This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She is a fighter!!!

From the first phone call I knew I was in good hands. The onboarding and execution went as seamless and frictionless as I could have expected. Vicki was the lawyer I choose to handle my case. She came with a wealth of patience and was very firm and believed in the decisions I needed to make to get a ...mutually agreeable outcome for my case. My experience has been full white glove with the occasional input/task on my part being out of state. If I was in state I feel they would have handled 100% of everything. Being out of state required .05% effort on my part. If you are in-state or out of state they will work hard for you and will always keep you updated on your case. They work around your schedule the absolute best they can. It is a Win/Win approach with them. I recommend giving them your case. Hope this helps anyone who was in the position I was in make an informed decision and feel more comfortable with the decision from day 1. DUIs don't have to be complicated with great legal team behind you.

Excellent Attorney

I ask a lot of questions, Vicki answered them all. She was honest with me and straight forward about what was and wasn't possible. She didn't promise things she couldn't deliver, so when things came to a completion, we got the things we asked for. While I hope I never need her again, if I did, ...I would come to her first.

Great Lawyer

I am very pleased that I went with Vicki Lopez for my felony DUI case. She was able to bring down my aggravated misdemeanor plea down to a standard misdemeanor without having to go to trial. She and her team were quick to respond to my calls/emails whenever I had questions which was nice due to this ...being a stressful time. On a personal level she was able to work with me and calm me down when I was a nervous wreck due to this being my first experience with the justice system. I would definitely suggest that anyone with a DUI case work with her. -Daniel C.

Great Lawyer

Vicki is wonderful. She is very patient, kind, informative and helpful. Never needing a lawyer before, I was not sure what kind of service I would receive. I hope I never need her services again but will reach out to her if I do or will recommend her to anyone who needs one.

angel sent from above

First time hiring a lawyer for my first DUI and I found the best lawyer in town. Vicky explained the process clearly and best case scenario. Her assistant and her kept me in the loop of any new updates in my case. Vicky fought hard to get me the best deal possible. I would recommend Vicky 100% to an...yone seeking a lawyer.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Vicki's knowledge of the law is next to none. She has practiced at the highest level of her field with great success for her clients. Above that, she mentors other attorneys and shares her vast knowledge with them. She has taught me a great deal and is the lawyer I go to with questions. I know I can depend on her answers and feedback because not only is Vicki a brilliant attorney but her passion for her clients, paired with the amount of experience she has, puts her on a level that very few other attorneys are on. It is my pleasure to endorse Vicki Lopez."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Vicki and I were both associate attorneys working together at the same firm over 10 years ago. Since then, I have remained in touch with her and still reach out to her to discuss legal issues and strategy. She is a phenomenal attorney and I truly admire her work ethic, her dedication to her clients, her devotion to bettering the system and her creativity when it comes to thinking "outside the box." I can easily say that she is one of the best attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I feel privileged to have her as a resource."

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've been a prosecutor fighting with Vicki and a defense attorney working with Vicki. In both instances, Vicki has left me amazed at her legal knowledge, ethics, and ferocity with which she defends her clients. Vicki's encyclopedic knowledge of the law is eclipsed only by her innate trial ability and the tenacity she has for defending her clients. I'd say Vicki has forgotten more about criminal law than I could ever hope to know but I don't actually believe Vicki has forgotten a single thing in her entire life. If I ever needed a criminal defense attorney, I would move heaven and earth to retain Vicki Lopez. I cannot endorse this exceptional attorney in any stronger terms. If Vicki cannot win your case, then it's unwinnable."
