About Victor
Biography
I have been practicing personal injury law and workers' compensation litigation for over 23 years. Most of that time I spent representing the rights of injury victim.
I earned my Bachelor's degreein Broadcast Journalism at the University of Kansas. As an undergraduate I became interested in the law, so I decided to obtain my Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas School of Law. I am admitted to practice in both state and federal courts in both Missouri and Kansas.
I enjoy reading, watching movies, watching Jayhawk basketball and KC Chiefs football, and spending time with my wife and two children.
