I can't recommend her enough. This was a high-conflict case that took a very long time to resolve, and she stayed steady, focused, and fully committed the entire way through. After a long journey, we were finally able to reach a resolution--and I truly credit her for that. She is a fierce advocate who genuinely fights for her clients. What stood out most is how much time she takes to understand the full picture--not just bits and pieces--so she can represent you the right way. She's extremely knowledgeable in the law and knows exactly how to argue her position with confidence and precision. If you want someone sharp, dedicated, and truly in your corner, she's the one you want on your side. Wouldn't be surprised if she ends up on the bench as a family court judge. read more

Vicki represented me in a divorce from an abusive husband, I couldn't have done it without her. She has incredible attorney skills I only wanted my half and she got that for me. Above all was her caring support that helped me every step of the way. She is an amazing professional with a heart of gold. read more

I don't know how my review got deleted which is pretty scandalous. I'm sorry Vicki but people need to know you're not a good attorney. It'd be reckless of me to not disclose that and you need to do better. I think Vicki is a nice person that might do well in mediation or something where there isn't significant conflict. If you expect her to do extra work on your case it's just not gonna happen. If you go to trial you're also screwed. She also sent receipts each month without disclosing how those hours were calculated. Very expensive, while also putting in no work. She was still putting on all her make up the day of my trial while I'm paying her and on one of the biggest days of my life. To me this was unsatisfactory and made me realize she put zero prep into our trial and wasn't taking my case seriously. This was just the cherry on top though. I would've done better representing my own case and I would never recommend her to friends or family. She was obviously scared to go to trial and now I understand why. She wasn't ready. I would've respected her more if early on she would've just said she was not equipped to handle my case. I hate to write this review as I thought Vicki was a nice person but I actually feel it to be reckless of me not to. My divorce was a few years ago at this point and I still feel a need to disclose how poorly she performed as I'm still feeling the effects. read more

I worked with Vicki for 2 years during what can only be described as a nightmare, worst case scenario, custody battle. She never faltered, always had my best interest at heart, was always available, stepped back and stepped up when I needed her to. She wasn't too aggressive as to offput the other lawyers but didn't take any s**t either. I pray I'm done with her but would hire her again if I ever do. She truly helped me to get what was best for my kiddos. read more

We used Vicki as a mediator for our divorce and she was amazing! She was referred by a good friend and Vicki did not disappoint. She exceeded expectations in a tense situation. I was concerned that my husband would feel like Vicki would "side" with me but she didn't and treated us fairly and highly professional. She was efficient during the process in an attempt to save us $ and kept the momentum going. She instilled a sense of trust and confidence in the process, which helped to ease the tension. She kept us both in our lanes and made us accountable for our actions. I can honestly say that Vicki kept us out of court and saved us a lot of money and stress.

I highly recommend Vicki Rothman for your case. I had a four-year Legal Separation and Divorce case that had many twists and turns from my ex-husband. She is very knowledgeable of not only the laws but the San Diego Court system which was strategically beneficial in my case. The communication was excellent, not only with the case details but with her honest assessment of the possible outcomes as well. She is very empathetic and genuinely cared for me as a person, which when you are going through such a stressful time, means more than words can express. read more

I met Vicki Rothman when I was already in the middle of a very difficult custody battle. She listened to all of my concerns and used her experience with the courts and knowledge in the area of family law to resolve each situation in the best possible way. Vicki always kept my daughter's best interest in mind and made our case a priority, even answering her cell phone on weekends and late evenings. I could have never imagined the positive outcome of my case, but it was definitely the result of Vicki's hard work and determination. My daughter is now with me full time, and is the happiest and most well-adjusted teenager I know. Vicki has the highest integrity and has earned my complete trust. She is a kind and caring person, and relentless when it comes to fighting for kids. I highly recommend her to anyone facing a divorce or custody dispute. read more

Vicki is an amazing person. She helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life, when I wouldn't trust even my shadow. She came recommended by a friend and I'm so glad I contacted her. She went above and beyond the line of duty, has an extensive experience and knowledge about not only the law, but also of how the system works and the possible outcomes. Real life is far from what you see on TV or what one considers "right or wrong or even fair". She is honest, reliable and a very caring human being. If you are looking for a divorce attorney, especially if you have children, setup a consultation to meet Vicki. You'll notice her passion for the well being of children and will work towards a fair and prompt settlement. read more

Vicki was the BEST thing to happen to me and my family. After going through several lawyers that were only interested in dragging on this case as long as possible for their own financial profit and doing nothing for my case I was so fortunate to have found her. She went above and beyond for me and my daughter. . . My daughters father was a pathological liar and constantly called the police and CPS on me in order to try and manipulate the system and get full custody of our daughter. Thankfully Vicki was so knowledgeable, passionate, and the light we needed in this situation. She completely changed the direction of this court case and I can finally breathe again. She is a force to be reckoned with. I trust her COMPLETELY and she is so passionate about what she does. read more

Thank you Vicki for your perservance, dedication, intelligence and incredible work ethic. The positive outcome that we experienced today is absolutely because of your expetise and amazing skill set. I am extremely grateful. read more

Vicki Rothman was recommended to me by a friend of mine following the very difficult and emotional separation from my husband of 19 years. With the added complexities of 1) assets my husband and I had accumulated over the years. 2) a shared home. 3) a mutual fund. 4) two small home business. 5) dividing 19 years of an accumulation of various misc possessions. AND... 6) the added factor that my husbands 20+ years of service in the military, (to which, as a spouse, I was entitled to 50%) I had absolutely no idea how to navigate my way thru a divorce and all these issues, as well as the complicated issue of a settlement on spousal support, (as my husband had been the main breadwinner thru out our marriage). I really cannot say enough about how helpful, detail oriented, organized and professionally assertive that Vicki was during the negotiations and settlement of my divorce. I found that she also was empathic and caring which was something that I needed very much during that time. Furthermore, Vicki was always prompt to call me back or email me whenever I needed to speak to her. She educated me thoroughly on all of my rights and I am very happy with the final settlements that my husband and I agreed upon in the end. I highly recommend Vicki Rothman as an outstanding attorney if you happen to be in the difficult process of going thru a divorce. read more

Vicki helped with my extremely high conflict divorce. Both my ex and her attorney were highly confrontational but Vicki was able to keep a cool head and be the voice of reason. She had great advice and represented me well for the year and a half it took to finish the divorce process. She was responsive to all of my questions and was able to help keep me grounded during the process as well. Her forward thinking and understanding of the law was a big help during a very difficult time. I highly recommend you call her for a consult before making any decisions. read more
