HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, A HEAVEN SENT

When you’re engulf to the ungodly side of the children’s court, Attorney Villavaso is definitely a professional who you would want to be by your side. It is imperative to be represented by someone who is respected and is known inside the Children’s Court. My husband and I were accused of a very ha...rsh “E” count when our son had an accident under a relative’s care. My husband and I were very lost, confuse, and scared to say the least. We were coping with our reality of what happened to our son and in addition we also have to awfully face the allegation of DCFS. We were very fortunate to have been introduce to Mr. Villavaso. Till this day, we believe he is our heaven sent. From the moment we had our first conversation, Atty. Villavaso started his research to know what we’re up against and WHO we’re up against inside the court. He read all allegations, answered all my questions, and were easily accessed for any concerns. I gained so much of my knowledge because of him. It was a very rough battle, but I must say, having Atty. Villavaso by my side was a huge relief, I felt confident inside that court. He literally lifted a huge weight off my shoulder. The county and minor’s counsel wanted us to settle for what is convenience for them, for the court house and want us to admit to some fault to “settle” the case. Atty. Villavaso Fought for us! Didn’t settle and would not settle to anything but my children to be “HOME WITH PARENTS” We went on a full trial. Atty. Villavaso closing argument was standing ovation, impeccable. It truly shows the quality of his work. Our Children are HOME!! (B) Even our social worker commented: “Through my 18 years in DCFS, I have never seen whereas the judge sustained all allegation to be true, and agreed the kids to come home! That’s because you have your private attorney” I would Highly Recommend Mr. Villavaso! This positive testimony and the testimonies of other speaks for itself

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!

Amazing Family Attorney

Landon Villavaso was assigned to my case as a public defender and I can’t thank him enough! I don’t know what I would have done without him. Landon is very professional and went above and beyond during the entire case. He constantly followed up with me and the court, he explained to me every single d...etail of my case and was always responsive. Thanks to attorney Landon, I got my children back. I strongly recommend him!

Best lawyer ever!

I consulted with different lawyers before making my final decision to choose Mr. Villavaso as my attorney. I had a personal family issue that needed legal attention and he was extremely kind, accesible, honest and fair with his fees. It was never about the money with him but making sure my case got r...esolved. He gives great advice and always listens carefully. He's extremely methodical and knows the legal system very well. His experience and knowledge truly showed. I asked a lot of questions and he was always patient with me knowing I was under a lot of stress. I highly recommend him to everyone. I don't trust lawyers in general since their always trying to over charge but I never got that feeling from him and most of all he's very sincere.
