Landon Charles Villavaso

It is difficult for me to compose this review being that my emotions for Landon's work is very overwhelming. It is difficult for me to put into context the order of my feelings and the expression of my gratitude for Landon because without Landon, my case with family court would have been an impossibl...e victory. My case was much broader than proving my innocents as it related to a false allegation claim that was made against me. It was about seeking TRUTH. It was about seeking JUSTICE. It was about WINNING against a system that is within a "victims" environment as the odds are stacked greatly against the defendant. Did you know that in Family Court, your innocents is measured upon a fifty to fifty-one preponderance of evidence ratio? When defending against a child's claim, along with exaggerated (some times bold face lie) reporting from The Department, it makes TRUTH very difficult to prove. This is where Landon's gift as a Family Court Defense Attorney shines. First let me say that it has been my experience with Landon that his greatest quality as an attorney is his dedication to his cases. I got the sense from Landon that he only accepts cases that he believes in. Not necessarily in terms of winning. But, in terms of truth. ~ For there are many "innocent" defendants in family court. Landon seems to have a great sense of truth-sayers. This allows Landon to only work on cases he feels passionate about. This leads into the reason why I retained Landon. He is passionate about truth. I found Landon to be an expert in Family Court & DCFS advisement. I consider myself a fairly educated person, but dealing with Family Court and DCFS, seems to require a set of knowledge and logic that we would not have unless we were knowledgeable of the System. There were many instances to where I came to Landon with an issue with respects to Family Court and DCFS and Landon was able to provide me clear and understandable advice that really helped me in my posturing with DCFS and understanding of the Family Court Process. He assisted me greatly in helping me understand how to get my truth out in the Family Court Environment. Another quality that I feel is a requirement for me to let known about Landon is that he is extremely communicative. (Which, you don't find too often in attorneys.) I never had to deal with second hand communication from his assistant or paralegal. All communication was direct. It was my experience that Landon is a very busy man. And as such, he may not answer the phone right away. But, you can always expect a call that day. Even if it is on his commute home. Landon also did a wonderful job with preparing me for court. I remember my first family court experience. It was the Petition Hearing. It was horrific. The process was very fast and very confusing. My Court Appointed Attorney did the best job he could do explaining the process, but being that he had many, many cases that day, he was unable to have me completely understand what the heck had happened and what the next steps were. Thankfully, my experience with my trial hearing was much better. Landon was able to answer all my questions as it related to the process and prepare me for the trial in a way that no other attorney could have. Being that I am running out of character space, I will close my review by saying that if you are in search of A GREAT Family Court Attorney, particularly within False Allegation Cases, it is my believe that you CAN NOT hire a better attorney to represent you. His knowledge of law, Compassion for your situation and Passion for his work allows for a partnership that extends more into friendship. Maybe that's what makes working with Landon so great. The partnership that you hold with Landon evolves into more of a friendship. After the 50% completion line with my case, I felt that I was talking to a friend rather than a hired lawyer. Thank you Landon for essentially, saving my life.

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
