Veronica A. Freitas

Veronica and team (Amy, Chris, and Hannah) handled my case to modify Child Support Order with competence and expertise, from start to finish. Veronica listened intently, was empathetic, real, and to the point/no-nonsense. She and her team were professional and responsive to my concerns and achieved... a fair outcome at a reasonable cost. Having this team handling my case kept me on track and gave me an immediate sense of peace and confidence throughout the process, despite the typically high-conflict opposing party. I am so satisfied and grateful. Thank you!

Veronica is a great lawyer.I’m so glad i found her and she is the who I had would have trusted to fight my case.She is fierce on one hand and on the other hand is great listener and works to make sure that the her clients can confide in her. Not long back ago, while I was in a custody battle and div...orce process, my ex found that the best way to find all the cases would be accusing me of abusing my son. As is common practice in WA, the court filed a restriction order against me and the police showed up at my work place to take my son away. Needless to say that few days later I lost my custody case, I was forced to pay not only an abusive child support amount but also retroactive in more than a year. Furthermore, I was unable to see my son and forced to go through a painful process. After trying few Lawyers, I finally found Veronica Freitas after seeing all the great reviews I read about her. She from the very beginning was my confidante and a friend, she took my case and immediately requested an audience to review my case with the Judge, at that moment for me was just another hearing, after almost 2 years in Court, without been able to see and hug my son but, Veronica did the impossible. In her first hearing, she not only established that the whole thing was fabricated but also proved that I was a good father to my son. Veronica proved in a single session that all the accusations against me were created with absolutely no basis. She fought to ensure that the restriction Order against me was removed. I was also allowed to see my son again and my ex was forced to facilitate the reunification process between my son and I. I totally recommend Veronica to anybody who needs a honest and professional Lawyer and not just someone who files papers. She is always well prepared and does all necessary researches before a case. Veronica fights tooth and nail to ensure that her clients get justice

In year 2012 Veronica worked on my parenting plan and child support case and presented me during the initial hearing when the mother of our 2 year old child stopped letting me see him. This was a high conflict case involving fabricated DV allegations that were used very skillfully against me, which w...ere thankfully later dismissed when the divorce case settled. At the time my ex had held back my son from me for 3 consecutive hellish months. Even though my ex didn't have a job, she managed to hire one of the most expensive Bellevue attorneys who later turned out to have charged over $10K for the DV-protection order hearing case and another $10K for the divorce case. The initial divorce hearing resulted in court assigning a GAL for which I had to pay, most importantly allowed me to see my son 1 night every weekend and 2 nights every other weekend and Wed. evenings. Veronica was very articulate and confident at that hearing and crushed the opposing attorney, who was primarily an immigration's attorney and not a family attorney. Later my ex appealed the initial ruling by hiring a new attorney and Veronica suggested that we don't do anything and didn't file a response because the new attorney is loser and the judge won't even take him seriously. My time with my son was reduced to 1 night every other weekend and 2hrs Wed. evening. Veronica told me that the judge, who happen to be a man, was a dick and that there is no justice in the family court for men. From then nothing happened in the case until my ex found another new attorney who filed an intent for relocation from WA to Canada using her unemployment as a reason just before we were to go into mediation. Veronica told me that if I don't settle in mediation the court will punish me for not having already hired GAL in the form of letting my ex take my son away from Seattle and giving me less time that I can get during the mediation. I agreed not to file an objection to the relocation and went to mediation with Veronica representing me. During the mediation she took off her top layer to intimidate me with her tattoos and muscular physic and told me that I am being an idiot and that I should have more respect for me ex. I had to tell her to back off and help me come up with a reasonable and good parenting plan as well as a realistic child support order. We ended up getting me to pay for all the transportation expenses and if my ex was to live away from Seattle I would get to see my son once a month, my ex got the full legal custody, and the parenting plan is full of loopholes that are setup in my ex's advantage. There was not much to split financially between us because during the divorce we both went broke except that I had a job and my ex quit her job as soon as we separated. Immediately after the mediation my ex informed me that she is moving to Canada with my son. Immediately after the case was filed I fired Veronica. I paid to Veronica total of $15K. After the mediation I spent most of my vacations from work on visiting my son and last year I got fired from my job. The child support division is collecting the child support as if I am employed full time and I can't afford an attorney any more. I have been homeless during the last 12 months and currently live on food stamps. My ex is still represented by the same attorney. I strongly recommend Veronica if you want to take a man down to his knees and make him suffer. She can be very aggressive and is very knowledgeable in DV matters. She doesn't entirely understand the positive influence of a father in a child's life perhaps because of her own traumatic experience with her dad--ask her about her dad when you interview her. She is very charismatic and admirably incredibility articulate. She has poor negotiation skills and prefers force than peaceful resolutions.
