Ineffective defence council!

Best lawyer in the world!

I contacted Mr. Marshall about my case and he made me feel at ease from our very first conversation. He listened and told me he was the guy for the job and that I had nothing to worry about. He answered all of my calls and kept me informed every time I had a court date. He fought and tough fight for ...me and prevailed. He was my voice and proved my innocence. Victor Marshall is the best lawyer I’ve ever known and I recommend him to everyone! Thank you soooo much Tommy

Highly recommended and professional! Best decision with positive outcome

Mr. Marshall is very professional. He was always available and attentive. He became a part of our family. Our son was facing a felony with jail time. We are from the east caost and did not know who to turn to. We choose him from a number of attorneys online. Our first meeting he gave us a clear under...standing of what we were facing. He simplified it so that we could have a better understanding. By the time we left his office we were feeling that we had made the right choose. He put together personal interviews and organized the facts about our son in order to show the court that our son had truly made a mistake. When it was all said and done our son's charges were dropped to a misdemeanor with no jail time or felony probation. Now our son has a second chance. You read these reviews and don't really know if they are real or staged but I can assure that this review is real. We wasn't told what to say, this is coming from our hearts. Mr. Marshall was a God sent and we appreciate all that he has done for our family. If you need an attorney and don't know where to start, start with him. Just go talk to him and see the professionalism for yourself.

Outstanding, and Heaven sent to work with family's.

I would highly recommend Victor C. Marshall if any family need a Lawyer. Mr Marshall was very quick to respond to the needs of my son. It was very easy to talk to Mr Marshall about the case and my concerns. Mr Marshall is very professional and educated about the law. The one thing that stood out the ...most was is willingness to work out a payment plan for me and he still work just has hard on the case as if I had been paid in full and he was very patient and understanding. My son was dropped of every charge. I thank God for leading me to Mr Marshall he was ordain by God to get the job done.

Truly Happy with the choice in going with Mr. Marshall

Mr. Marshall did everything in his power to help and get the best possible outcome for me and my family. Truly a wonderful and professional human being to work with and be in the presence of. Words can not describe how much his services changed my life. Always kept me informed, explained things with ...a sense of calmness and patience. Helped our family tremendously in our time of need. I would recommend Victor C. Marshall to any person in need of a lawyer, Thank you again Mr. Marshall, I am forever in your debt.

"Victor has been a terrific source of knowledge for me personally. Anytime I find myself needing assistance I know Victor will have the answer I am looking for. He also has a fantastic courtroom presence and I always take the opportunity to watch him in trial. He takes an artful and creative approach to defending his criminal defense cases, a style that is harder to find in today’s criminal defense legal community. He is excellent at balancing the job of being relatable with judges, juries and prosecutors but still being a tough negotiator."

"20 years of practicing criminal law at it's apex is what we call experienced. With thousands of cases under his belt as a former public defender and a graduate of the Gerry Spence trial school his skills are now available to private clients. Reviews by clients are stellar. READ THEM! If you are in or near Riverside do yourself a favor and call him first for a consultation. KUDOS"

"Victor is one of most accomplished, effective, and respected attorneys in the Inland Empire. I have known Victor for several years, and am incredibly impressed by his skills in a courtroom. Whenever I hear that Victor is in trial, I make sure to sit in on part of it and observe. I always learn a new skill/technique that I can add to my tool belt for use with my own clients. Victor also is always happy to offer a second opinion on my cases whenever asked. This caring and thoughtful attitude is exactly how he treats each and every one of his clients as well; he is an extremely knowledgeable and very hardworking advocate who truly cares about his clients. I have witnessed him pull off miracles in both trial and negotiations, and give him my highest endorsement. If you need a top criminal defense attorney/trial lawyer in Riverside/San Bernardino Counties, then look no further."
