  • “We highly recommend her service”

    Vera is awesome! Even though we are located out of the area, she was still able to provide us with crucial information and took the time out of her hectic schedule to review our concerns. Her vast knowledge of family situations in the courtroom really gave us a clear perspective on what could happen and what to be prepared for! We highly recommend her service.

  • “Above & Beyond”

    This woman went above and beyond in my time of need she provided me with my rights to help calm me down. When dealing with crazy people trying to grasp onto your child by taking you to court is heartbreaking. She took time out of her 10 hour day work schedule to help. For free.

  • “Very Knowledgeable”

    On November 30, 2012 I contacted Vera for a consultation. She was very friendly and professional. She made me feel comfortable and at ease as though I had known her for years. She was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions and welcomed me to give her a call back if needed. I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer.

    Great person and lawyer to use. Vera took over my case from another lawyer, fixed everything that wasn't right, and did everything needed to win my case. I would recommend her to anyone that needed a great lawyer.
