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.

Wasn't pleased

I spoke to Mr Davis about my situation and thought I would come out with victory Instead I still have over charged fees they motioned the court to get off my case didn't give me any of my paperwork which by law I'm entitled to and turned around and gave the court something to use over my head I wish ...I would have fought this case alone because honestly in mg opinion my kids would be home

Here he came to save the day

I have a CPS case and I've been lied about and cheated by the social workers. And my court appointed attorney did nothing for me. I called Vince Davis's office and found out I could not afford them. But I never personally talked to Vince. A few months later I called and came into the office looki...ng for a free consultation. I still had no money. But I was desperate. The person I was supposed to meet with was out sick. Luckily Vince himself, met with me. He's the first person that listened to me and my story. Then he came up with a legal strategy. He was the first one ever to do that. I told him I had no money. He sat back in his chair and said, "I'm not going to sit back and let you lose your kids without a fight because you don't have any money." He took on my case, and today we had our first small victory since the case started. It feels good to have someone fight for me in the CPS court. God bless him and his office.

THE BEST ATTORNEY

When it comes to your children you have to make sure to hire the best family attorney. If you're reading this is because your children are your life as they are to me. I reached to Vincent Davis and I was assigned to their best family attorney, Daniel. I'm dealing with a custody, visitation, and f...inancial battle. You might think my case is just another custody visitation case but no, my case is very nasty and difficult. I thank God for coming across with this law firm. Mr. Knowlton has so much knowledge on what he does. He puts his heart into your case. He has years of experience and he is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring. When we walk in front of the judge I feel very safe and protected by Mr. Knowlton. Im the kind of person who pays attention to little details and one thing I've noticed is the way with respect the judge speaks and refers to Mr. Knowlton. Mr. Davis personally checks on the status of my case without any charge. He is on top of it even though he isn't handling my case. Seeing this from the owner of this law firm makes me feel that they care about their clients and their cases. I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Ask for Attorney Daniel Knowlton he's the BEST!!!
