We were fortunate enough to be directed to Veronica and her team to represent us in a legal challenge. Although it was not her specialty of law she walked us through the process and represented us in court. She's forward and no nonsense which we appreciated. I hope to never have to use any legal services in the future but if I do, I will return to her for legal advice or representation.

I was recommended Veronica and her firm by a friend of the family. My soon to be ex-husband is a very challenging person to work with and my number 1 goal through the entire process was to do what is fair and what is right. I appreciate that Veronica and her firm helped to support me in those desires while protecting me from being bullied by my ex. They helped me not only navigate through the divorce and mediation process, but also helped with communications with the ex when he was less than appropriate on numerous occasions. They helped remind me that the boundaries I had set around my children

Veronica was recommended to me through a close friend, at a time when I was at my lowest. I'd just been assaulted by my husband of nearly 20 years, who was/is a complete textbook covert narcissist. As soon as we met for the consultation I just knew I was in good hands and that Veronica would fight the good fight for me in my divorce. It was a grueling 12+ months but through the whole thing Veronica never lost sight of our goals and in the end I got what was fair and just. I truly believe I would not have gotten the outcome we did had I hired another attorney.

I was in a bad place and had been there for about 4 years (not jail but in the court system). I had another attorney and I just kept dumping more and more money into his law firm without any positive results. My situation started in criminal and civil courts, the criminal court was taken care of the first couple months when 9 witnesses who I didn't even know came forward and said I was innocent. But no matter how much I gave and how hard I tried, the civil courts just kept pushing me further and further onto a hole I wasn't sure if I'd ever get out of. Finally I asked a friend to get me a recommendation

Veronica is an amazing trial attorney. I highly recommend her for high conflict cases heading to trial. I had retained another well known firm in Seattle for the first half of my case which drained me financially and did not help my case. Veronica became my attorney 3 months before my trial she got up to speed quickly and cost me a fraction of what the other firm had charged. She was the best thing that ever happen to me.
We identified 3 goals I wanted to achieve from trial and she got them all for me. We had over week and half trial with many witnesses. I had an expert witness not in my favor

Calling and emailing other attorneys to only hear sorry I don't have enough time to take your case. (Sound familiar?). Quick note I only had 2 weeks before my first case and Veronica was the only attorney that was able to squeeze me in.
Well I was fortunate enough to have two attorneys in my search that mentioned Veroinca Freitas!!! Let me tell you that making that call to Veronica was the best thing I have done for my child.
Compasionate, Caring, Thoughtful and most of all Understanding. Is she aggressive? YES! Does she put her clients first? YES! Does she get results? Most Definitely YES!

Veronica Freitas and her team went above and beyond to fight for me in a custody case to insure my son resided with me, his Mom. She is an excellent listener, articulate, thoughtful, and compassionate. Her paralegal, Amy, touched base with me daily and helped me navigate through an extremely emotional & stressful case. She made sure I had all of the valuable & necessary information needed to win my case. When the opposing lawyer attempted to bend the laws in their favor, she was quick to point out the inadequacies in their argument and poked many holes in their case. As a result, the case was dismissed

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 primary custody of my kids. Veronica is brilliant, compassionate, professional, efficient, and direct. And 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

I once was in a hearing with Veronica, where I asked if she would please stop engaging in name calling she interrupted me and told me those were the rules the judge gave me. I asked if we both followed the same rules. She got so angry she threw her cup of water across the room. The judge looked at her, and told her to knock it off and had to remind her that she is also a human, and that she, despite her apparent ego, is liable to the SAME rules everyone else is.
I Yes, Veronica " won" against me, but not ethically. She did so by being a bully, mis using the rules of evidence, encouraging

Veronica represented me in a divorce case and my experience has left me with a distrust and disrespect for the profession. Although she handled my case 4 years ago, the negligence of her representation has left me traumatized and non-responsive until now.
She failed to do the research in my case that would have gained the facts to reach a fair agreement. If I did not follow up with the retirement plan, I would have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. When Veronica is questioned she becomes angry, belittling, yells and swears. She is unethical and retaining her would be a mistake.

Over three years ago, I was blessed to retain Veronica as my family law attorney. She and her amazing staff have been invaluable walking alongside me during a challenging situation.
I was blind sided by ex-husband's decision to leave our marriage of 17+ years. He forced me to sign an agreement that demanded my kids and I to move across the county, limited my cusody and provided no financial support. From the moment of my consultaion with Veronica, she had an accurate read on my situation and advised me on what to expect from the court system and my ex-husband. Her recommendations were not

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

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 for 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

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.
