What is the most satisfying aspect of being a Divorce Lawyer?

Victoria says the most satisfying aspect of being a divorce lawyer is being able to help others out of the darkest and most difficult days of their lives.

Victoria also is certified by the state of Alabama as a Guardian ad Litem and serves, when appointed by the court, as an advocate on behalf of children and other wards who are unable to understand what is in their own best interests.
