Child custody and Support

I'd like to start by saying thank God for guiding me in the direction of Mr. Villavaso. I'm a single dad and my daughter is now 12 years old going on 13 and I have always wanted to be an active dad in my child's life. His knowledge of family law and his patients was extraordinary. I felt a sigh of ...relief and that I was in good hands after my initial consultation with him. My case with my daughters mom was everything but the norm but Mr. Villavaso never gave up on doing what was right and in the best interest of our daughter. His calm smooth demeanor coupled with his years of knowledge in family law afforded me 50% custody as a result. As a father that wants and needs to be an intricate part of his daughter's life I couldn't have found a better attorney to handle my case. Words can't express how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to have Mr. Villavaso handled this most difficult of child custody cases and I thank God daily for bringing him into my life.

Landon is your man! He's the BEST!

Landon is truly your man! He's the type of lawyer who really cares about his clients -- and he goes out of his way to fight for them! I've consulted with Landon several times on areas around family law and real estate/business ventures -- he's always been so open and knowledgeable about these are...as. He provided constructive and insightful advice and went out of his way refer me to other resources that would be helpful to me. Landon takes the time to really be there for his clients; you are not just a number but a person to him. He fights for injustice and is the best in what he does! Not to mention, he is very good at what he does - he's very articulate, savvy and very professional. If you want a lawyer who cares, who is there for his clients and can consult your case with discernment, give Landon a call! He will NOT let you down!

Children's Court Case

I am greatly honored to be able to post a review for Landon Villavaso. Landon has experience with a very unique area of law, The Dept. of Children and Family Services.I had accusations about my ability to mother/parent my children and they were sent by DCFS to live with their father. I was so glad to... hire Landon because the court appointed atty. did not seem to understand my point of view and seemed to believe that my case was doomed and a very narrow path for me to win. Landon's price was reasonable in comparison to other attys. I researched and he was very knowledgeable in this area of law. When he took on my case we found out he had just resigned from working in that court room under the same Judge who was over my case and knew some of the other players/court room Attys. He did his best to support me on this case,he met me immediately after our phone consultation and believed in finding justice for me. He was always available through phone,text or email. He even met me one time on a Saturday so that I can be prepared for possible testimony.This was one of the most difficult times of my life and I am glad I found an Atty. like Landon who seemed to care and not only looking for a payment.This was my first experience with hiring an Atty. and he made me feel very comfortable,some days rougher than others, but he encouraged me to believe that it was not all over. I appreciate that Landon even showed up to the Family Court to assist me in a different matter that was semi-related. At the end of the day,through the assistance of God and Landon,my case was completely dismissed and my children were returned home.Landon even waived final charges,however,I plan to compensate him in some unique way as soon as possible.It is seldom a day goes by that I am not thankful for the outcome of this tragic situation in my life. I would recommend Landon to anyone who is looking for a fair, committed and hardworking Atty. who will get the job done. He really fights for his clients and I will forever be grateful to Landon and his services during a most trying time in my life. Anyone looking for an Atty. my wish is that you all have the same positive experience and outcome that I did.
