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.

Wise and beat decision to hire him

have a very complex case with many complicated sides that every attorney I spoke to was intimidated by it, Until I met Mr Davis. He is an amazing, talented, and very wise attorney who's best asset is his heart. He doesn't just do this as a career, it's his passion because he actually cares. He has s...o much knowledge and wisdom in this corrupt state and the hell of CPS, AND does everything to fight for what's right. He has written several books describing the corruption that happens with cps that is very specific and straight to the point, and easy read that I recommend to every person dealing with cps. His office and staff are very neat and orderly, also accommodating to specific needs and time restraints your schedule permits. They are very professional whether you are in the office or by you phone. The response time is immediate. Although he has assistants and other attorneys that work on your case, he still has personal contact with you as well. The amount of time he spends with each client is generous and detailed as if you his only client. One of my favorite characteristics is his confidence in the right path and steps to be taken. When I first came to him my case was already twisted into this insane mess that he still took on. I believe he has recently had some family tragedy in his personal life that happened, and yet he is still able to be sensitive and present to my case. This attorney is an answer to my every prayer in getting my kids back and I am blessed

Juvenile case

For the last nine months Vincent W. Davis and Associates have been assisting me with my legal battles. One being a juvenile case and the other a long standing criminal case that came at a surprise. In any case, the juvenile case I couldn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, I know with...out Vince’s help, I am fairly positive that my daughter would still be in foster care. The entire DCFS/CPS system in California is absolutely hideous. Social workers pretending to be on your side, yet their reports six months later, say otherwise. I couldn’t believe when I saw both reports. My social worker that was actually kind to me and I trusted, just ended up completely bashing me and writing a ton of lies about me. Vince helped me get out of that situation by placing my child in another state with my father. And that was a big battle. But, to be honest…this DCFS/CPS is unreal. I appreciate all of Vince’s help and support. He has helped me considerably and he is not hard to contact. So I was reassured by his presence over many texts and telephone calls.

Ms. Davis is exceptional!

My husband and I retained Ms. Davis for our dependency matter. She was uniquely qualified to represent us. She was very knowledgeable of the entire process, and was committed to our cause from the beginning. She kept us informed about what to expect, and did not make predictions or promises without b...asis. Ms. Davis was also mindful of our retainer and would only contact us if absolutely necessary in order to keep our costs down. I believe that in our situation, she was the absolute best attorney possible, and she got the best possible outcome for us. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in a dependency matter.

We won the Victory!

I hired Mr. Davis early March, my children were wrongfully snatched from our house. Mr Davis since the first day was ready to help me and his goal was to return our children back Home ASAP. We had a short case plan to complete. We then filed a 388 petition to get our babies sooner than the 6mos and p...etition was granted for a hearing. We attended court and we now have our children back home! I highly reccomend Mr Vincetnt's Davis office. All their personnel are very polite and fast to respond. I want to thank Mr. Davis, Davion, and Stephanie.
