Posted by Russell | November 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Representation

From my first initial consult all the way through my divorce, Vicky always had my back and always had my interests at heart. Divorce is hard, but Vicky was able to lead me through all the legal problems with my wife and it allowed me to get closure on a difficult situation and to move on with my life.... Vicky was professional and caring through the entire process and I felt very comfortable having her represent me. She was able to get the divorce resolved quickly and it was not dragged out. I highly recommend her to represent you in any family law matter.

Excellent Lawyer

From my initial contact with Vicky, I knew I was talking with someone who actually cared, especially since I had a negative experience with a previous lawyer. Her warm and thoughtful demeanor was more like that of a sister or a mom, than a lawyer. And although she was soft spoken and kind, I realiz...ed she could fight like a lion if she had to, and I always knew she had my back. She did not always agree with my view of things, and told me so, but worked with me to find an agreeable solution to each matter at hand. What I really appreciated was that I could always count on her to return each call and answer each question in a timely and thoughtful manner, helping me to bring to a close a most difficult time in my life--a divorce. I confidently recommend Vicky to represent anyone in need.

A divorce client

Vicky has helped me get through this past year, starting with paperwork for custody agreement through our mediator, then filing for divorce and drawing up terms of the divorce that my ex-husband actually agreed upon. Finally attending the settlement of my marital home. My ex-husband was actually gl...ad she attending since she helped explain the papers better than our realtor.

Superlative

Victoria Hollister represented me through a long and difficult divorce. She always kept me well-informed of progress and/or problems that arose. The divorce process was very long and frustrating due to an uncooperative ex-husband, and Victoria worked tirelessly to push toward the eventual conclusion.... I had complete trust and faith in Vicky and I would recommend her highly.

A divorce client

Vicky represented me in my divorce. She guided me through the most difficult time of my life. No question was to small and she always returned my calls immediately. She took me step by step through the process and absolutely put me at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

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.
