Posted by Tim | December 04, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Poor judgement and

I had a wrongful termination suit for which I hired Victor. My first question to him was whether it was worth going forward. His judgment was that it was--as it turned out he was wrong in that. But I had to pay for his miscalculation not him. I know there are no crystal balls that can see the future,... but what was worse than his poor judgement is that he claimed an exorbitant number of hours which he did not discuss with me and I did not authorize. So not only did he lose my case, but he was consistently slow to respond in a fast moving situation, and I ended up getting over $6000 bill for his unauthorized work. I would only recommend him as a lawyer for somebody you dislike.

Best lawyer I have worked with

The Victor and Rose deJong team is just great. They are responsive like a smaller firm, but with top notch talent like a larger firm. They can help you with whatever you need from corporate/transactional work to litigation. Victor helped me through a few franchising and non compete agreements ...and I could not have asked for more. Thank you!

Criminal case

Victor has been fantastic in my defense and has far exceeded my expectations. He has demonstrated extreme professionalism, and been very responsive and knowledgeable in helping me both understand and navigate my difficult case. Additionally, he has made me feel like he holds a personal concern in get...ting me the best outcome. There is not another attorney whos judgment and recommendation I would personally trust more than Victor.

President and Owner of two Milwaukee area companies

I have known and worked with Victor and Rose & jeJong for multiple cases and business matters. He has successfully defended me twice in non-compete lawsuits and a severance dispute with a past employer. I've had tremendous success in my field and career and have successfully sold one company and st...arted two new companies with the help and guidance of Victor. He's intelligent, well-read, listens to you and cares about your reputation and outcome of the case. I'm proud that Victor and Rose & deJong have been my lawyer and legal firm for nearly twenty years in business.
