Meet the Attorneys
Erik S. Velie
Principal Founder, Victory Law Group, LLP
Erik S. Velie is the founder of Victory Law Group and has been practicing law in California for nine years. He focuses on personal injury cases—particularly catastrophic injuries and auto accidents—as well as employment law, with an emphasis on wrongful termination. He is rated “A.V.”® Preeminent™ by Martindale-Hubbell®.
A Different Kind of Dream
While most kids dream of becoming professional athletes or rock stars, Erik dreamed of starting his own business. That entrepreneurial drive, combined with a genuine interest in people and their stories, ultimately led him to law.
“When I started working as an attorney, I really enjoyed meeting different people, learning about their lives, and helping them think about their future,” he says. “After I paid off my student loans and saved some money, I started Victory Law Group.”
Education and Early Career
Erik graduated Magna Cum Laude with distinction in finance from San Diego State University. He went on to Loyola Law School, where he finished in the top 15% of his class after his first year. Before graduating, he externed for the Honorable Judge Erithe A. Smith at the United States Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana, California.
He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Southern California School of Law and also studied finance at Balliol College of Economics at Oxford University in England, where he earned membership in the Oxford Union.
Building Victory Law Group
After completing his education, Erik fulfilled his childhood goal and founded Victory Law Group. The firm has since built a reputation for strong representation in personal injury and employment law throughout Southern California.
Erik has been rated a Top Attorney in Personal Injury by Avvo and maintains his “A.V.”® Preeminent™ rating from Martindale-Hubbell®. His approach is straightforward: resolve claims efficiently while staying aligned with what his clients actually need.
Beyond the Law
Erik has always had an entrepreneurial streak. Throughout his career, he’s worked to combine his interest in technology, his desire to help people, and his skills as a litigator.
“I’m focused on catastrophic injuries and auto accidents, but I’m also interested in how technology and marketing are changing the way law firms operate,” he explains. “My law firm is my main focus, but I also own a percentage of Insight.me, a company that prints t-shirts for celebrities supporting charitable campaigns.”
Looking Ahead
After nearly a decade in law, Erik continues to grow Victory Law Group while pursuing his other business interests. His goal is simple: keep helping clients navigate difficult situations while building businesses that solve real problems.

Our Approach to Cases
We know the legal process can feel overwhelming when you’re already dealing with an injury or workplace issue. That’s why we walk you through what to expect from day one.
How We Work With You
First Conversation
We listen. You’ll speak with an attorney who will ask questions about what happened, answer your questions about the law, and explain whether we think you have a case. No pressure, no legal jargon. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.
Investigation & Strategy
Once you hire us, we gather evidence, review documents, interview witnesses, and consult experts when needed. We build a clear picture of what happened and develop a strategy tailored to your situation. You’ll know the plan before we move forward.
Negotiation
Most cases settle before trial. We negotiate with insurance companies and opposing counsel to reach a fair resolution. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial—because that preparation gives us leverage at the negotiation table.
Resolution or Trial
If we can’t reach a fair settlement, we’re ready to take your case to court. Trial preparation isn’t about being aggressive. It’s about being thorough. We present your story clearly, backed by evidence, and let the facts speak.
Staying in Touch
You won’t wonder what’s happening with your case. We provide regular updates by phone, email, or text—whatever works for you. You’ll also have direct access to your attorney, not just a paralegal or case manager.
If something changes or a deadline approaches, you’ll hear from us. And if you have questions between updates, we respond promptly.
Community & Professional Commitment
Our attorneys are active members of the California State Bar and maintain professional affiliations with organizations dedicated to protecting the rights of injured individuals and employees throughout the state.
We believe in staying connected to the communities we serve. That means not just practicing law here, but understanding the local courts, building relationships with medical providers and experts who help our clients, and staying informed about the issues that affect people in California.
We’re committed to continuing legal education, ethical practice, and treating every client with the respect and attention they deserve. Our professional memberships and affiliations reflect our dedication to staying current, connected, and accountable.
