Testimonial for Attorney John Vega

When my marriage ended, my ex-husband took our children, ran, and tried to have me arrested. He used his job and connections to gain leverage, leaving me at the mercy of people who had to decide whether to believe me. He made false accusations that threatened my career, my future, and my relationship... with my children. A trusted source recommended Attorney John Vega, and from the start, I knew I was in capable hands. Mr. Vega carefully vetted my case, which told me he only takes on clients and causes he truly believes in. He stood with me as I fought tirelessly to clear my name and reunite with my children. He then represented me through my divorce, ensuring I received everything I was owed even in the face of further sabotage from my ex. Thanks to his dedication and skill, I was awarded more than half of my ex’s retirement. Because of Mr. Vega’s representation, I not only rebuilt my life, but I found my calling. I went on to attend law school, graduate, and begin a new chapter with my children thriving by my side. One is now in college, and our lives are filled with hope and promise. Thank you, Mr. Vega. You will always have my deepest gratitude.

Choosing the Right Attorney is of Paramount Importance

We stumbled into what we believe to be county corruption and incompetence regarding the placement of two foster children in our care. At that time we had two pairs of foster siblings in two different courtrooms, so we asked a key individual in each courtroom for a list of attorney referrals. John Veg...a was the only attorney on both lists. We felt good about Mr. Vega from the initial consultation. Mr. Vega gave us a very realistic idea of what to expect, and we knew from the beginning it would be an uphill battle. We had NO idea how brutal the county would become after we questioned their plan for the children in our care. The county began a reputational destruction campaign against us. When we would go to court hearings, the county worker, county counsel, and counsel for the bio-mom would say terrible things about us, and the judge would rebuke us in the courtroom based on those false allegations. Mr. Vega provided calmness, stability and strength in the middle of a pretty heated battle with the county. His knowledge of the law and processes exceeded those of anyone else in the courtroom, and he regularly had to correct what was being demanded by others in the courtroom. The county was coming imminently three different times to remove the children from our home, but each time Mr. Vega used his vast knowledge of the law to stop the county’s impending actions. Mr. Vega protected the precious children in our care from becoming victims of what we believe to be a scam on the system and the county taxpayers, and he also protected our reputation before the court. Mr. Vega and his staff continually filed the many important and necessary documents with the court, and we were always well prepared when walking into the courtroom. We are now nearing the end of the adoption process for the children in our care, and we cannot thank enough Mr. Vega and his wonderful staff for all they did to bring us to this point! Highly recommended!

Highly recommend.

I’m very thankful for Mr. Vega’s representation. He has been so knowledgeable and supportive through what has been a horrible few years, divorcing from my emotional and verbally abusive husband. Mr. Vega is calm, practical and ethical. I would highly recommend his services.

His License Was Put On Probation

Vega has had his license put on Probation. He is my ex wife’s attorney. I knew that after being questioned that there was the possibility that she could impeached. She is my daughter’s mother. Check the court camera right in front of Commissioner Keller Court Room. You will hear me, break down, and T...ell Vega that I am concerned his client, my ex-wife, was going to get impeached. Vega stated that he does not care if his client gets impeached. Vega stated It means nothing. Funny thing.. On 8/9/22. His Client, My ex-wife.. was impeached. I just didn’t want it to happen again.. for the best interest of my little girl Through Vega.. this divorce has taken over 4 years. It’s cost me over 70k.. my ex wife probably spent close to 175k. We are more dysfunctional now than 4 years ago. We probably have another 2 years, after the hatred he has placed between myself and my ex-wife, this will never end, and he will collect his paycheck. All can be confirmed in Court Documents

Excellence

John Vega is the kindest, most honest man. His expertise and gentle way was exactly what we needed. He helped me to obtain a restraining order and guided my daughter through her her abusive divorce with honesty and reassurance. If you want someone who knows what they are doing-hire Joh Vega.
