Vik achieved an excellent result for me. He was available, explained things thoroughly, and generally followed through on all aspects of the representation. He did all that for a very fair price.

Vik was assigned to me as a my Court Appointed Attorney in January after I'd been struggling for 13 months to convince the court that I was unable to afford adequate conceal. I was one of those people who believed that court appointed lawyers didn't work as hard for their assigned clients as they do ...
"Vik is a top-tier criminal defense attorney. He has a sterling reputation in the legal community, and has successfully tried many cases to juries (both as a former felony prosecutor and in private practice). Vik is a truly dedicated advocate for his clients, and is respected by judges and prosecutors alike. I endorse him without hesitation."
"Vik is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He is very knowledgeable in the law, a strong advocate for his clients and always very well prepared in any adversarial setting. He will fight for his clients."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"I Have known Vik for 10 yrs, since law school. He is a fighter. If you have a tough situation you need help getting out of, he's your guy."
"Vik is a knowledgeable, ethical, dedicated, and effective advocate. His experience as a former prosecutor allows him to bring valuable insight and perspective to the table and he has a spotless reputation for integrity among both his clients and fellow attorneys. Vik has also demonstrated time and again that he will go to trial for his clients if the situation objectively merits it, rather than taking an unreasonable plea offer. I highly recommend him for anyone who may need a criminal attorney."
"I endorse Vik Vij. He's an extremely passionate criminal defense attorney who truly cares about his clients and their well-being. Vik is very well respected in the legal community and I have never heard any prosecutor or criminal defense attorney, say anything negative about him or his work. He will go above and beyond for his clients and will make sure his clients understand every facet of their case. You can't go wrong if you hire him. He's truly a blessing. I highly recommend him."
"I had the pleasure of working with Vik on a felony theft matter when he was still working as a prosecutor. He was professional and knowledgeable then and is still now that he is a Defense Attorney."
"Mr. Vij is a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney. In all my dealings with him he has been prepared, forthright, and effective."
"I highly endorse this attorney. Mr. Vij is a proven litigator, a compassionate advocate, and a very seasoned professional. He has a wealth of knowledge about the criminal process, and works very hard for his clients."
"I heartily endorse Vik Vij. I've known him since his early days as a prosecutor in Galveston County, and have worked both against and with him. He knows the law, and is fantastic in front of a judge or jury. He also has a rare quality - not being afraid to take a tough case to trial. You can't do any better than Vik."
"I endorse this lawyer. Vik is a great lawyer. I've known him from his days as a prosecutor through his transition into a great defense attorney. His poise, skill, and heart for litigation make him a formidable force in the courtroom. I'd recommend him without hesitation."
"I knew Vik when he was a Prosecutor for the Galveston County District Attorney's Office. I know Vik today as an outstanding Defense Attorney. Vik recently relayed to me a story that sums up why he is a great Defense Attorney. Vik called a client who had been in trouble with the law before to tell that client that his felony case was dismissed that day. His client broke down in tears and told Vik that he had been in and out of the system since he was a kid. His client said he had never been treated like a human being before. His client also said he'd never been treated with dignity before. Through his tears he thanked Vik over and over. Vik cares for his clients."
"Vik is a hardworking and very sharp lawyer. He is great under pressure and has a good reputation with Judges and in the community. I endorse this lawyer!"
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Having worked together with Mr. Vij on a great number of cases, I can vouch for his skills as an attorney. Vik possesses the ability to analyze complex legal principles and discern complicated facts. Vik's negotiation skills are matched only by his trial skills. Mr. Vij treats each case as if it were his own. If you find yourself in trouble in the greater Houston area, call Vik."
"I worked with Vik for many years as a fellow prosecutor in Galveston County. I had the pleasure of working with him in court almost everyday. I have also been fortunate enough to try many difficult criminal cases with Vik. I have been a witness to his abilities and know him to be a strong advocate who is always thoroughly prepared."
"Vik is one of best attorney's I know. He has a great amount of experience with the District Attorneys office and now he's putting that experience the work for clients as a defense attorney. Anybody needing a defense attorney would do well in hiring Vik to represent them."
