Posted by Donald | November 07, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I've worked with Victor for several years, and he's the best around!

Victor Mordey is without a doubt the best child custody lawyer in the south bay. Choosing the right lawyer for family court is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way twice with lawyers that over charged me and did little to defend my case in co...urt. Victor on the other hand lays out his very reasonable prices in advance, and more importantly steps up to the plate for you in front of the judge. He's been in business in Chula Vista for a long time and knows all the judges and other local lawyers. I was recommended him by the San Diego County Bar Association. I am a Dad that currently has 50%+ custody of my son and I no longer pay child support, which would not have been possible without Victor Mordey. If you'd like any more info or there's any tips I can pass along, feel free to message me.

Great attorney!

Victor helped me get a restraining order after I initially filed it with court on my own and got denied. He also helped me win a custody case. He always gave me his honest opinion on the matter. He had patience to listen to me and get the full understanding of my situation and deliver it to the judge.... I know who I'm calling if I ever need legal help again.

Divorce

Excellent lawyer!!! I went through a rough divorce. I had hired 2 other different lawyers and my case wasn't going anywhere for 9 years. I hired Victor Mordey and he was excellent. He won my case quickly. I would very highly recommend. Habla ingles/Espanol.

Grateful that I found a great Attorney

I first consult him and he gave me a streight forward honest opinion. He read the court documents and he quickly told me what to expect. He gets back to me fast, he is very professional, knowledgeable, he is empathetic, remembers my case and is on top of it, he is available and answers all my questio...ns, I was able to sleep knowing that things are getting in place thanks to his help. I feel more than blessed. I highly recommend him!!!

Posted by Vance | March 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Finally a lawyer I trust

I hired Victor for my bankruptcy and he was able to help me tremendously with my creditors! I was able to get out from a mountain of debt from a failed business and restart my life because Victor was always looking out for my best interests. We still chat every few months and he even still gives me a...dvice here and there, he is a really great guy and even better lawyer!
