Wonderful, simply wonderful

Victor Bakke was incredibly reassuring and helped our family out immensely by getting the charges dropped against my father. An amazing lawyer. Thank you so much!

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.

"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."
