Superior law firm! They handled my case with grace and respect

Allison is an excellent attorney that puts her clients' well-being first above all else. She is trustworthy, dedicated and extremely smart.

I highly recommend this firm. Allison goes above and beyond for her clients and is exactly who you want in your corner!

The Law Firm of Victoria, it’s Staff, and Attorneys are extremely professional, honest, compassionate, and talented. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of competent representation in all areas of Family Law.

I was totally disheartened with the final costs and results of my divorce. What originally started out as a $5,500 retainer ended up costing me a little over $25,000! Dennis Zamplas kept telling me my case was "a difficult one," which surely it wasn't. No kids involved. House in my name only, etc. They dragged it out for a good year and in the end, I ended up paying more to my ex, and was overwhelmed with the costs I had to pay to him also. They kept insisting I should keep it out of court or I could lose more. I wish I had went before the judge because I truly feel they did not pursue the facts that I had presented to them. They switched the attorney I was assigned to at the last minute because she left the firm--more unnecessary paperwork! Save your money and find someone who won't overcharge you just because they have a Birmingham address!

I have reached out to the law firm of Victoria several times and with each call I received answers quickly and professionally. The advice given was very valuable and right-on. When I need legal advice I do not hesitate to call the law firm of Victoria.

Total ripoff. Within 2 weeks they wanted another $3000. When I told my friend to fire them they told her lies about they were the only ones that could get her half the assets and alimony. So when she gave them the money but called the next day and told them they were to expensive it took weeks to get a refund. When she got the refund it was only $2300. That’s right, they billed her $700 after she told them she didn’t want them to represent her anymore. When I talked to my lawyer about taking over her divorce the first thing he said was, “ let me guess, they wanted $7000 up front and it’s already up to $20,000”. He also said that “most people fire them half way through because they’re to expensive “. Now I don’t know it that’s true but from our experience, it’s seems legit. You’re better off hiring a local lawyer that been around awhile and knows the judges and other lawyers. I made the same mistake hiring the guys equivalent of Victoria, I used both Fred and Adam. I fired Fred and hired Adam and I regret it. I spent over $30,000 for my divorce. All these law firms are ripoffs.

First let me say, thank you. This law firm is blessed to have such a great group of attorneys! At such emotional points in life, people need well educated and compassionate people(like Ashleigh Wagner) working for them, being their voice of reason. Not everyone knows how to help themselves threw such desperate and emotional times(i.e. divorce, custody, ect) and thats why we count on our attorneys knowing and practicing the current laws and rules in a professional manner. This law firm has some of the best people i could have ever imagined working alongside eachother. Not only was my case strangely unique but also it was a mess ! I will spare the technical mumbo jumbo and just simple say this... 8 years ago things slipped threw the cracks, bringing me to the current day mess that presented itself. I give the glory first to God for guiding me to the law firm of Victoria, and then i give my praise to Ashleigh Wagner for further educating me while the process was going on. She also kept in good communication and helped me understand all of our options and outcomes of each court date we attended. Truly i can not express how much she put my mind at ease throughout the whole process. Not everyone will have an open and shut case(i sure didn't), so by no means am i saying "hire these guys and you will automatically get what YOU want" I am simply saying if you want a fair, honest, understood, competent and compassionate person as your voice in court, then defiantly consider this your first call. They will educate you about your case as well as the laws that are involved. They give the facts, and present your case in a very professional manner. I'm very pleased to say that my attorneys knew the laws, researched furthermore, and i walked out of court today a very happy mother, who simply wants nothing more in life than to NOT FAIL at being the best mom i can be. I have standards or morals i live by... treat others how you would like to be treated. And PAY IT FORWARD-- meaning, respond to a person's kindness to you by being kind to someone else. Its like hot potato, do something nice for a stranger and then expect nothing in return except that stranger will do something kind for the next person. With that said, i have received so much kindness given to me in this dark time that i had to seek help from an attorney. I had made new friends and people who have been very uplifting. Thank you to everyone, thank you law firm of Victoria and thank you Jesus ! My faith was tested and i am unshakable !

Amazing lawyers wonderful staff

I would not recommend this firm to anyone. I went in for the initial interview and was happy to have someone my own age and a women to talk to, she made me feel very comfortable so I signed on with them, I was shocked when I went back to find out I wasn't dealing with her but someone else,, then a few months later I was given yet another lawyer, I paid for a forensic accountant at their suggestion to go over the money - since I hadn't seen a checkbook or any bank info for maybe 20 years. On the day we went in for mediation, the lawyer was late so I was leafing through the file and saw where my ex had taken out several cash withdraws and not disclosed them on the questions. In the last 10 months not one of the lawyers or the accountant had seen that! So when I pointed it out I was told that we could go to court over it but that would cost $25,000 - at this point I was down to $5000 in the bank, no job. The amounts he had taken out were for about $50,000, so they told me even if I went to court and won my half would be owed to them! I started the process with$90,000, the divorce cost about$40,000. And they advised me not to hold out for alimony since at the time my ex was saying he was unemployed and his bank statement showed he only had $5000. yet the month after the divorce he was working for a state rep and $80,000 per year and driving a brand new Lincoln! I feel like I got bad advice and they strung it along till they saw the money was running out and then pushed for a bad settlement.
