HOW I WORK

Based in Colorado, with court experience in other parts of  the country, Victoria L. Lutz, JD, an experienced and qualified domestic violence lawyer and expert witness, provides a number of services in civil and criminal cases. She is an expert witness through the trial prep stage, the trial itself and beyond, offering consultation and trial assistance in myriad civil and criminal matters - plaintiff/prosecution and respondent/defense - e.g., marital dissolution, allocation of parental responsibilities, dependency and neglect, tort actions, felony assault, sexual assault and murder.

"Calling me to inquire about my services is just the first step. I need to know about your case and your client, the process you use and how you work. Before I accept any retention as an expert, I want to make sure we fit as a team; there is never any charge for the initial consultation. This allows us to decide - with no fee at stake - what type of expert you need and which expert, either myself or another, you will need and who I would recommend for your client. 

We will decide together if I am the right person for your client's specific needs. If you and I decide I am that expert, I am at your service.  I look forward to this process, ensuring the best possible outcome for you and your client."
