very difficult custody case

I had great communication and advice in what was a very difficult custody case. My wife had a long CPS history and drug abuse history. She initially got primary custody of my children by filing a false request for order of protection. I was ordered to do a 1 year domestic violence class. I am a black... male and my wife was hispanic. My chances of getting primary custody seemed grim. Veronica came highly recommended to me from another attorney. She not only got me primary custody of my children, but got a 10 year no contact order with my former wife and wife's family. The case involved a kidnapping and Veronica gave me excellent advice to hire a Colorado attorney where my wife took the children. This was after Veronica figured out that the State of Washington Child Find Detective refused to help my case. Veronica performed her services over a 1 1/2 period until trial. Her fees were reasonable and I was never over charged. I cannot thank her and her staff enough. I am now primary custodial parent of my two 7 and 8 year old sons. I would recommend her to anyone.

The best lawyer I've ever had

Veronica has the uncanny ability to be as gentle as a lamb to clients...truly empathizing with them and understanding what they have been through... to being a total bulldog in the courtroom. I am still in awe at what I observed of her, many months after my trial. She has such a personable way abou...t her. She makes you feel like you could be her best friend in real life. Calming, reassuring and also humorous. If your case involves a trial, know that Veronica will be there to defend you like no one else. My particular case was filled with extreme conflict, and I went into the first day of trial feeling fearful and even tearful. By the second day of trial, after seeing Veronica work her magic, I was relieved, calm, and for the first time in a long time, felt truly defended. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to defend me. I could not have asked for a better outcome for my case, and I owe it all to Veronica for being so wonderful through it all. I would highly recommend her as a lawyer to anyone. She is both extremely personable and also very professional. A rare combination for a lawyer indeed.

Absolutely the best attorney!

Finding Veronica was the "sign" from above; hiring Veronica, was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Veronica knows the family law inside and out, and she's the best attorney you'll find to truly represent you and fight for your best interest! I was in a very difficult situation. My e...x-husband coerced me into a bad deal, giving promises that he never kept. I was facing eviction with my little daughter and had no way of supporting myself and her while being a full-time student. Veronica, and her team, stood not only by me, she fought for my case like it was her own. Veronica was able to get the old orders vacated and, after months of fight and all sorts of things pulled by my ex, get myself and my daughter fair orders in place. The case was settled in mediation and everyone felt a winner! Veronica also is very efficient and cuts the BS, which saved a lot of $$$ for me. I have tremendous respect for Veronica and admire her work! I'm forever grateful! Thank you Veronica!

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

An excellent lawyer

Veronica took over my very complex custody case which involved international adoption, along with out of state living implications.Thanks to her brilliant, strategic mind and her passion for cases that are a challenge, we ended up with the right decision for the children. My family is very thankful f...or Veronica's excellent work, and will be forever indebted to her for all that she has done. An added bonus to all of this was that she did her best to keep us out of trial and did not try and nickel and dime us through the process. I've dealt with many lawyers in the past, and she has been the most honorable and transparent.
