Extraordinarily Knowledgeable

I consulted with Victoria on a new business concept and I was astonished by the expertise she provided on so many levels. I would not hesitate to recommend Victoria, as she is a true professional. Her follow up and attention to detail are second to none.

A Proven Attorney

As a graduate of Harvard Law School, who has worked with Ms. Kalman for years, I can state that she is an excellent attorney in the fields of business and real estate law. Our law firm continues to refer work to her.

Real Estate Investor

Victoria is easy to deal with, and I was very pleased at the timely manner in which she had all the necessary documents prepared. She collaborated well with both myself and the buyer of my real estate. She exercised great flexibility and made some excellent suggestions when changes were required ...in our time line. Additional, her billing for the transaction was quite reasonable. She is well respected in the community and I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring her expertise.

Effective Representation within Customized Scope

Ms. Kalman handled a Personal Injury Matter. I wanted limited attorney involvement and she was willing to tailored her scope of services. Other attorneys required a flat percentage if ANY time was involved. Her knowledgeable guidance allowed a strategic and succesful outcome to a sticky situation.... I had met this attorney years ago when a mutual client's business hit an impase. She mediated the matter in such a way that all parties were able to continue in business together.

Very Knowledgable and Informative

I hired Victoria Kalman to help me with a problem with tenants in a rental property I owned. She helped me by getting them evicted and getting a judgment against them for the back rent they owed to me. She kept me informed every step of the way and made sure that I understood exactly what the proce...ss was. Everything Mrs. Kalman did was very outcome oriented and accomplished in an efficient and timely manner thereby keeping all costs to me contained. I highly reccomend this lawyer and would gladly use her again.
