"Richard Victor’s professionalism and expertise were
of invaluable help and support to me during my divorce
process. My intention was to pursue an amicable divorce
and Richard was clear in his respect and support of that
intent. Richard provided me with answers to my
questions, was consistently accessible and available to
me, and brought together excellent ancillary
professionals that assisted me with financial concerns
and future planning. During the entire process, his
office staff and his assistant, Kathy Germaine, were
welcoming and responsive to my calls and questions in a
positive and supportive way. I felt that my divorce was
as important to Richard as it was to me, and for his
attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to
me as the client, I am indeed grateful to have worked
with Richard Victor."

"My divorce and subsequent custody situation have been
very painful and difficult experiences in my life, and
it has been and continues to be very important to have
the best attorney representing me. Therefore, I spent a
tremendous amount of time and research to select the
right firm and the optimal lawyer. Richard Victor was
the obvious choice for me because he personifies the
very best of family law. He always looks first at the
best interests of the child, and he utilizes his
excellent judgment and experience to be an invaluable
advocate, mentor and friend. I am deeply appreciative of
the work he has done (much of it under difficult
circumstances to say the least), and I would highly
recommend him and his office to anyone in the midst of a
divorce or custody dispute."

"My first attorney was almost incompetent and caused me
much heartache. I can honesty say that Richard and Danny
Victor turned my case around one hundred eighty degrees
in record time. Without Richard and Danny, my son would
still be living in Ohio without a court order and he
never would have had a chance to have a relationship
with his father, grandparents or family members (father
side). I now have physical custody of my son. He now has
a relationship with both of his parents, both
grandparents and both family members. I consider Richard
and Danny a member of my family."

"I initially sought a firm which was pre-eminent in
child custody rights for my divorce. Consequently, and
after significant research, I chose the Law Office of
Richard S. Victor. Since then, I have learned that the
lawyers there are very capable of handling complex
business, property, and real estate issues, as well as
custody and child support matters. The Law Offices of
Richard S. Victor, PLLC, is the total package. Both
Richard and Daniel Victor are the foremost experts in
their field. They have handled my entire divorce with
professionalism, while at the same time, advocating for
my personal interests and the best interests of my
children. As importantly, they have shown extreme
personal care throughout the proceedings which is more
important than I could have imagined when I originally
selected them. Because of the Law Offices of Richard S.
Victor I felt protected, informed, and in control of my
divorce."

"Divorce is certainly not to be taken lightly…the
journey starts with each partner searching for a lawyer.
Some view this search as a search for control – find the
one person that can win the emotional, psychological and
legal war about to begin. Friends might advise you to
meet with the top three lawyers in your area… You have
now found a lawyer and find yourself walking into the
office of someone you have never met and telling this
individual the most intimate details of your marriage.
Now keep in mind that this divorce lawyer is now
listening to your emotional rollercoaster ride and
although well trained in the legal aspects of divorce,
he is not equipped to address the emotional aspect that
you are experiencing. You have now finished a brief or
lengthy description of your marriage and the first item
you may hear about is the “success bonus.” Now you ask,
“What is a success bonus?” Well, it is an extra fee that
some lawyer’s feel they are entitled to if they are
successful enough to get either party more than the
party though they might receive.
As soon as you hear the words “success bonus” exit the
office.
Then run, don’t walk, to the Law offices of Richard S.
Victor, PLLC and Richard and Dan Victor.
This is the firm where I found the word “success” meant
the ability to absolutely trust my lawyer and his
commitment to my case. This is where I found someone who
would listen, yet keep me on track with how the divorce
legal system worked regarding my case. This is where I
found an attorney who was clear, direct and as effective
as the instruction I gave to him regarding the
non-confrontational settlement process that I wanted to
pursue.
Richard and Dan Victor were my advocates. They explained
a clear and simple fee schedule. They understood my
concerns and I felt they could present them well on my
behalf. They explained that the more conflict ridden a
marriage is the more contentious the divorce. Then throw
in money and kids, and you have the makings for a real
mess and at the very least some dicey issues that are
going to be difficult to resolve. So, my attorney’s
advice was to keep emotion out of the process. Heeding
his advise, I found at the end of the process that I
walked away with a clear, fair settlement and a divorce
that did not turn into a battle that would prevent
friendship between both parties for the future."

It has been both an honor and a pleasure to work with
Richard and Daniel Victor. As a psychologist familiar
with the painful experiences that a divorce can bring to
parents and children, I am always inspired and impressed
by the professionalism of these gentlemen. They do
everything in their power to make the divorce process as
amicable as possible, while insuring that the needs of
their clients are respected. Richard and Daniel are able
to focus on the best interests of children and to guide
their clients to do the same. When emotions are running
high, they bring a calm and measured approach that makes
their clients feel supported and understood. In
addition, both Richard and Daniel devote a significant
amount of their personal time to educating parents about
the need to shelter children from the inevitable
conflict that a divorce can bring. It is my strong
recommendation that any individual wanting excellent
representation that is focused on the needs of children
should contact Richard or Daniel Victor for their
professional expertise.

Richard Victor has been an expert in the area of family
law for years and has been actively involved in making
the system work better whether with the SMILE program or
grandparents rights. As a family therapist, it is
important to me, that an attorney understand and respect
the needs of children and families and Mr. Victor
understands and promotes the importance of family
connections. Richard still takes time out of his busy
schedule to talk (as a volunteer) at the SMILE program.
Mr. Victor understands the need for families to come out
of a divorce with the least amount of damage possible
for the sake of the children. He certainly knows the law
but is also very respectful of and upfront with clients.
I would not hesitate to refer a client to Richard
Victor.
