Victoria Marie Mussallem

Tori is Professional, Informed, Hard-Working, and knows how to win. She's helped me with multiple cases and I always know I can trust her to get me through it. She's always quick to get back to me right away with all of the details, and no matter how worried I am about what is going on she is calm,... smart, and very reassuring. Hopefully I'm never in trouble with the legal system again, but I know I can count on Tori to stand up for me.

I was recently incarcerated for 30 days total with 2 pending second degree felony sex charges. Initially, I was completely: lost, confused, anxious, angry, and scared of the outcome of what my case was going to be, as I had done nothing wrong. In today's world, all it takes is ONE PERSON, to say that... you did something, and your entire future can be changed for the worse, even if their story is a complete fallacy. I met with 5 attorneys total prior to choosing "Tori" as she will tell you to call her, and picked her because of her: experience, professionalism, DETERMINATION, and a simple gut feeling that told me she was the one to help me. I am 29 years old, with no prior record aside from a DUI, and I have the privilege of a loving family that stood behind me during this horrible sex case debacle. Tori, was in full contact with me and my family (at my request), during the entire court proceedings. Tori has created relationships with prosecutors, other attorneys, and those you would assume would be beneficial in the "law world", and has maintained and nurtured those relationships to allow her the opportunity to assist her clients in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY. When Tori states she was going to do something, if not THAT DAY, then the very next, she was moving forward with my case. When I mentioned previously her DETERMINATION was a factor in me choosing her as my attorney let me elaborate a little on that. When I state DETERMINATION that also includes: passion for the law, a commitment to her clients, and that drive you see in her, that ambition, that knowledge, a commitment to excellence. Initially, during my first consult I thought her determination was aggressive to be honest, that it may deter a prosecutor or judge's ability to want to work with me, but it was just that, that got her to get my case DROPPED! I was facing a worse-case scenario of 30 years in prison, and now I am at home, sitting in my families house, and a little teary eyed writing this because when I think of recent events, and what could have happened, I just thank Tori so much for literally, saving my future. If you have been looking for an attorney that will fight for your best possible future, look no further, you found her.

I was in a unique situation because I had a serious 3rd degree felony case that I needed to resolve in Jacksonville, FL but I currently am living in Colorado. I was being instructed by the County Clerk's Office in Jacksonville to turn myself in to authorities to clear my situation. That was not an op...tion for me since I was just starting a new job and the need for me to resolve this case directly affected my job. I knew I needed to obtain a lawyer in Jacksonville to represent me to resolve this case. So I searched for defense lawyers in Jacksonville, FL and it had to be fate because the first lawyer that popped up in my search was Victoria Mussallem's Law Firm. When I read her firm's mission statement and read that she had never prosecuted anyone I knew this was a lawyer who would represent my best interest. Tori was kind and professional from the moment I consulted with her even calling me back after hours while she was at home with her family to provide me information that I wasn't even aware of in my case. Tori had won me over because she showed she was invested in my case before I even retained her, which I gladly did. In my case Tori assured me that she would do everything in her power to make sure that I would not have to travel from CO to FL to resolve this case. Tori kept her word. Tori asked for documents to help paint a picture of my character without me being there and illustrate that my case was one of simple mistake and not done fraudulently. Tori always kept me up to date on what was going on and I never felt out of the loop. Within a month Tori not only represented me without me being in court she got the entire case dropped with any outstanding warrants being dismissed. I am so grateful for the dedicated work Tori did on my case. She not only resolved my legal issues for me but she helped keep me in good standings with my job and that is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Tori to anyone needing a great criminal defense lawyer, she is the woman for the job! Thank you Tori for everything you did for me!!

First off, this was my first time (hopefully last time), I have to hire a lawyer for anything. It was not me, but someone very special to me that was arrested and a lot of times, it's pretty difficult for the person on "the outside" going through something like this. I hired Tori because of her great... reviews, her many years experience, she was respectful and understanding (many of them are a little rough around the edges) and that was last thing I needed. She was also very inexpensive compared to other quotes I had received. She worked a payment plan with me and asked me what I could afford. She understands your situation and how expensive "life" can be in general, and doesn't want to see you struggle just to pay her off. She ACTUALLY CARES about everyone involved. THAT was huge to me and if I have to ever hire another lawyer, she will be it. She's also very "real". She doesn't sugar-coat the potential of what could happen in court - she gives you all outcomes which was very nervous for me to hear, but it also prepares you. She's also great at communicating with you, she's easy to get in contact with and when she's busy, she will always call you back. She has great working relationships with many of the prosecutors in the area and strives for the best possible outcome for her client. In my case, what she did is what I call "a realistic miracle". He could have faced a lot more time - Tori cut the time in half of what was being offered, he was credited time that he already served and needless to say, he'll be out in 3.5 mths. I am very satisfied with Tori's efforts and I highly recommend her.

Ms. Mussallem represented me. She was very knowledgeable and on our first (and only) meeting provided me with a list of documentation that I needed to gather and send to her. She interviewed the appropriate people and provided sufficient information that the Prosecutor's office declined to file any... charges. I would certainly recommend her and would hire her again should I ever be unfortunate enough to have the need for a criminal attorney in the future. As this was the first time I had ever been in the need of a criminal attorney she did an excellent job of explaining the process, reassuring me and keeping me informed of what was going on.
