Victoria Marie Mussallem

My husband was in immediate need of an attorney, which came as a shock to me. Socially, we know a dozen of them. When I contacted several, in a panic, and the same name kept coming up, I figured Tori could likely help us. Tori exceeded our expectations. I have never been in this situation. She w...as so very polite, calm and comforting when dealing with my husband and I. Tori never spoke down to us or judged us. She always dealt in facts and kept in consistent contact with me. Maybe this is her way or maybe she realized I needed to hear from her frequently, even when there was nothing to update me on. Tori was able to secure significantly reduced bail for my husband, refer me to a very responsive and compassionate bail bondsman, and quickly resolve the matter - with all charges dropped. Should I ever need a criminal defense attorney again, the only call I’ll make will be to Tori. She even put up with me hugging her several times, and I don’t think she’s much of a hugger. What can I say? She saved the day and our lives as we know it. We are eternally grateful.

I hired Tori to represent me in a "sexual contact with a minor" charge. She asked me what I wanted to get in terms of an offer from the prosecutor. I told her to keep me out of prison, keep me off of the Sex Offenders List and keep me from being labeled as a Felon. After 3-4 months of going back and ...forth with the prosecutor, Tori was able to get my charges knocked down to "child abuse" and offer me a deal of 6 months county jail, 5 years probation and my charges to be considered a Withheld Adjudication instead of a Felony. "No Felony, no Prison, no Sex Offenders List!!!!!" After 2.5 years of my probation, I rehired Tori to represent me for a motion for early termination of my probation. She got this approved immediately so that I only did half of my 5 year probation. My bad decisions could have shadowed me for the rest of my life with the charges I was originally facing but thanks to Tori and her willingness to go to the mat for me, 3 years later, I can put this behind me with just a hard lesson learned. I would hire Tori again in a second if I needed to but I'm hoping I will never have that need again. Tori is very intelligent, she understands how the world works and what it takes to get the job done. Tori is very professional and depenable. Tori Mussallem is definitely the one you want representing you.

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 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!!

A rather unfortunate circumstance led me to retain Tori's services for my daughter. As an outsider to the legal system, I felt very scared about my daughter's future. Tori assured me that she would do everything in her power to ensure the best outcome for her. I am the first to acknowledge that I ...was not a patient parent and, at times, frustrated by the long process. However, Tori delivered on her promise and my daughter's life will forever be changed for the better because of Tori's advocacy for the best possible outcome. I recommend Tori wholeheartedly.
