“Fantastic right from the start. The judge in my case specifically mentioned that the high quality of Victoria's representations had a huge impact on the quick success of my case.” 

With more than 25 years' experience exclusively in family law, Victoria is a highly experienced family lawyer who combines specialist expertise with a decisive, practical approach. She founded VM Family Law in 2020, having previously been a partner at Stephensons and KBL. 

Victoria advises across the full range of family law, including divorce and judicial separation, dissolution of civil partnerships, financial settlements, pre- and postnuptial agreements, domestic abuse injunctions and occupation orders, transfers of property, and private children disputes. 

“[She] explained the intricacies of every development and calmly provided my options.” 

She has particular expertise in complex financial matters involving businesses, pensions and trusts, as well as cases involving high levels of conflict or difficult decisions.  

Victoria will always look for ways to resolve disputes quickly and effectively without court proceedings, but never at the expense of the outcome. Where court intervention is necessary, she is a confident and experienced litigator who regularly conducts her own advocacy and frequently appears against counsel. 

She is known for being straightforward and proactive, giving clients clear, tailored advice and helping them understand their options and the best way forward. 

Accessible and responsive, Victoria remains personally involved throughout her clients' cases, placing a strong emphasis on transparency around costs, with regular updates so clients understand both the progress and costs of their case.
