  Humane Legal Warriors Veronica came billed by her referrals as “a real bulldog” though occasionally hard to reach due to high demand. In consultation she quickly grasped my situation with a few pointed questions. In court, where opposing counsel showboated or exaggerated, Veronica was calm, matter-of-fact, almost conversational. This was unnerving at first, but after our first couple rulings (favorable), I saw the other attorneys’ performances as aimed at clients, not the judges. Veronica doesn’t perform or exaggerate; She deals in facts that matter to the court, and delivers. When opposing counsel misrepresented events or twisted my statements, Veronica was quick to object sharply. I did not find her hard to reach: She seems to monitor e-mail at all hours, replying on weekends and holidays when necessary. Amy, her Chief Managing Paralegal, is fantastic - Sharp, tough, efficient, quick to recognize strategic value of details, and empathetic when needed (I needed a lot of reassurance). Divorce is awful enough, but the opacity and pace of the legal system is terrifying when family and financial matters seem to hinge on every ruling. Amy did a great job of keeping events in context of the law and our strategy, advising me on what to expect, and preparing me for each next step. She was responsive even when clearly managing a heavy case load. Working closely with her, I found myself fascinated by the process, and as another reviewer relates, at times even enjoying it. Both of them can be abrupt, perhaps an occupational hazard which I found intimidating, but came to recognize as ultimately in my best interest by not wasting time on what wasn’t material or legally advantageous. Both could also quickly switch tone when I made clear my nerves were frayed. Their small adjustments and spontaneous offerings of compassionate perspective helped me trust they were honoring their fiduciary role, and actually cared about the outcome for me and my family, not just for their scorecard. As my case unfolded, that trust was rewarded with results. Despite the opposing party hiring a big firm and spending over twice what I paid in legal fees, the court ruled decidedly in my favor at nearly every hearing, and we settled with a very reasonable financial division. Most importantly, what Veronica, Amy, and their team secured for me is beyond valuation: A fair custody arrangement, and the legal protection throughout a very contentious divorce to enable me to live my life and enjoy some of the best family moments I’ve had in years. I feel unbelievably fortunate to have had Veronica, Amy, and their team represent and guide me through an otherwise very trying ordeal.

  Veronica. Is. Amazing. Veronica. Is. Amazing. Her thirty-plus years experience shows in every aspect of her work. She's compassionate, articulate, objective, strategic, confident and real. Veronica shepherded me through the single most unsettling experience/period of my life and delivered an outstanding outcome. The team at Freitas Law is talented, fast-responding and dedicated as well.

  I hired Veronica to help me fight a lawsuit where I was the defendant. It went on for over 3 years because of how difficult my ex was. She and her amazing team were able to take on everything that came our way, making the situation not nearly as stressful on me because of how they were able to handle everything. Her knowledge of the law is formidable and I would never want to be the opposing attorney to her! Thanks to Veronica and her team, I won every step of the way and it's finally over. She helped give me my freedom and life back! I highly recommend her.

  Amazing Veronica! The moment I met Veronica, I knew that I was in good hands. I had few consultations with other family law attorneys before I came to her. I noticed that she was the only and the first one who seriously listened and wrote everything I was telling her about my hurtful marriage. Veronica and her considerate paralegal, Amy, always promptly answered my calls and emails that not only they were my legal advocates but also they were my personal advisers as well as friends. I felt that I was protected and they truly cared about me and my children's well beings. While my ex and his girlfriend did many immoral and irrational things against me and my family, Veronica helped me to make everything under control that eventually put me in a much better situation in many things including parenting plan. Veronica is knowledgeable, professional, honest, ethical and trustworthy. Words are so limited to express my appreciation to Veronica, but one thing I can definitely say is that Veronica is the right and the best one if you ever need a family law expert. I highly recommend her!

  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 divorce 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
