Victoria Oerton
Solicitor - Managing Partner
SRA ID: 416320
Victoria Oerton (pronounced Orton - just ignore the e) hails from North Devon, the daughter of a local solicitor, and in fact is the fifth generation of solicitors in her family. Vic was a trainee solicitor in North Devon before moving to South Devon upon qualification, where she practised until setting up Oerton Simm with Graham. Victoria approaches cases in the same spirit as Graham, namely believing that talking about problems, rather than shouting and fighting, is the best way to resolve them. Not always possible, but an admirable objective and one that has settled many of her cases much earlier than would otherwise have been the case. Victoria is also a Collaboratively qualified solicitor, and is a committee member of Somerset Resolution (formerly the Solicitors family Law Association). In her spare time Victoria is a keen chef (and has too many cook books), loves reading, gardening, and listening to Graham murder the ukulele...not

Excellent Service
Both Victoria and Legal Secretary Laura were so helpful with my matter. Great communication, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, fair, approachable and friendly. Needing a solicitor for a separation can be a daunting prospect but it was a comfortable experience with processes explained in a easy and understandable way. Great service thankyou.

Highly recommend
A divorce is such a difficult, emotional and complex time that having the experience and level of emotional understanding along with personal investment that Victoria endlessly showed, made what felt unmanageable possible. She dealt with what was an extremely complicated situation with skill, kindness and friendship steering through the legal issues in a way that left me feeling in control throughout. She was always available, immediately in tune with any situation and provided a level of service that was far beyond my expectation. I couldn't recommend Victoria highly enough
