John Nicholas Vega

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!
