Stright Shooter

I spoke with several attorneys and from the first conversation with Victor he was stright about what he could do to help my situation. He laid out all of the possibiities and his plan to combat each. He kept me informed each step of the process and was able to get my case dismissed. His fees are very... reasonable, I highly recommend.

Review

Coming into his office was a very easy thing to do. Had many great recommendations and decided to go with victor. The process for me was very easy and stress-free under his environment. Victor was very straightforward, honest, and worked very fast. Helped me with any questions that I ever had on my... case, had always looked to the brighter side of things. With the charge that I had, I was a little concerned about what to do, but With Victor‘s help I was able to get the DUI moved down to a wreck less driving. It is no longer on any of my records, completely gone and taken off all files and not even able to look up anymore on the Internet. I thought my life was crashing down until I stepped foot into his office as a 21 year old. You never want to have something like that on your record. I feel very appreciative on the day of court. He stood tall with me no judgment ever looked straight into the eyes of fear. He took my nerves away and made everything such a wonderful process. There should be absolutely no hesitation to hire him as a lawyer, he is the best. My family is very appreciative of him and his staff for working with us, he’s the best.

Great lawyer!

I am a college student who has never been in legal trouble until recently. I was given a charge that could have gone on my legal record and this concerned me. I did not want something like this to ruin my hopes of landing a great job when I graduate, so I wanted to fight. Not knowing what to do or h...ow to get out of the situation, a close friend recommend Mr. Victor Li. He was excellent! Mr. Li was honest and helpful throughout the entire process about my odds in winning the case and the different options I had. His eagerness and confidence in his abilities helped me to relax and be able to trust him to do his job. He fought for and believed in me the entire time, with a winning end result in our favor. I will definitely use Mr. Li for any legal issue that I may encounter in the future and would refer him to all of my friends and family.

Victor Is The Best

I am more than satisfied. Victor Li literally upholds his motto of "You Deserve The Best Defense." Immediately Victor provided the consultation with the utmost truth, laid out the facts and spoke to me as a friend, rather than as a lawyer. He gave me real insight at how to best handle my situation wi...th no pressure at all. Victor continuously impressed me at his work ethic, his honesty, his integrity and his immediate responses. After being consulted by over three different lawyers regarding my situation, Victor far surpassed any lawyer because of his honesty, integrity and he literally got right to it. Victor is not your typical lawyer. Victor gets right to it. He does not waste time, he does not sugar coat anything. He tells it like it and that is the best way to handle legal situations. Victor is real and straightforward. I truly recommend Victor Li for legal situations. 10/10. You will be extremely pleased with your decision to use Victor Li in legal representation.

Excelllent Legal Representation

I'm not a professional criminal; however, I have made a few mistakes that required legal representation in General Sessions Court on a few occasions. I met Victor leaving my first or second appearance in General Sessions court and asked him if he was a Criminal Defense Lawyer and he said yes. He told... me to come by his office for a Free Initial Consultation to discuss the facts of the case to determine the next course of action. Long story short I was facing 10 years on an Assault/Battery High Aggravated Nature and Pointing and Presenting a Firearm Charges. The only thing Victor promised to do was to represent me to his fullest capacity and that was fair enough. I didn't have any other choice anyway! I plead to guilty because I was guilty; however, I was sentenced to 1 year probation with a fine! I was so happy! Last case i would like to share involved a DUI. I was pulled over one mile from Clemson rd for driving over the posted speed limit. I was asked to step out the car and asked to participate in a field sobriety test. I refused the test. I was taken the jail and bonded out. However, my drivers license privileges were revoked. Subsequently, i was released and contacted Victor Li. He initiated his investigation and determined that the dash camera had not recorded the traffic stop!!! The DUI was thrown out; however, I was guilty of implied consent because once you accept a Drivers License in SC you basically agree to submit to testing. I had my license revoked for 6 MONTHS if i can properly remember but that's better than a DUI conviction because i did not have to get SR-22! Plus, I drive Trucks for myself now and I do very well! Im able to support my family and I would not be able to do so if it were not for Victor Li. I dont want to disclose my name on this public forum but if you do not believe me ask Victor and if you need my conformation or further input directly ask him and he will put you in contact with me personally!
