Whether the case is a complicated domestic violence

homicide, a contentious child custody proceeding or an

intentional infliction of emotional distress civil suit,

Victoria’s rare combination of legal and domestic

violence knowledge, coupled with sensitivity, makes her

a sought-after member of criminal and civil litigation teams. As a domestic violence expert witness, her experience includes consultation and testimony in marital dissolution, allocation of parental responsibilities, dependency and neglect, tort, felony assault, sexual assault, and murder cases. Over the past four decades, she has assisted more than 350 domestic violence survivors and overseen staff who have assisted more than 15,000.


"Sixty years ago in most states, it was not illegal to rape your wife; police rarely arrested domestic abusers unless criminal acts were done in the presence of witnesses and there were injuries; law enforcement was taught to - rather than make an arrest - just remove the batterer from the scene to let him or her cool off. If the intimates were not married or were in a single-sex relationship, they had very little hope of accessing justice.

 All of this has changed. Nonetheless, while more enlightened laws and professional education have largely addressed overtly backward, sexist, and unfair treatment of intimate violence crime, subconscious or hidden prejudices, and ignorance still handicap our ability to end gender violence.  


This is why I do what I do.'"
