Not happy

I was promised the world only to find out she can't and refused to do what she initially said could be done

A M A Z I N G

Vicki is hands down the family law attorney you should call if you find yourself needing legal representation in a family court! After a recommendation from one of Vicki's prior clients, I hired her and I am so glad I did! One of the things that I did not realize before I hired a divorce lawyer is ho...w critical it is to have a skilled paralegal that loves their job and actually does their job! Mia saved me soo much money! She found things I missed and to the end was in my corner trying to help me obtain a fair divorce settlement. Mia was an absolute rock star! Mia along with the entire team picked up the case and not only was they ready on time for the fast-approaching mediation all debts and assets were accurately listed for the proposed property division. If you show up to mediation with anything less you are losing in my opinion. It is super important to be prepared and organized when attending mediation. Since the paralegal is the one you usually converse with the most (more economical that way) it is just an added bonus that when the emotions ran high that Mia was very patient and understanding but most importantly hears your concerns and does her best to help you get them solved. Vicki has a great team in her office and they all work very hard for their clients! Vicki also has an amazing junior lawyer in her office!! Judy really knows her stuff and is a huge asset for you if you are Vicki's client! The office is run very efficiently and streamlined and that will save you lots of money in the end! Vicki hung in there on a Zoom call until midnight in order for us to come to an agreement and avoid trial the following week. Not every lawyer would have done that. Most importantly, this office does what you hire them to do! They are ethical, they listen to you and they do their jobs!!!!!! I truly believe I would not have had the successful outcome I had in my divorce settlement with a mediocre lawyer. If you want that "bulldog": lawyer that has a well-run office and an AMAZING staff call Vicki you will not be disappointed!!!

Divorce case

I was fortunate enough to have Vicki and judi advocating for me throughout my divorce case. I was so overwhelmed with three young children and a full time job and truly did not have time for a divorce! There were so many details that I would have never thought of if they weren't there to guide me an...d advocate for me, they were so thorough and transparent. I needed a dependable and hard working team on my side to make sure me and my children were secure and i'm thankful that I had that team! highly recommend!

Best of Harris County!!

Hiring Vicki is the absolute best decision you can make! She showed a genuine interest in my case and was extremely thorough. She came in confident and assertive. She fought hard and left the other attorney no chance. This girl knows her stuff!!!

Simply the best

What words can I possibly use to say what is in my heart right now regarding attorney Vicki Venza. Many thanks for all her, effort, kindness, patience and knowledge of the law. We really lucked out the day Attorney John referred us to her. For such a long and agonizing process over the last few month...s, she was a ray of hope and sunshine, and I thank her for being not just a smart lawyer who could point out the law to the judge and opposing attorney but also a caring professional who was not only well prepared and on time at the court but also ready to listen to me through it all. I was crying and upset of not having seen my grandson, our finances were low. Michelle, Vicki’s paralegal, prayed for our family. Just talking or sending a text to Vicki frequently reassured us that all was well. I felt that she felt my pain. Vicki won all our cases. Mostly, I want to thank her for her guidance, for her understanding, her interest in my family, her belief that we were worth being her clients. I didn't have to come in her office every time I had question - which is praise for her legal skills - but she made an impression on me that softened my stress. We are all stronger and better because she was our attorney. We recommend Law Office of Victoria M. Venza to anyone looking for a good attorney.
