Posted by Dwyne | October 22, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Victor mordey is the best attorney for the job!

My name is Dwyne Williams, I had an emergency custody case that needed immediate attention! I left voicemails seeking help from 7 lawyers. Out of all seven voicemails the only one that called me back the same day was attorney Victor Mordey. He was the only one that made my case as important and ...as urgent to himself as i felt it was to me. Victor explained to me in great detail how we were going to address the custody issue in court and get me my son back to me asap. We were in court within days of meeting at his office and everything has been smoothe up to this point. Victor frequently checks with me weekly to go over the case and asks how im doing as well. I would recommend Victor Mordey to any of my family members and friends because not only does he work the case, Victor actually cares!! My next court date is 11/7/18 and i wouldnt want anybody else to go to bat for me.

Such a great attorney!

It is always hard and nerve wracking finding an attorney especially here in the San Diego area. After reading reviews and having a consultation with Victor, I decided to hire him for divorce and family law court. Victor was a friendly, welcoming attorney and knew what he was doing. His prices were f...air and very reasonable. He was always on top of things, and always gave me a courtesy phone call a week before we were scheduled to be in court and meet with the judge. He always had his paperwork done and completed on time. He was always available for any questions or concerns that I had, and was always honest and straightforward. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Victor if you are looking for an attorney.

Best Lawyer ever!

I can not begin to say enough about Victor and his staff. Please know that I moved to San Diego a year ago and knew no one here nor any of the law firms or reputations. I went online and did some research and can tell you that this is an attorney that has gone above and beyond my expectations and... I can't say enough about his. I retained this firm for my divorce which I knew was going to be bad, but turned to horrible. Victor had his hands full already with case loads, but once I called and spoke to his secretary, she relayed my situation to Victor who then took my case immediately. I went in for my consultation and was met with a very professional and compassionate staff. Without revealing details of my case, all I can say is that I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for Victor and his team. Do NOT hesitate to hire this firm if you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable and compassionate firm that listens and truly cares. Victor and his reputation is well know in the Sarasota legal arena and he is well respected. Top notch firm hands down!

Excellet Attorney

Let me first say this…finding a good family law attorney is hard to find. Words cannot describe how grateful our family is to you. You were honest, telling our family the truth about our case, good and bad. You prepared us for a potentially hard and long battle. You are so thorough and detailed ori...ented, while updating us on every step of the way, responding to call right away, addressing our concerns clearly and compassionately. I cannot say enough about Victor M.

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!!!
