About

Victor Li is a native of the Pee Dee.  He grew up in Cheraw, South Carolina and attended Cheraw High School until his sophomore year when he was accepted to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics.  Victor is an avid gamer and enjoys competing in Scrabble, Poker and Chess.   Victor graduated from Clemson University in 1999 with a B.S. in Chemistry and from there  attended the University of South Carolina School of Law.  After graduating from law school in 2003, Victor postponed taking the bar in pursuit of opening Northstar Learning Center, a tutoring center focused on helping underprivileged children in the Midlands.   In 2008, Victor began his legal career in the Fifth Judicial Circuit working as a prosecutor for then Solicitor Barney Giese.  Although Victor was grateful for his first opportunity to practice law in the State of South Carolina, he quickly realized that his passion was defending and helping the people in his community.  Since 2009, Victor has been protecting and defending the constitutional rights of those who are accused of drug charges, DUI, and other violent crimes.    “I believe that honesty and transparency are the best ways to cultivate a strong attorney-client relationship.  Once you have retained me for the entirety of your case, you will be provided with my personal cell phone number to ensure easy and direct communication between client and attorney, not between office staff and client.”  In 2014, Victor was instrumental in reforming the City of Columbia Police Department’s drug lab.  He effectively challenged the drug analysis of the department’s drug chemist by showing that the reported drug weight was grossly exaggerated.  Because of his work, not only was his client protected from false prosecution, but so were hundreds of other defendants who would have been victims of shoddy police work.   Victor believes in his clients and bases his practice on a client-centric perspective.

Victor is very friendly, professional, high energy, and knows exactly what he's doing. Every associate of his that I had the pleasure to work with was just as professional and friendly. Couldn't have gotten a better value for a retainer from any other Lawyer in the state!

Although the case is still going on but there has been awesome to have the whole thing. Being in woman with charges like this blew my mind but he kept me at peace and ease. As well as in foreign on the laws and my options. Everything that he said he was going to do he's done right now that's very important couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

He has taken care of the few cases I have ever been a part of and did a great job with each one. He was easy to contact and was always available to chat if I had any concerns. He was also very upfront and always let me know what he was going to do while representing me and what each of my options were. If you are looking for representation, I would highly recommend Victor.

Victor Li took my case and exceeded my expectations. I was charged for a DUI a while back and he was able to work something out in my favor. It was a best case scenario as he informed me that he was able to get the charges dropped. For anyone with in need of a criminal defense attorney, look no further. This is the man you want to have defend you, make no mistake.

Victor Li was phenomenal when handling my case. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, or a better lawyer. Victor took a lot of stress off my shoulders throughout the entire process. He was very clear in the beginning of what all the potential outcomes were. He also presented this information in a personable manner. He was not cold or distant, and it was very evident that he cared about this case and about me in general. Not only is he a great lawyer, he's a great person as well. I would not only recommend him to a friend, or person, in need, but I would make sure that they hired Victor. Why settle for anything less than the best?

I am a college student who has never been in legal trouble until recently. I was given a charge that could have gone on my legal record and this concerned me. I did not want something like this to ruin my hopes of landing a great job when I graduate, so I wanted to fight. Not knowing what to do or how to get out of the situation, a close friend recommend Mr. Victor Li. He was excellent! Mr. Li was honest and helpful throughout the entire process about my odds in winning the case and the different options I had. His eagerness and confidence in his abilities helped me to relax and be able to trust him to do his job. He fought for and believed in me the entire time, with a winning end result in our favor. I will definitely use Mr. Li for any legal issue that I may encounter in the future and would refer him to all of my friends and family.

I am more than satisfied. Victor Li literally upholds his motto of "You Deserve The Best Defense." Immediately Victor provided the consultation with the utmost truth, laid out the facts and spoke to me as a friend, rather than as a lawyer. He gave me real insight at how to best handle my situation with no pressure at all. Victor continuously impressed me at his work ethic, his honesty, his integrity and his immediate responses. After being consulted by over three different lawyers regarding my situation, Victor far surpassed any lawyer because of his honesty, integrity and he literally got right to it. Victor is not your typical lawyer. Victor gets right to it. He does not waste time, he does not sugar coat anything. He tells it like it and that is the best way to handle legal situations. Victor is real and straightforward. I truly recommend Victor Li for legal situations. 10/10. You will be extremely pleased with your decision to use Victor Li in legal representation.

I'm not a professional criminal; however, I have made a few mistakes that required legal representation in General Sessions Court on a few occasions. I met Victor leaving my first or second appearance in General Sessions court and asked him if he was a Criminal Defense Lawyer and he said yes. He told me to come by his office for a Free Initial Consultation to discuss the facts of the case to determine the next course of action. Long story short I was facing 10 years on an Assault/Battery High Aggravated Nature and Pointing and Presenting a Firearm Charges. The only thing Victor promised to do was to represent me to his fullest capacity and that was fair enough. I didn't have any other choice anyway! I plead to guilty because I was guilty; however, I was sentenced to 1 year probation with a fine! I was so happy! Last case i would like to share involved a DUI. I was pulled over one mile from Clemson rd for driving over the posted speed limit. I was asked to step out the car and asked to participate in a field sobriety test. I refused the test. I was taken the jail and bonded out. However, my drivers license privileges were revoked. Subsequently, i was released and contacted Victor Li. He initiated his investigation and determined that the dash camera had not recorded the traffic stop!!! The DUI was thrown out; however, I was guilty of implied consent because once you accept a Drivers License in SC you basically agree to submit to testing. I had my license revoked for 6 MONTHS if i can properly remember but that's better than a DUI conviction because i did not have to get SR-22! Plus, I drive Trucks for myself now and I do very well! Im able to support my family and I would not be able to do so if it were not for Victor Li. I dont want to disclose my name on this public forum but if you do not believe me ask Victor and if you need my conformation or further input directly ask him and he will put you in contact with me personally!
