When I thought there was NO HOPE, Mr. Davis showed me the light... and he saved my family!

There aren't many moments in this life, where all hope has faded. When all the odds are stacked against you somehow, when only you know deep within, that all this must be some kind of hoax. How could I be facing FALSE allegations, and not have the opportunity to voice your explanation or situatio...n! How dare the Social Workers take your interview questions and twist them to incriminate you?! What is the motive behind all of this nonsensical verbage, being misconstrued? I didn't have HOPE when I walked into Mr. Davis' office... only a cry for help! Within a few moments into my complete story, I know I didn't even get to the part describing my accusations... nevermind having to explain myself, or defend myself. Mr. Davis asked me a few questions that kept me focused on logical facts. His expertise in knowing how to sort through the emotional tidal wave I was experiencing, was beyond phenomenal! I can tell you this... if you feel as if you have just been tossed into a sea of hurricane uncertainties... you can rest assured, that once Mr. Davis looks at your circumstances; you will immediately be lifted into the RESCUE CHOPPER! You don't have to feel alone or drown in the confusion of public representation at court! I highly recommend you call Mr. Davis immediately, to avoid the strain that I endured! I thought I could take care of my case alone! It was my first time experiencing Juvenile Court! Yet I felt that the case was total bullshit to begin with! Before I knew it, just when I thought the case was closing... TWO NEW FALSE ALLEGATIONS out of nowhere! Thank the Heavens I turned to Mr. Davis when I did... And now I have the letter from DCFS stating that the referral for the allegations have been closed and were found Inconclusive and Unfounded! This would have NEVER happened, if I had not had his presence during the investigations and individual meetings conducted through DCFS! HE GAVE ME A FIGHTING CHANCE! HE GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO GET MY LITTLE BOYS BACK! I am forever grateful in every way... for the services he provided for my family! And done so eloquently and flawless, I know the level of skill to perform on this plane is nothing short of MASTERY! Thank You! For gracing me with your YEARS of talent, and taking this burden from my life! I am so anxious to move forward! Infinite Love and Gratitude!

V is for Victory and V = Vince Davis

All attorneys are NOT the same. Having been involved in 2 big trials in the last 2 years, I now understand what my attorney, Vince Davis has told me and that is that all attorneys have a license to practice law. But what differentiates trial lawyers is training and experience. I watched Vince win th...e first trial and I picked up on certain elements of his training in that trial but I really didn’t appreciate that training and experience as I felt, yeah, he’s good at what he does but we should’ve won anyway and we did! In this second trial, a much bigger case and probably the most important case of my life, I listened to Vince in the court room, watched him implement a strategy and watched him predict exactly what the jury was going to do. It was amazing! At one point, I seriously felt the opposing attorney was winning but Vince reassured me that everything would be alright as I was almost gasping for air. Vince skillfully questioned each witness with calm and grace. It was truly a skill that he’s developed and he damn good at it! As Vince stood in front of the jury giving his closing, he said he connected with the jurors as he has been taught by one of his mentors, Gerry Spence and we won! My advice is don’t go to trial with a lawyer that doesn’t at least have 20 years of trial experience AND a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College with the Trojan Horse Method of Trial Lawyers training. Vince tells me all the time, all attorneys know the law, but not all attorneys have the formal Training and Experience.

Thank you, God for Attorney Vincent Davis saving One Family at a Time.

We needed a Top Notch Legal Firm to stop the unlawful dealings of OC Social Service System on my children and us as parents. There are great parents who get in this horrible lying system. If you are here..hire this firm. They will work hard for you and pray a lot to God.

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.
