Veronica A. Freitas

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.

Veronica took over my case when it became apparent that I would be going to trial over a custody dispute. My case had dragged out almost 2 years. She was very straightforward with me at our first meeting - which I appreciated since I had been with a bigger firm prior to hiring her and while I didn't ...necessarily have a "bad" experience there, I did feel as though I got lost in the shuffle. Her staff is very considerate, kind, and hardworking - they took the time to really get to know my case and worked with me to draft any motions we needed in order to save a bit of money. They always returned my calls and emails right away anytime there was a question or something had happened that might affect my case - and really my life. They understand that child custody situations are extremely stressful - their client's lives are in their hands in a way, and I felt very cared for by them. The other party had been using money and the legal system to control me. I had left an abusive situation and literally had nothing - not even my self esteem. Immediately Veronica started building me up again. She was more than an attorney for me - she was a personal advocate and I know that she really cared about me, my child, and our well being going forward. I felt protected for the first time since I got out of the relationship! When it came time for trial Veronica studied everything about my case. She read every single email, text message, and filing that had been done previously. She knew the in's and out's of my case better than I did (and I had to live it)! She was at home in the courtroom and put on the best possible trial I could ever hope for - she defended me tirelessly - there is absolutely nothing I would change about the way she conducted the trial. She did everything she could for me even down to the little things like helping me prepare to be a witness and helping me feel calm and safe in the same room as the other party. Meeting Veronica has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! She helped me to finally find my voice again. She went above and beyond for me and I will always be grateful for the way she advocated for myself and my child's future. I believe that advocating for others is Veronica's true calling. She is extremely dedicated and insanely good at her job!

Veronica is simply the best lawyer I have come across in the course of a prolonged and bitter divorce struggle that lasted almost three years. The facts were on our side, but as a foreign man with mental illness, and with the mother having custody, I felt that the prejudices of the system were again...st me at every turn. Veronica took the case at the last minute and turned it around, with a simple emphasis on the facts, the law, and the best interests of the children. The case went to trial, and she is a first class advocate having prepared thoroughly and knowing every document.

Veronica and her team made me comfortable right from the start in my divorce proceedings. No fuss no gobbledygook no confusion....simple straight clear answers and guidance that made me sleep at night knowing I had the right lawyer on my side. Her knowledge, confidence and clarity is plain to see -... not just to me, but to other lawyers and judges - so she gets the job done. Quickly. Honestly. Directly. Outstanding person and an incredible human being.

Akin to some of the best trial attorneys in our country Veronica Freitas is definitely one you don't want to see across the isle. To prevent the international relocation of my stepson we spent a year in preparation and a week in trial witness to Veronica's profound mastery of the case and courtroom. ... Veronica has an impressive ability to recall a key fact, legal citation, or piece of contradictory testimony at moments of intense pressure. As opposing witnesses took the stand I watched as Veronica adapted her approach to the particular witness causing each to yield more than even they expected. In this case there weren't any big Perry Mason moments but rather a continuation of cutting away and cutting away until the truth was clear. None of this could have happened if Veronica and her team had not also done such a great job in preparation. The entire process was well organized, planned out and then fully executed. Veronica kept us informed at all times and made complex matters understandable without being condescending. A true professional.
