Experience makes the difference

Mr. Orsatti has many years of experience and he is very professional and knowledgeable as a Criminal Law Attorney. As a lawyer I know that while it is important to know the law, it is just as important to know how the courts "really" work, and to have a good reputation with the people who work ther...e. Due to many years of experience in the court system, Mr. Orsatti has mastered this skill in many different courts. This mean Victor Orsatti gets the best outcome for his clients possible. I strongly recommend Mr. Orsatti for any criminal matter.

Outstanding

I had an DUI 5 years ago, of which certain obligations with the state were not met. I am in the military and with a transfer, the correspondence didn't catch up with me. Needless to say I was pulled over only to find I had a suspended license. So now I have a ticket for driving after suspension in... addition to the obligations and expenses from my past incident. I made 3 appointment with attorneys, of whom, Victor was the first. Upon our initial meeting he was very friendly and professional. He made no promises but reassured my he thought we had some pretty viable options with regard to reducing the driving charge as well as helping me properly fulfill my state obligations from my past infraction. He knew they systems and was very familiar with both San Diego and Chula Vista courthouses, as he was going to have to go to both since these charges were in different areas. I singed the contract after our first visit. I met with two other attorneys as planned but I was confident in Victor. He charged me a rate which was more than fair, especially considering he would have to go to two different court houses. He kept me informed every step of the way and was able to get my charges reduced as well as getting me back on track to close out my DUI case. I am very satisfied with Victor and would recommend him to anyone.

Superior Legal Counsel available in San Diego

Trying to choose a lawyer? I can highly recommend Attorney Victor Orsatti from personal experience for the best legal counsel available. I was recently charged with Shopfilting from a major department store. It felt like all the cards were stacked against me. I had no experience with which to navigat...e through the legal system. I was terrified at the prospect of having a Court Record or receiving a jail sentence. I didn't know where to turn. Fortunately, my first call was to Mr. Orsatti. After an initial free consultation in which he outlined how he would handle my case and the options available to me, I was convinced he was the right choice for my case. Being an independent attorney, he was always available to meet or answer my calls with knowledgeable answers to my questions. He charged a fair price, which was the best money I ever spent. He went to all my court dates for me, filed all the necessary paperwork in good time and was able, through his diligence, to get the charges against me dropped. What a relief! He made a daunting experience manageable. while keeping me up-to-date with his progress every step of the way. I trust him completely, and would hire him again with complete confidence. You should too.

Truly a good person and a GREAT Lawyer

I am not a writer so please forgive any errors. That said, I found Victor listed in the phone book. I had made maybe 20 calls to different lawyers, Victor was the only one who answered my questions honestly, gave my direction and did not expect me to choose him to defend me. I Choose Victor, and ...the rest is history, he was kind, thoughtful, and very informed. Always aswered my calls and questions. He made my very embarrassing and uncomfortable DUI tolerable. It has been a year since then, and I would call Victor for any legal matter, I trust Victor. Thank you, Margaret L.
