ABOUT VERONICA

"Veronica Freitas is an exceptional attorney. She fully invested herself in my case; I cannot say enough great things about her. Although she has many other clients and a busy court schedule she actually took her own personal time to accompany me in a potentially dangerous situation. She comes to court fully prepared and is well equipped to deal with false information, definitely getting to the crux of the issue. Divorce cases are stressful for the client, particularly when they are dealing with constant violations of restraining orders, harassment and the desire on one parties’ agenda to financially ruin the other. Veronica handles all of these concerns with calm and wisdom. She does not suggest frivolous court appearances as other family attorneys do in order to get huge fees. Additionally Veronica returns phone calls and emails letting her client know that she indeed is aware of the issues at hand and how best to handle them. She takes the time to listen and offer suggestions as well as keeping everything on task."

She also represents individuals involved in complex child custody disputes, including those with allegations of domestic violence. Veronica frequently represents individuals involved in same-sex relationships with their family law matters.
