Victoria Wickman is the founder of a boutique law firm in New York City, the Law Office of Victoria Wickman. Her firm is completely focused on medical malpractice and represents clients who have suffered injuries in the course of receiving any type of medical care. She serves clients in the New York City metropolitan area and in New Jersey. Ms. Wickman began her law career by working in a local law office while still attending law school. While there, she handled all the personal injury matters and developed a passion for those that have been mistreated and injured.
Ms. Wickman graduated cum laude from St. John's University in 1998 and earned her Juris Doctor from the St. John's University School of Law in 2001. After graduation, she worked at a Park Avenue general practice law firm as an associate where she worked on personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Ms. Wickman worked in this capacity for three years before moving to the medical malpractice department of a prestigious personal injury law firm. While there, she secured numerous multimillion-dollar medical malpractice settlements in cases involving failures to diagnose cancer, improper surgeries and improper infant deliveries. Her continued success led her to open her own firm in 2009. In addition to medical malpractice, her practice specializes in traumatic brain injury cases and personal injury. As a sole practitioner, she dedicates her time and energy directly to her clients. Her office is located in downtown Manhattan.
Ms. Wickman is the Co-Vice Chair of the Medical Malpractice Committee of the New York State Trial Lawyer's Association.
