Professional and passionate

Tori represented me in a recent family law case and I couldn't be happier with her professionalism, knowledge and passion. I truly felt like she was on my side and would work hard to get a fair outcome for my situation. She demonstrated exceptional patience when dealing with my questions and was alwa...ys ready to explain the "why" behind the scenes. I have already recommended her services to a close friend and would recommend her to anyone looking to have a true pro in your corner.

Excellent

When I filed for divorce, I hired Victoria Paton from [redacted] to serve as my attorney. I am so glad I did. Throughout the process she was kind, helpful, a strong advocate for my interests, and kept me informed at all times. I ended up with a result far better than I expected. I cannot reccomend he...r highly enough.

Child custody

Tori is awesome! She is professional, hard working and trustworthy. I felt confident in putting my case in her hands knowing she was working hard to fight for my kids and I. One thing I really appreciated is she doesn’t sugar coat anything, she will tell you how it is and we all need honesty! Highly ...recommend!!

Compassionate and Helpful

I have consulted with Victoria several times and she has always gone above and beyond for me. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and kind, Victoria does everything she can to help her clients and advocate for their needs. 10/10 would recommend.

Knowledgeable and empathetic

Victoria was part of my legal team representing me in my high conflict divorce. So me the case is still pending I can’t share many details, however. Victoria was great at understanding me and showing empathy. She advocated to those I needed her to advocate to. Highly recommend her.
