Victoria Marie Mussallem

Ms. Mussallem literally took my case the day I turned myself in. She defended me for a probation violation due to a clerical error in my paperwork. Not only did she come visit me in jail while the Judge put my case off for 65 days, she also kept my family informed and was completely honest about my c...hances and what she could do. She fought for me valiantly, and I was released from jail and put back on probation with revised paperwork. I called her out of desperation because I had already hired another lawyer who was completely incompetent. Thank you so much Ms. Mussallem. I could never express my gratitude for your representation.

I hired Victoria to help me with my probation violation. I was in jail and had been dealing with two very weak public defenders who did nothing to help me until the day before my disposition, I hired Victoria three days before I went to court and she managed to get me put back on probation and credi...t for time served and I am now out of jail leading a new probation. This was the third time I had called Victoria to help me with my case and she always delivers a very positive result, but she always lets you know the odds that may be against you too, she visited me in the jail w/out me even having to call her, and she did it willingly and with compassion to me and my family. I want her to know I appreciate all her help one more time, and let her and anyone else that may be experiencing a criminal charge that she is a great person to have defending your case ...especially if you are stuck in the jail and not knowing what to do and feeling really helpless....Victoria may not reign yet, but she most definiately rules the courtrooms of Jacksonvilles criminal cases....Thank you so much again, Tori....I know one day you will be Judge if not State Attorney ....High Five and thanks again from me and my family....DG

I was arrested for Possession of Marijuana Under 20 Grams in Duval county. I am from out of state, a working professional, and it would have been devastating to have a drug charge on my record. I spoke with many lawyers regarding my case. Some suggested I plead no contest, some suggested differed adj...udication, etc etc. The only result I would have been happy with was charges dropped because a drug charge, however small, would have been detrimental to my career. Tori Mussallem understood that, and although she could not GUARANTEE my desired outcome, she convinced me that she would fight for my case. Tori always had constant contact and communications with me and kept me in the loop on EVERYTHING that was going on in my case. Being from out of state, I was not eligible for many of the instate programs, but Tori worked me out a deal that could not have been better! I had to do 10 hrs community service, and complete a drug evaluation... THAT'S IT! Within two days of submitting proof that the requirements were filled, I received the letter that my charges had been DROPPED. Thank you Tori, I couldn't have done it without you!

Victoria Mussallem is an outstanding criminal defense lawyer who cares about her clients very deeply. I was facing twenty-five to thirty year for a sex crime that I did not commit. If found guilty my life would have never been the same. Needless to say we went to trial and Mrs. Victoria performed lik...e a champion. She represented me with a heart of lion. She was assertive, tenacious, knowledgeable and maintained a high integrity at all time. It goes without saying that Mrs. Victoria won the trial against the state, thus today I am a free man. I highly recommend Mrs. Victoria to anyone interested in the best criminal lawyer here in Jacksonville. I would never wish what I went through on anyone and nor would I ever want to go through it again, but if it was not for God and Mrs. Victoria I would not be a free man today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and all of my family thanks you as well. Thank you very much!!

From the very first phone contact Ms. Mussallem was responsive. After calling her office and speaking to her secretary to schedule an appointment she personally called back. She seemed genuinely concerned about the situation. On this phone call she demonstrated her knowledge about the case, we disc...ussed my concerns, her experience in this area of law and our expectations. During this conversation I was not rushed but was encouraged to ask any questions I may have. After meeting Ms. Mussallem and hiring her to take the case she took immediate action and went to the jail to visit my son who was facing a charge that carried a 25 year to life sentence. She shared her assessment of his demeanor and kept me informed step by step on the progress of the case. Ms. Mussallem diligently worked on the case until charges were totally dropped !!!
