About Victor
Biography
I am a trial lawyer who is passionate about providing vital advocacy (@vitaladvocacy) in difficult, high stakes or high-profile courtroom fights involving white collar criminal matters or complex civil litigation. Having tried more than 100 cases in my career, I enjoy representing clients who know that, for strategic or other reasons, plea or settlement is not an option and that they need to take their cases to trial. Essentially clients turn to me when they need to take their most important cases to ., when they need vital advocacy.
Also, I simply enjoy just being in the courtroom. If you are going to or are in court on a major or complex criminal or civil litigation matter, however your case is to be resolved, whether by settlement, plea or trial, I'm pleased to stand with and for my clients in courtrooms.
Expect to pay higher fees than other lawyers might charge.

Smart, aggressive attorney
Victor is a very skilled attorney who really listens to his client and gets great results. His aggressive, confident style is backed up by strong knowledge of the law and great personal skills. He's tough when he needs to be but can also stay calm in heated exchanges and keep a level head. In my case...
