Mr. Orsatti is the real deal not fake or phony.

Mr. Orsatti did a great job for me he was always available when I needed to reach him 7days a week that alone was a huge blessing for me & my family when we had questions.

Exceptional Lawyer

Victor Orsatti is an outstanding lawyer, trustworthy, and amazing at what he does. I have had numerous cases handled by Victor in the El Cajon and San Diego division courthouses, and he has reduced or dropped multiple felonies that I would have been convicted for, and in some circumstances, kept me f...rom prison time. Victor is not just a lawyer; he treats you like family. I have gone to Victor for over 15 years to handle my cases and have never been disappointed in the outcome. If it weren’t for him, I would not be free today and would have had the chance to turn my life around. I highly recommend him for case!

Excellent experience working with The Law Office of Victor A. Orsatti

Navigating a criminal case is terrifying but Mr. Victor Orsatti made it manageable. Attorney Victor Orsatti always took my calls. I never felt like just another case number. He cared about my situation. Outstanding results! My misdemeanor will be dismissed. Keeping my criminal record clean.... Like it was before! I am forever grateful for Victor. This was in the city of Palm Desert at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.

One call problem solver......

Victor is the guy you want. You call the number, He answers! No secretary trying to make an appointment, no explaining what you need to 10 different people. One on one with the guy whos gonna fix the problem. Same guy who shows up to court for you. Simple as it gets and he answers texts when you have... questions. Wish all attorneys did business like him.....

Great Price smooth Experience ( Highly Recommend)

My father wants to expunge his record and was getting the run around from the Public Defenders' office. He also felt that other lawyers were asking way too high a price, some 4,000, some 5,000. That was way out of his price range. Victor answered me as soon as I messaged him, kept us updated during t...he whole process, and got it all done in less than 3 months. It was a smooth and great experience. I would recommend him to anyone trying to expunge their record in a heartbeat.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
