I cannot thank him enough

I highly recommend Atty. Villavaso’s services. Working with him has been truly a blessing and postive experience. His advice and support help me through a very stressful custody battle. He responds very fast to text messages even during off hours despite pandemic. He always made himself available ...even on weekends and was very patient in explaining the details of my case. He is very fair and honest. He credited back to me part of my retainer that was unused. He made me feel I have someone to represent me that truly cares. I cannot thank him enough.

A Powerful Ally and Friend

Juvenile dependency proceedings can be emotional and complex, and there are many parties and interests involved. I cannot express enough how important and valuable it has been to have someone like Landon on my side. He is incredibly smart and experienced with the various courts and will not hesitate ...to fight for your interests. He knew when I was vulnerable and took care to provide honest recommendations that were tough for me to hear, yet respected my wishes when it went against his advice. For every court appearance, Landon arrived early and well-prepared, and he made sure I understood the process, what my options were, and what the general disposition was in the courtroom. He was always careful to ask me what I wanted first before making a recommendation, and then went into court to passionately advocate on my behalf. Throughout the entire year-long process, I never felt that he was busy taking care of other clients. He was extremely accessible and responsive by phone, text, and email, and I truly felt like he had dedicated himself full time to my case even though I knew he had other clients. That's how responsive he was. If you are ever unfortunate enough to be in a situation where you think you might benefit from legal counsel for juvenile dependency, I strongly urge you to have a chat with Landon. He is the real deal, a seasoned pro of high integrity, intelligence, and passion. I didn't want to take any chances when it came to custody of my son, and I knew after our first phone conversation that my chances would be far better with Landon than without. My initial fear and anxiety at my situation immediately gave way to reassurance and hope, and thanks to Landon's efforts, I was ultimately able to regain custody of my son. Highest possible recommendation from me.

Definitely 5 STAR Family Attorney!

I will start off by saying that Mr. Landon Villavaso is one exceptional attorney. My very first over the phone conversation with Mr. Villavaso regarding my case he made me feel very comfortable, he was so knowledgeable, felt my pain and I knew then that his expertise was exactly what I needed to move... forward with my terrible custody battle. Mr. Villavaso was always available to commuicate rather it be over the phone, text, email etc...and although yes he’s quite the busy attorney he makes you feel as if you are his only client. Your case is priority. Mr. Villavaso stayed on top of my case daily and made sure to update me every step of the way and walked me through everything. If it wasn’t for Mr. Villavaso I can’t say that I would have my daughter today. It had been 4 long years for me but after hiring Mr. Villavaso he got right on my case and before I knew it things changed around in my favor. I am so overwhelmed with joy to finally put all this behind me and have a fresh start with my daughter and I owe it all to Mr. Villavaso. It’s never easy hiring an attorney especially a Family Law Attorney but if you’re in the market for the BEST Mr. Villavaso will get the job done!

The best family law attorney you can hope to retain

Mr. Villavaso was my attorney in a Children's Court action. I am a 15 year litigation attorney myself but had no experience in Children's Court but am fully able to judge an attorney based on their skill level, merit and how hard they work on your file. Mr. Villavaso went above and beyond. He wor...ked tirelessly to reveal the truth and we won at trial without breaking a sweat. He is incredibly knowledgeable, is respected and very well liked within the legal community and is always available. I literally cannot say enough about this man. I needed not just a great attorney but someone who would care and pursue to the truth and with Landon Villavaso I got everything I wanted and more. He worked on my file everyday. He was in constant communication with me. He kept me updated every step of the process and he never refused my phone call or email. He would speak to me way after business hours. He was my attorney, my confidant, my friend. I simply cannot thing of any other attorney that would have performed the way Landon Villavaso, Esq. did. He gave me my children back and my life back and i am indebted for him for life. I have been a practicing litigation attorney for 15 years and I have yet to come across someone as skilled and caring as Landon.

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.
