The Great Hope

If you’re looking for an attorney who has empathy, will give you the facts regarding your case, who can lead you in the right direction or give you a referral, you’ve come to the right place! Victoria is an absolute angel & I truly adore her! I would recommend her to anyone & I’ve had family members ...who already reached out to her previously. My case in particular was regarding an estate\ will. Victoria helped me a lot. I was going through it emotionally & her genuine spirit guided me along the way. I thanked her for being so patient. I had a family member pass in 2020 during the pandemic & everything was delayed! I’m just now getting paperwork from the state in 2023. It’s been a long road & Victoria has been there every step of the way assisting me. I will always go to her. I’ve have covid twice & been laid off during this whole ordeal. And Victoria has always been understanding & caring. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney. Victoria is thorough, organized & concise. Overall Victoria gets the job done. Look no further! Victoria helped me save money from creditors & believes in being cost efficient.

Rock Star!

I hired Victoria to assist me in a challenging trust situation. Her knowledge and expertise were beyond extensive. She was compassionate, listened, used her knowledge as well as life experience to make decisions that were best served in my situation. Victoria will be my recommendation for anyone who ...needs a probate, estate or family law attorney. If you are deciding between other attorneys, look no further.

Victoria is compassionate, knowledgeable, and diligent

When my mother died almost 1000 miles away from us without a will, we had no idea what to do or what was required of us. Victoria took the time to explain the process to me and held my hand the entire way. Victoria was kind and extremely considerate. She did her job extremely well, but was always ...looking out for me and how best to make my retainer work for me. I will forever be grateful to Victoria for making this terrible, heart wrenching process bearable.

Exactly what I needed

Victoria waa both professional and compassionate throughout the entire probate process. My father's passing was unexpected and unprepared. I was left scrambling to take care of everything by myself, while mourning my loss. Victoria took care of everything on the legal aspect and was extremely patient... with me as I asked thousands of questions (and broke down in tears several times). I hope to never need her again personally, but I would recommend her to anyone that is in need of a probate lawyer.

An attorney who cares

I contacted Victoria Sloan immediately after my Mother had unexpectedly passed. We were not prepared emotionally or legally. My Mother did not have a Will or a Trust set up and had just built a new home in addition to owning other property and accounts. Not only was I reeling from the loss of my o...nly parent, I was overwhelmed with the sense of losing everything she had worked so hard for in life. Victoria was very understanding and reassuring. She took the reins and navigated my family through the legal system painlessly with positive results. During this time, she and her team came across some interesting medical information that might give us the answer as to what might have caused my Mother's death. The team immediately took the necessary steps to investigate, at their expense. I was astounded from what they discovered and that they were willing to go that extra mile to get the answers my family was looking for. When I think of Victoria, I think of the person who really cared when I really needed them to. Needless to say, we now have Wills, Trusts and any other legal documents we may need! Other members of my family have retained Victoria’s services as well and are very pleased with that decision.

She makes the most complicated matters seem easy and has been an invaluable resource to myself and my clients on many occasions.
