Outstanding Attorney

Victor is an amazing attorney to say the least! I originally hired Victor based upon his stellar reputation as well as his experience with appeals and I can say with full confidence that I am extremely glad I did. After months of working with Victor on my case through the appellate process, I have be...en nothing short of highly impressed with Victor's skill, knowledge, and professionalism. He has been very thorough with my case, and he is always great about keeping me up to date on the latest updates, filings, etc. I also greatly appreciate how Victor always makes himself available to answer any questions that I may have regarding my case and the appeals process as a whole. This process was highly stressful prior to hiring Victor, however, once I knew I had Victor in my corner, my stress level instantly dropped tenfold. I would highly recommend Victor without hesitation!

My Lawyer for 10 years

Victor has been my Attorney for the last 10 years. I recently went back to Court to fight for full custody of my younger daughter. After all the hearings and appeals, I ended up getting 95% custody. Victor never makes promises on the outcome of your case but I guarantee that he will fight for you... to the end. He is very honest and professional, and is also a dedicated family man. Thank you, Victor, for all that you have done for my family.

Child support case ended in my favor.

My ex-wife recently put me on child support. The child support isn't the problem, I've always supported my children. We split custody and share the children during the week so I didn't think it necessary that I pay child support when I'm already covering half their living expenses. It's really hard t...o fight a child support case. I hired Victor Mordey and he got the case thrown out! Very pleased with the results he provided. He's a competent and very helpful family law attorney.

Helpful, Patient, Resonable & Professional Attorney

My attorney Victor Mordey was helpful, patient, reasonable and a professional in his work. He took care of my child support case as he persuasively presented my position - my case arguments & facts. He certainly looks out for the best outcome. I highly recommend his law services. Thank you, Victor. I... truly appreciate all you've done.
