Excellent Lawyer

Landon is great! With Landon at your side you will be able to walk into any situation with complete confidence. He is very professional and went above and beyond to get me the results I was hoping for. He does not nickel and dime the client like some other lawyers may do. He seemed to genuinely c...are about the struggles I was facing in my case and was compassionate during my most stressful moments. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Villasvaso was recommended to me by a friend that had high remarks of him. When I met him for my initial consultation, he was extremely attentive, patient, and straight forward with me regarding my child custody case. I was extremely stressed out but he told me what strengths we had on my side an...d also what was not in my favor. I never felt misled and never felt that he didn't care. He was extremely strategic and his arguments in court appeared to be somewhat like scenes from movies. He was always prepared for any situation and I know he had done his research methodically and presented my case very well in court. In the end the judge ruled in our favor! I have referred him time and time again. He's an exceptional attorney that I highly recommend.

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.

Best Lawyer

My name is Manuela and I recommend him 100 % to anyone that needs a lawyer. He is a very good experienced person that will help you with all his power and everything he has. He will put up a fight for you in court if he has too. My experience with him was the best one ever I would totally go back an...d hire him again if I need custody help.

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
