trying to create a situation that would allow them to take my child. Reading and doing my research on CPS and their corruption i knew i had to get a lawyer in case they did try something. I was looking for attorneys specific to CPS... cases and came across him. Mr.Davis got back to me on a Sunday, a day I know he doesn’t work, and took on my case and started looking into it before he was even paid which really gave me peace of mind being that i was so stressed out over this. I came to his office , with my 8 month old and that wasn’t a problem to him, we discussed my situation further. We ended up having a meeting with CPS, he already knew the attorney, he was very knowledgeable in everything that was discussed and i left there feeling so much more peaceful about my situation. He assured me i had nothing to worry about. I ended up also hiring Mr. Davis as my family law attorney as well in order to handle my family matters. As of now, we’re still waiting for CPS to close my case this week so i can move on with my life, but i trust it’s being taken care of by him and his staff as they are making sure they prioritize my case. I truly appreciate Mr. Davis and his staff. There is no price to peace of mind and that is what you get when you’re working with Mr. Davis. Would like to also add that one of his paralegals, Benita is on top of it and very patient. If you need any legal help, he’s the one. P.S. Will update on the CPS case as soon as I know the status.

My Easter weekend

Attorneys Vince Davis, Denise Adagin and The Law Offices of Vincent W Davis and Associates represent me in my CPS case. They have done an outstanding job. I now have weekends and over nights visits with my children, and I am very close to having them returned home full time. This Easter weekend has... been the best gift of all with them here at home with me. We went to the beach yesterday and are going to celebrate Easter without my mother or a monitor. In court my lawyers had to fight against the social worker and her attorney; the children's attorney; the father and his attorney; and finally had to fight off my mother and her attorney who are trying to steal my kids from me! My lawyers showed up for the 2 day trial on my 388 petition, and everyone caved. We had our witnesses lined up (about 5), and our exhibits for court already organized into a book. Vince Davis even arranged to have 2 expert witnesses testify on my behalf. A former CPS social worker and a psychologist. The CPS expert was going to tell the judge how my CPS worker and her supervisor weren't following proper county and state procedures; and the psychologist performed an evaluation on me, and was going to testify that I was not crazy. My CPS worker was trying to make that a new issue, where it never was never an issue before. We beat them too the punch! I don't know what the CPS social will come up with next, I don't know what the children's attorney will say next, and I don't know what my mother will try to do next. BUT I'm sure glad I have Vince Davis on my side. If anyone needs information about how to do a 388 petition to get your kids back, contact me. I will share with you everything Vince Davis has shown me. How to fight CPS and get your kids home. One last thing. When I first met with Davis I had heard that he was too expensive to hire. I didn't have the money. But after he heard my story, money wasn't an issue. The only thing he cared about was beating CPS and getting my children home. If i still had my court appointed attorney, I would have lost my kids by now. Vince and Dennis stopped that from happening!
