I was involved in a highly contentious divorce involving child custody and Veronica helped me make sense of the legal system and gave me the support and knowledge to make the best decisions I could for myself and my daughter. From the very start I felt comforted by her extensive experience and famili...arity with all aspects of family court. I do not believe that the outcome of the case could have turned out any better for myself and my daughter with any other lawyer.

Veronica represented me in an extremely complicated and challenging domestic violence divorce case with serious and complex safety issues. I came to her after spending a fortune on other lawyers. From the beginning she was clear and brilliant, while remaining kind and compassionate. There was no wa...sting of time or money. Upfront about time, efforts, and costs, she was spot on in all her predictions and consistent in her quick and detailed follow through. She and her staff put my children and I at the forefront of every moment we spent together. Veronica clearly had many clients when she took me on, but I always felt like I was the most important issue to her. Her razor sharp focus combined with her many years of experience really made things move along at a good pace. She cut through all the issues and got the best results possible for the safety and welfare of my children and myself. In many ways, we owe her our lives. After working with four other lawyers on this case, and consulting with half a dozen more, I can't imagine anyone doing better than Veronica, and she always remembered I was a person going through a tragedy and treated me with compassion.

Veronica was instrumental in managing my dissolution case where I ended up with exactly what I set out to achieve—joint custody of my son and an equitable division of assets from my marriage. It was critical to me that my case be handled with integrity and class, which Veronica delivered with her abi...lity to be straight-and-honest, without the need to resort to nasty tactics—unlike my ex's counsel. Veronica is a skilled negotiator, as well as an expert in managing challenging divorce and custody cases in Washington State—all of this at a reasonable rate. While you may not always like what Veronica advises, understand that because of her experience, Veronica will bring a realist mentality to your case. This is critical to have during a time that often has you too emotionally invested to see through the drama typically involved in divorce. This was especially true in my case where the courts frequently favor mothers regardless of the merit of the father. That said, as a father, I'm thrilled with the way we were able to achieve the outcome I initially set out for. A few "good to knows"— • Get involved in your case and be sure that you provide the information needed to facilitate everything (financials, correspondence, etc.) by the deadlines. It doesn't matter how good your attorney is. Without the necessary documentation, your case will be weak. • Be organized. News to me, there's a lot that goes into getting divorced. This is especially true if the other party plays "nasty" and you need prove your side to complete strangers who will influence your outcome more than you ever realized (judges, commissioners, evaluators and so on). • Trust. Know what you're willing to put up with and what you're willing to let go of. Veronica kept focused on what I communicated during our initial meeting and, while it didn't seem to make sense when we were in the midst of the battle, once we got to mediation, everything came together and we were able to complete the case before going through a costly and emotional taxing trial.

There are not enough positive words to describe what an incredible job Veronica did handling my case. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, smart, hardworking attorney that can stand toe to toe with any attorney and fight for you then look no further. I would recommend Veronica to anyone that need...s a family law attorney, I feel there is no better family law attorney in the Seattle Area.

I was fortunate enough to have found Veronica after many phone calls with shady attorney's who were quick to mention payment method right away and did not care about my case. Veronica has a deep human side to her and I really appreciated her attention and professionalism. My case was well presented a...nd she was very patient with me. In a perfect world everything would go according to plan but one must be realistic about the complexity of certain cases in which even the best attorney may be helpless sometimes. I write this in regard to a negative review that I read about Veronica which I found it to be unfair. Much of the good work done in her office is a function of the excellent paralegal that works with Veronica and keeps you updated on case progress. I would recommend Veronica anytime.
