"Veronica and her team are the best!"
Veronica and her team are the best! I had a long, drawn out, awful divorce and they were there every step of the way to answer any questions and reassure me. Ultimately, it ended in my favor because of their expertise and knowledge of the law. I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work and sleepless nights preparing.

"Veronica and her team will get it done"
Veronica, Victoria and Jessica helped tremendously during one of the worst times of my life. They made me feel supported and heard and went the distance for me through all points of my divorce. If you need someone who is caring outside of the court room but a bulldog when inside those walls, go no further than her office. When Veronica was away, I was able to work with Victoria, who was absolutely amazing. Finally, Jessica helped with my final judgement and was able to ease my mind when needed. Though multiple hands were at play, you wouldn’t have known it. Divorce is never what anyone wants, but if you need to fight for things you believe it, Veronica and her team will get it done.
