Victoria is certified as a specialist in appellate law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization – a distinction earned by only 1% of her peers. In her boutique practice, she enjoys the freedom to devote her best effort to every case while employing cost-effective case strategies. Victoria is a member of the California Academy of Appellate Lawyers, an election-only organization with only about 125 members statewide. She regularly speaks and writes on appellate topics and often volunteers to serve in leadership roles in the appellate community. 

Victoria represents appellants and respondents in appellate litigation, and she serves as a resource for trial lawyers from the pleading stage to summary judgment, trial, and post-trial proceedings in multiple practice areas, including:  

•  High Stakes Personal Injury Cases. ​ Victoria represents both plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury matters. (Greener v. M. Phelps, Inc. (2024) 107 Cal.App.5th 1080 [affirming $46 million judgment stemming from a catastrophic Jiu-Jitsu injury]; Shih v. Starbucks Corporation (2020) 53 Cal.App.5th 1063 [affirming summary judgment of negligence and products liability claims against a nationwide coffee company].)   

•   Cases Involving Public Entities. With roughly 20 years of experience in this area, Victoria has a deep understanding of the laws governing public entities, including claim-filing requirements and statutes giving rise to specific liabilities and immunities. (Selkin v. City of Los Angeles (2026) No. B342433, 2026 WL 507780 [asserting novel theory concerning the interplay between mandatory duty liability and inspection immunity].)  

•  Business Disputes. Victoria represents large and small businesses in disputes ranging from contract interpretation to the proper application of commercial codes. (Severin Mobile Towing Inc. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (2021) 65 Cal.App.5th 292 [reversing summary judgment and clarifying the laws governing banks handling fraudulent deposits].)  

• Family Law Matters. Victoria’s case load nearly always includes several family law appeals, raising issues ranging from the proper characterization and division of property to enforceability of pre-and postnuptial agreements, child and spousal support, move-away orders, and restraining order proceedings. (In re Marriage of R.B. and N.B. (2024) No. D081727, 2024 WL 3868572 [reversing order denying request for modification of child support].)
