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.

Veronica is fantastic. I was fortunate to find her after having started off with another very high priced attorney who was terrible. Veronica came in and immediately took charge of my case. She was incredibly thorough, and able to very quickly get up to speed. She was super responsive and thoughtful... with how she prosecuted my case. When I met her, I was in a bit of a hole due to terrible temporary orders. As the father of a five year old, custody was my main focus. My wife had been a stay at home mother, and was fighting me for even 50/50 custody. Veronica was able to provide me with fantastic guidance, and after a long and difficult process which included a two week trial, I was able to get primary custody of my daughter. This would never have been possible without Veronica. She was unbelievably effective in trial. She had complete command of the relevant facts, and presented an overwhelming argument to the court. She was succinct, clear, and unflappable. Her experience as a defense attorney is invaluable. She literally mopped the floor with the OC. If you have a difficult spouse, and a case that requires someone with "moxy", you will not find a better attorney in Seattle. She is also the most reasonable attorney I have seen in terms of how she bills. I really can not say enough positive things about Veronica, and the service she provides. If you care at all about yourself, your children, and the outcome for your case then you need to hire her before the opposing party does. I can promise you that you will be thankful you did!!!

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.

I am a dad. After being in the court system for a year and retaining two separate attorneys and volumes of declarations, testimonies and three court hearings I was to enter Family Court to keep my only child from being relocated to Europe without a trial attorney. A person that I trust and know she... does her homework before making a final decision recommended Veronica Freitas to me. She gave me one name and one option, V. Freitas Law Firm. I retained Veronica as my trial attorney in a case to establish a parenting plan and prevent an international relocation of my son. My case warranted but was lacking organization and strategic planning. Veronica’s office immediately got to work on this task and within days had a complete file in order and a game plan in place. In our first meeting Veronica clearly communicated how she would handle my case and she absolutely adhered to that approach. There were no surprises. Her approach was smart, concise, and meaningful. She was tough when necessary – and at times that was directed at me- while she was also caring and contemplative. Veronica is an impressive trial attorney. By the time we entered the courtroom she knew the details of our case and the lifestyle and behaviors of the parties and could recall events from memory throughout the trial. Most importantly Veronica was able to effectively present my case to the courts with great clarity. The trial ended in our favor. The court adopted our parenting plan preventing the relocation of my son! I however am not writing this review because we “won”. Before entering the court on the day we were to get the final decision I expressed the views I have outlined here to Veronica. Veronica is truly a gifted, experienced, accountable and caring attorney. I fully recommend Veronica Freitas and her cast of capable staff to anyone seeking a professional and caring law firm.
