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.

Divorce Lawyer

BEST divorce attorney EVER! Divorce can be a very difficult thing to have to go through, however it helps when you have the right people walking alongside you in the final decision making process. If you find yourself facing the possibility of a divorce, I highly recommend Victoria Mendoza. She will... give you legal advice, options you may have in moving forward. Call her today for your consultation. it's better to know you are legal rights than to assume that what the other person is saying is the only option you have. Be informed and EMPOWERED! Call Victoria Mendoza today!

So Glad I Found Vicki

I had never spoken with a lawyer and I suddenly needed one to ensure I knew my rights as a father and how best to move forward in regards to custody of my child. A family friend recommended Vicki and luckily I took their advice. Vicki is very professional and took the time to work with me and made... sure I fully understood the whole process and was with me every step of the way. I was very worried at first considering I had never been in a situation like this. Vicki was always willing to reassure me and and answer any questions that would inevitably pop up along the way. Nobody wants to be in a situation where they need legal counsel, especially a child custody case or divorce. But if you do, you want a good lawyer in your corner, believe me. I was so pleased with the service I received that I went back to Vicki again a couple years later when circumstances changed and I needed to have changes made to custody. We just completed the process this month and my child now lives with me full time and we couldn't be happier. I have been, and will continue to recommend Vicki to all of my friends and family whenever the need arises.

Professionalism at it's Best!

I hired Vicki to be my lawyer for my divorce case- it was an amicable divorce, that still had its obstacles-property to divide, child support, custody, etc. She was very knowledgeable, handled anything and everything I brought to her in a timely manner, very detail oriented and kept me informed along... the way. On a side note-In my court hearing as the judge was signing the final decree- the judge made a comment on how well my lawyer, Vicki, had everything put together, organized and filed correctly. That she only sees a case like that once or twice a year. Needless to say I was very satisfied and would highly recommend Vicki to anyone needing representation.
