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!

Cannot Recommend Highly Enough

I made the decision to hire Victor on the recommendation of several friends for a case regarding a first-time DUI. Needless to say, I cannot echo those recommendations enough. Victor is a notably well-seasoned and connected legal professional with a level of consummate professionalism and personabili...ty that truly sets him apart. He was always on the ball when it came to keeping me up to date, and always went the extra mile to answer any and all of the innumerable questions I brought him. More so, seeing as my case was the first (and hopefully, last) time I've been on the wrong side of the law, Victor's commitment to providing top-notch counsel worked wonders for putting my mind at ease throughout the entire process. I normally avoid giving a perfect rating for anything, lest I dilute the weight of a truly exceptional product or service, but in this case, when it's potentially your future on the line, it's certainly worth having an attorney worth every ounce of the five-star rating. Look no further: Victor is fantastic.
