I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney, Vera Livingstone. She has been a true advocate for me during a very difficult and emotional time. Her professionalism and competence, especially when navigating complex and challenging situations, are unmatched. Vera helped me secure primary physical custody of my son, an outcome I am forever grateful for. She also represented me in a trial to validate a transmutation that my son’s father was contesting, and she handled everything with such grace and skill. What stands out the most is Vera’s empathy and compassion. She truly cares about her clients and understands the human side of family law. Knowing she was on my side, guiding me every step of the way, gave me the confidence and peace of mind I needed. Her team is equally impressive—her staff and paralegal are responsive, professional, and always ready to assist. Together, they make a powerhouse team that I trust completely. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I’m forever grateful to Vera for all her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is not only highly capable but also truly cares about you and your family’s well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Vera Livingstone

Vera Livingstone went above and beyond representing me in a custody battle with my ex-wife. My situation seemed a little more complex than the usual with my ex disappearing for 5 years and moving constantly to avoid being held accountable by the court system, then resurfacing with the goal of regaining visitation. Vera immediately dove into my extensive file, making herself familiar with all the back and forth that had happened previously. She gave me sound advice and detailed a clear path on the best way to move forward. Through all the ups and downs, Vera performed brilliantly, always advocating for the best interests of my children. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and dedicated commitment to my case. If you are looking for a true professional who will be honest with you and fight to ensure your voice is heard, SHE IS THE ONE FOR YOU!

Vera Livingstone is the complete package in an attorney. You are guaranteed to get empathy, honesty and professionalism. She provides highly effective services and is passionate for her clients all throughout the duration of the process - as I can personally attest to. She made my life peaceful, stress free and made sure I had no worries about my situation and her quality of services. I totally trust her and highly highly recommend her to future clients. In my humble and honest opinion and experience with her, she’s the best in this business. Totally love, Jerome T.

I had a custody case I needed help with, I had been going to court for years and representing myself. I decided to hire an attorney since I thought I was being bullied by the other parent attorney. I hired Vera and she immediately got familiar with my case, she knew the judge and made herself familiar with the other parent's attorney. Vera was fair and honest! She prepared me for my court date and her assistant and her met me before my court date. I even received a call from her on the weekend to make sure I was ready to go and answer any questions I had before my court date. The price was reasonable, but its priceless for the amount of work she did for me.

I was referred to Ms. Livingstone by a friend of mine who had used her services for a child custody case. She came highly recommended and I reached out in hopes that Ms. Livingstone could help me with my child custody case. Not only did she help my friend who recommended her; get her child, but in my case too, Ms. Livingstone, who had mentioned to me the slim probability of receiving full custody as a single father, also was able to help me in getting full custody of my baby girl. She’s not a miracle worker, it truly is her remarkable work ethic and attention to detail that separates her service from the rest of them. I was in court with her all day and I have to admit some of the performances by other attorneys, (including some who have much higher rates than Ms. Livingstone) we’re so pathetic that I honestly felt bad for their clients having made a financial investment in faith with them all to receive such poor performance when it mattered most. In all honesty I was very concerned about the financial aspect of my case since it was decently pricey… but every single penny paid was soooo absolutely worth it the moment Ms. Livingstone opened her mouth in the court room. Her delivery came with such precise statements of fact and a clear understanding of the law I even saw the judge almost look relieved to hear from her, instead of the frustration that the judge was showing to the attorneys before her. Her demeanor was very professional and presentation was more so. She absolutely did her job but also went above and beyond for me as a client. I will never be grateful enough or be able to express fully the amount of gratitude I have that I was referred to her. She is the best option in my opinion for a custody lawyer. If she tells you to shut up, shut up, if she tells to not do something don’t do it… listen to her counsel and trust her expertise and I’m sure you will find yourself having the same results as I mentioned above… after seeing Ms Livingstone work first hand there is no where else I will go for any family law related case. Choosing Ms. Livingstone for representation IS choosing your child. I can’t recommend enough

Vera Livingstone did an excellent job representing me for a very difficult divorce case. She provided clear guidance and expert advice through this very difficult time. Our case was successful and this was all due to Vera's experience and expert advice through the entire process. She is knowledgeable and very experienced--I highly recommend Vera.

I am a licensed attorney who hired Vera to handle my own custody move-away case based on a referral from a friend. By the time Vera became involved, I had already received rulings that made my chances of prevailing at trial pretty slim. This did not deter Vera. She took my case, gave me hope, and showed me so much compassion. Vera spent the time to get up to speed, she made sense of all the evidence, and took her time getting to know me and the issues in the case. She was a fierce advocate in court, not only for me, but also for what was in the best interest of my son. She made sure my voice was heard. I ultimately prevailed at trial because of Vera's knowledge, skill, and experience in family law. I highly recommend Vera and owe her a great debt for what she was able to achieve for me and my son. As a lawyer myself and having met many lawyers, I feel confident in saying: you simply will not find a more competent and compassionate lawyer than Vera.

She handled my dissolution case with class. She allowed me to be free of worries and stress by dealing with all the paperwork. She is truly worth her weight in gold. She is an excellent lawyer, and pushes for what is best for you and family. Amazing work and amazing legal team. Thank-you!

Extremely happy with Vera's work. She has helped so much and has always been nice and polite throughout my cases.

I hired Vera to deal with a very difficult situation that arose in my private life. From the beginning, I could tell that she had the necessary experience and toughness to deal with my case. At the same time, she was compassionate about what I was going through which really helped me to recover from a traumatic personal situation. I intend to hire her again next year to take care of another family law issue. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Vera is very experienced. It's hard to find a lawyer like her! I love her court presentations! She's pleasant and direct to the point. I provided her with lots of information, but she carefully selects her talking points. I can tell that the judge has a lot of respect for her and for her words. I can't speak highly enough for Vera. She is also very hardworking, professional, caring and honest! She has a professional team: Mr. Barnes is professional and helpful!

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 recommended her to anyone that needed a great lawyer.
