Absolute Best

Vicki is the absolute best. She was my lifeline throughout a very traumatic time in my life. Her expertise and dedication are unmatched and her commitment and compassion for her clients is beyond measure. She never gives up and she won’t let her clients either. I will be forever grateful . She is a c...onsummate professional and a beautiful person inside and out.

Family Law

Vicki is hands down one of the best attorneys I have met. I knew from the first day I met her she was dedicated and determined. She got on her computer and went right to work. It’s been a long battle trying to keep my family safe and having the feeling like no one cares. It’s so nice to finally feel ...heard and to know that Vicki will fight hard for my family, it has given me a sense of relief and peace of mind. I’m so thankful I hired her, and I have no doubt she will continue to go to battle for my family, because she truly does care. I’d recommend her to anyone who is in need of a top-notch attorney and needs someone who definitely has your best interest at heart. She is definitely one of the best and you won’t regret hiring her.

"Period, paragraph"- Vicki`s Trademark

I am truly beyond grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Vicki Francois during one of the darkest times in my life. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care helped me win custody of my son, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without her. From the moment I met Vicki,... I knew I was in good hands. She not only fought tirelessly for my case, but she also provided me with emotional and spiritual support when I felt like I had nowhere else to turn. She showed a level of compassion that I didn’t even know was possible from a lawyer. Vicki truly cares about her clients and their families—she’s a rare gem in the legal field. One of the most remarkable things I witnessed was how Vicki went above and beyond, even doing a pro bono case for a Hispanic family whose child was abducted. She won the case in less than a week, demonstrating her incredible skill, dedication, and deep sense of justice. Vicki and her paralegal, Barbara, are an outstanding team. Barbara’s efficiency, professionalism, and warmth made everything feel smooth and manageable, and I’m so grateful for their partnership. Together, they are not only exceptional professionals but also strong, inspiring female role models. I can say without a doubt that Vicki and Barbara are two of the most amazing women I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Their strength, intelligence, and integrity have made a profound impact on my life. I wholeheartedly recommend them both to anyone in need of legal help. If you are fortunate enough to work with them, you will know that you are in the best hands possible.

Excellence at law

The best family lawyer, criminal expertise and even in my case for a small traffic violation, she was right at the point and knew exactly what to do. No more worries or headaches, and my case was resolved immediately.
