This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent knowledgeable, kind and caring

I consulted Attorney Victoria Brown Douglas on 2 separate cases for friends who had felony charges against them. I watched her in and out of court working professionally and diligently to get them justice. She is a hardworking lawyer on the cases of her clients. She treats them with dignity and res...pect, with an extremely caring heart. Lawyer Victoria is also very knowledgeable and competent in the criminal justice system and with a broad range of judicial experience. I would recommend her services to anyone seeking an excellent Attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
