Didmt follow through with a refund, and over charged me for the amount of work he did

I hired him for less then 10 days, he over charged me , said I would be refunded some money then blocked me...... don't trust this guy, and when I asked to see a list of my costs, a breakdown of what I am being charged for, ie the math, he took way more then 10%, which is what the client agreement s...aid he could keep if I released him from the case....

Excellent Lawyer.. He is truly the best..

There's a legal issues with my son, which I felt was wrong. I looked for lawyers and Attorney Bakke showed on top for a reason. Attorney Victor Bakke is truly an outstanding lawyer. He took my son's case, explained the whole process, an honest man who really cares for people, especially his clients. ...I feel very at ease and comfortable and knew right away, we made the best decision getting him, and that we are in good hands. Sure enough, case is dismissed, what a true relief. His staff are also very accommodating, and attorney Bakke always answers our phone calls when we have questions. We feel that we have a family with him. Hope he can help your family as much as he has helped mine. I recommend Attorney Bakke to all my family and friends. World class lawyer with a team of great people. A true great service with positive outcome. Thank you very much Attorney Bakke!

EXCELLENT RESULTS, BOTH TIMES!

Yes, Victor helped me TWICE. The first time I called Victor for help was back in 2013 when he helped me get my teenage daughter out of trouble. Not only did he do that, but his strong presence balanced with his natural charm helped prevent my kid from being railroaded by the other party, whose par...ents were both law enforcement. So naturally the cards were stacked against us, but thanks to Victor we came out on top AND without any enemies! Today he successfully garnered a 3-year-long restraining order against an obnoxious neighbor I've been dealing with for over 11 years. Victor wasn't my first choice because I thought he only defended criminals, but after a couple of other attorneys couldn't help me, I figured who better to help me get and keep a TRO on said obnoxious neighbor, who happens to also be a felon, than a lawyer who successfully helped people like THAT for years? Victor did a good amount of researching what he could to help with this case, and in such a short period of time. Today I met him in court without an ounce of nervousness and again he came through with flying colors. My peace of mind was at stake with this issue, and he made sure I'd be able to go home to a long-lasting, peaceful environment. I've hired attorneys for other issues like an EEO and small claims, but one rare quality Victor exhibited that I really appreciated was his patience and willingness to listen and answer every question I had, even when I asked him the same thing more than once. This was very helpful because my need for legal representation was never for anything good, which brought on a lot of anxiety, and with it the inability to think straight. Having someone I could trust to speak on my behalf when all I felt like doing was crumbling into a heap was the greatest relief. Needless to say I'll be calling Victor again should I ever need legal help. Well, hopefully I won't need it.

First and Only Lawyer I Will Go To!

My first encounter ever with the law happened only a few months after I moved to Hawaii. I sought out Mr. Bakke's help and was completely satisfied! He physically went down to the scene, took video evidence, and presented it in court. My case was DISMISSED after the judge watched the video taken by M...r. Bakke. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney that cares, and dedicates his time to you and your case!

Excellent Attorney

Victor Bakke handled my case professionally and very easily. He made the whole nightmare bearable. In the court room he was always on top of his game. Outside the courtroom he was always available to answer questions or just calm me down. I would refer anyone to use Mr. Bakke services.

"I've referred a number of my clients to Victor for criminal matters, and always been impressed with the level of his legal representation. In particular, I like that he's not just trying to plead out every case; he's not afraid to go to trial when it's warranted. I highly recommend Victor."
