About Victor
Biography
I am very blessed to be a lawyer. Every day I know I make a difference in the lives of those people who trust their matters to me and my firm. I take that duty very, very seriously, and I get enormous personal satisfaction from helping our clients reach their objectives.
I am certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Civil Trial Attorney, and also a member of the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Established in 1993, membership in the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.
I am proud to have again been selected to the list of New Jersey Super Lawyers and to have been selected every year since 2006 marking 2025 my 20th consecutive year of selection. I earned and have maintained the highest rating of AV Preeminent from Martindale-Hubbell and have also earned a Client Gold rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
I am admitted to practice in all New Jersey Courts, U.S. District Courts, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Tax Court. I'm a member of the Hunterdon County Bar Association and chair of its Bench/Bar Liaison and Unauthorized Practice of Law Committees. I also serve on the Civil Practice committee and as a commentator at the Institute for Continuing Legal Education (ICLE). Previously, I taught trial practice to lawyers as an Adjunct Faculty Member of Hofstra University School of Law’s Trial Advocacy Program with The National Institute for Trial Advocacy Program. I am an Arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association with the New Jersey Courts. Additionally, I have been appointed by the Court as a Discovery Master in complex contentious litigation.
