A Father Every Day - Thanks to Veronica

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.

Highly Recommend Veronica Freitas and Staff

I hired Veronica Freitas to represent me after my ex objected to the relocation of our children. Veronica and her staff were everything I wanted when dealing with this stressful situation: responsive, knowledgeable, understanding, and efficient. She explained the process and the possible outcomes, pr...epared key documents in a timely manner, and kept me informed throughout the process. With her expertise and guidance, I avoided a costly trial and was able to relocate my children. I wish I would have known of her sooner so I could have hired her as my divorce lawyer! I highly recommend Veronica and her staff.

Honest and Professional Lawyer

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

Excellent Family Law Attorney

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.

Tireless Advocate

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!
