Above and beyond service!

Landon Villavoso was a Godsend in representing us to win back our two year old little girl from foster care in the LA Court system. He took the case and began immediately petitioning the court to have her placed with her family. The court was at fault for not doing this from the beginning. He knew wh...o to talk to and exactly how the court process works. His demeanor is very compassionate and professional. He also does not nickel and dime the client. We are so pleased we found him and our little girl is at home and safe with her family now.

Excellent Attorney

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my experience with Mr. Villavaso. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Villavaso Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself... available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the status and details/developments of my case. It has been truly a great experience, I could not have asked for a better attorney. I would recommend Mr. Villavaso to anyone with no doubts.

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.

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.
