Awesome lawyer

Victor was very knowledgeable and extremely Competent when it came to my custody case. I highly recommend him and he is affordable as well.

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.

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!!!

My review for attorney Victor Augustus Mordey

I retained Victor Mordey to represent me last October to represent me after my wife filed for dissolution of marriage o October 2014. During my first meeting with him, I felt comfortable with him and felt he was going to do everything to protect my interests in this very difficult time. After seve...ral questions, he recommended the best course of action. Very professional and because of Mr. Mordey I am confident everything will turn out great on my behalf. I will be recommending his keen legal knowledge to help other people.
