Victor was amazing!

Another attorney had completed messed up our case, and Victor stepped in and got it straightened up. When he first took over, we were frightened, confused and angry that it had been so mishandled, and he calmed us down and aggressively took control of everything. He kept us informed every step of t...he way. He was our knight in shining armor, and I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
