Do not hire Victoria if you want a true advocate and not a paralegal. This is the worse experience we've ever had with an attorney. My husband and I do not recommend Victoria. Her ethics are extremely questionable. She was our attorney during the sale of a house. (Note that she had admitted to us that she was familiar with the seller's attorney previously.) During the process, she presented us with an addendum that was required by the title company such that we would get credit toward closing from the sellers. The amount was supposed to represent 3 month's worth of rent since we had been renting the home before we bought it. (She had tried to discourage us from including this in the sales agreement.) But because closing was scheduled in the middle of the month, she only included 2.5 months, she omitted half a month's worth of rent. Before we signed the addendum, we asked her if we would get that amount back at closing. She (in writing) assured us that we would get it in a check from the seller. Two days before closing, we noted to her that the half month's rent was not included in the prelim closing documents. She (in writing) stated that she would ensure that it was included. She emailed us the documents a few hours before closing. She didn't show at the closing, but told us to call her with any issues. When the closing agent reviewed the documents, we called Victoria to let her know that the money was not included. She had the nerve to respond that the money was included in the 2.5 months credit. We reminded her again that it was not. She suddenly remembered and told us that she would call us back. She called back to say the seller's attorney said, "Take it or leave it." We asked her if we signed the closing documents, could we sue for the money later. She responded, "No." She offered no explanation as to why her answer was no. However, later that evening, we later read far down in an email thread she had inadvertently sent to us between her and the seller's lawyer that the sellers would not be returning the money. She never responded to his email. Instead, she prepared the closing documents, sent to us the morning of closing, and never said a word. Of course, her fee was included in the closing. The seller delivered an inadequate amount for the security deposit. When we asked Victoria to help us retrieve the missing portion, her response (in writing) was, "They can't give you money they don't have." She advocated for the sellers during the entire process. We ended up getting the rent and the remaining security deposit back without her help. Her actions were absolutely immoral and unethical. She never helped us fulfill all the terms of the sale agreement after she was paid. Abysmal work.

I highly recommend Victoria! Despite a real estate deal falling through, she provided exceptional support and guidance, ensuring a smooth exit. In addition, she did this without charging me, even after working on this for a couple of weeks. Her expertise and dedication made a potentially stressful situation manageable. Thank you!

Victoria helped us purchase our first home. The experience was overwhelming at times and if it wasn’t for Victoria we would have been totally lost. Victoria was always available and willing to answer our questions. She is competent, knowledgable and always had our best interest from beginning to end. She was able to explain every aspect of the transaction in a manner that we were able to understand. Throughout the process Victoria was available and even after we were done closing she continued to make herself available for any lingering questions. We highly recommend Victoria for any home buyer, but especially first time home buyers.

We used Victoria for the purchase of our first home in January. We were very nervous as we did not really know much about purchasing a home and Victoria helped us tremendously! She was extremely knowledgeable and took the time out to make sure that we FULLY understood every transaction. She was available anytime that we called her or sent her a text (and we called a lot)! We purchased our home without any issues and felt comfortable through the entire process thanks to Victoria. She is trustworthy, efficient and responsive and we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!
