Over the past 25 years, Victor has represented over 2,500 victims who were injured through the negligence of others. Victor is committed to the belief that the legal system can work for ordinary citizens and that average Americans can stand as tall as the wealthy, the powerful and the well-connected. He has litigated and/or tried cases against numerous multi-million and multi-billion dollar corporations involving wrongful death, motor vehicle accidents, medical negligence, defective products, insurance claims, premises liability, and workers’ compensation. Victor has obtained over 250 six and seven-figure verdicts or settlements on behalf of his clients.

In 2011, Victor was selected by Florida Trend Magazine’s Legal Elite. He has been a member of the Florida Justice Association (formerly the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers) for 25 years and an Eagle member for over 20 years. Victor is a longtime member of Florida Workers’ Advocates which is an organization designed to protect and defend the workers of this state, particularly those that are injured. He is a member of the Trial Lawyers and Workers’ Compensation sections of the Florida Bar and was a charter member of the D.R. Smith Chapter–American Inns of Court. Victor has been invited to lecture fellow attorneys on the topics of personal injury and workers’ compensation on behalf of The Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, The Florida Justice Association, The Florida Bar, and the National Business Institute.
Victor is a third-generation Ocala resident and a lifelong member of Blessed Trinity Catholic Church where he has served on the parish counsel and as a lector. Victor along with his wife (and law partner) Kelly were honored to have chaired a Marion County March of Dimes WalkAmerica which raised nearly one million dollars for this worthy cause.
