The Perfect Blend

Victoria Paton is an amazing attorney. I wish I never had to change her and I could have her presenting my case. I regretfully admit that my initial judgment of Victoria Paten was entirely false. -Victoria Paten – is a perfect blend of professionalism + sympathy for client (when going through a se...paration, especially with a high conflict case like mine, it is important to have an attorney on your side who is not callous in regards to what you are going through and includes you in every step) + advocacy (she fights for you in a way that you feel this is a personal matter to her and she cares about your child just as much as you do) + fierceness (especially important when the opposing counsel utilizes unethical approaches to win at all cost). If I had the option to go back to her and afford their firm, I would have run back to her, full speed!

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.

Helpful and Responsive

Victoria Paton assisted me with a large transition in my life. I always felt comfortable voicing my concerns to her, knowing that she would give me honest and comforting guidance/advice in return. She kept me informed and updated every step of the way. I would highly recommend the attorneys.

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!!
