Veronica A. Freitas

Veronica is hands down the best lawyer I have ever come across. I was very lucky to have found her after firing my previous two lawyers. She helped me get custody of my child. She was able to negotiate without going to court with the other party’s lawyer and get a 50/50 parenting plan on a temporary ...basis after an agreement was not met in mediation. I got the most out of Veronica in the least amount of time. She is brilliant, fast at responding to emails, and is a master in law. Sometimes she will tell you what you do not want to hear but it is what you need to hear. She won my trial case in Snohomish county who has a reputation of making it extremely different for fathers in custody suits. She has helped both mothers and fathers but when fathers have the disadvantage she is able to make the impossible possible. If you have a weak GAL, even if the GAL’s recommendation rules in your favor (which was the case for me) she will help coach them during trial by throwing them softballs. She also has experience with destroying GAL recommendations who do not rule in your favor. Veronica saved my life. If you are passionate and determined enough about your case she will fight hard for you against all odds. She will tell you the hard truth, but she will believe in you and listen to you if you are adamant to take the risk of that’s what you truly believe is in the best needs of your child(ten) She is ethical and a good person at heart and very fair when it comes to billing. She knows the game of law and will easily put the opposing party in check mate. Veronica is someone you would want to hang out with and there needs to be more lawyers like her. She is down to earth and charismatic. She has a good heart and will help guide you through a very tough process, helping you relax in a very stressful environment. I am so lucky I found her. It was like winning the lottery. She was my third attorney and helped me win my trial case. Her legal assistant Amy is also very good. She will help you by responding to emails promptly and will help strategize by talking on the phone, and will help edit your declarations. Veronica has 30+ years experience and will make other attorneys look like they just got out of law school. Veronica is the best thing that ever happened to me. She is confident and will surprise you on how well she knows your case. Veronica is an extremely hard worker. She works so hard that she will make herself sick because she’s a workaholic. I wish I would have hired her from day one. My custody case wouldn’t last as long and wouldn’t have costed as much. During trial when the judge said it may go to a second day Veronica was able to wrap it up under an hour so we wouldn’t have to go a second day costing more money. She truly cares about her clients and can see right through the BS so be honest with her and she will take you far! Thank you so much !! Hire this woman for mothers and especially fathers. Do not hire Damon canfield or Morgan Witt.

Thank You for handling my divorce / Case. You told me not to worry and that I was in good hands and your words became true. I appreciate the amazing professionalism of the whole team. Michael is not only an outstanding lawyer but was such a quality and nice person to work with. Even thou...gh you handle issues of tremendous gravity on a daily basis, everyone was so compassionate and caring and helpful. I felt your service was amazing, demonstrated a high level of professional integrity, and was reasonable and fair. My experience with you, Michael, Amy, Beth, Christopher , Valerie, and Silinda was outstanding -- I hope to not ever go through the experience again but you and everyone associated with V. Fretas law will be at the top of my list of recommendations when and if my friends find themselves in similar situations. Again, I just want to say -- Thank You ,

I must have done something good to have been blessed with Veronica and her team. They are a wonderful team and, against tough odds, we won the custody case and I can continue to be a father, and the primary parent, to my kids. Veronica is brilliant, compassionate, professional, efficient, and direc...t. Also, she is a sight to see in the courtroom. If you have the unfortunate experience of going to trial, you’ll be extremely happy that Veronica is on your side and not the opposing counsel. If you can avoid going to court, Veronica will not allow you to get a raw deal. In addition to Veronica, her whole team is kind, thoughtful, engaged, and knows me. They are responsive, calm, warm, and tough. It has been a joy for me to have their support through this most difficult experience of my life. I learned so much from both Veronica and Amy and I’ve come out a better person for the experience.

Veronica is an excellent attorney. She successfully represented me in a range of family law issues that included a complex international relocation case. She was able to convince the court to allow me to relocate with my children back to my country of origin in Europe. This was a challenging case... as the children were born and raised in the US. Veronica was professional, knowledgeable, well prepared, and responsive. I appreciated how she kept me grounded and provided me with sound legal advice throughout the process. She is a skilled trial attorney and is able to present herself well to the court and question witnesses in a well thought out manner to support her case. She was also able to react appropriately to any unexpected information presented by the witnesses & opposing side. I could tell that she truly cared about my case and that it was important to her to do a good job. I also appreciated that she was ethical and above board, even when the other side engaged in unethical practices. I was very fortunate to have Veronica represent me and I highly recommend her.

I was dealing with so many different situations including a psycho, abusive and controlling ex husband who filed multiple petitions as well as a federal case I had. I previously worked with two other attorneys who didn't care and just wanted to take advantage of me. I hired Veronica and she was on po...int at every hearing. She never once judged me for what was going on in my life, which was very important to me. Veronica kept me informed and was always responsive to my emails and calls. She saved me money and even sent me the remainder of my retainer fee after my case closed. After going though so many circles and dropped petitions with the ex and his dramatic attorney, the ex started up again and filed another petition to take my kids, which he was denied again. Veronica was able to seek attorney fees for me. I am thankful that there are honest attorneys out there like her and not to mention her paralegals! Amy and Hye are awesome! I still seek help from all of them with questions and guidance til this day. Thank you guys for your help! I would refer you to anyone.
