"This attorney works very hard for the clients and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney."
"Mr. Victor has a thorough knowledge of the family court system and family law practice. He is a most competent and caring individual and brings these attributes to all he does."
"Brian is a fantastic attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable about family law and anything to do with mediation. If I needed a family law attorney, I would hire Brian."
"Your resume speaks for itself and I consider you a valuable member of the attorney community. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs your services. I whole heartedly endorse this lawyer!"
"Having worked with Mr. Victor as opposing counsel on a contested divorce matter, I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge of the law and demeanor. We were able to work together to resolve a highly contentious case with positive results for both our clients. When I learned Mr. Victor worked as an FCS counselor for 11 years, I began to use his services as an FCS coach for my clients. The results were incredible. In addition to his background as an FCS counselor, Mr. Victor had spent 7 years working for the Department of Children's Services, giving him special knowledge in the area of dependency. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Victor to anyone in need of a compassionate, intelligent and dedicated family law attorney."
