Victoria Roeck

Associate

Overview

Victoria (Tori) Roeck maintains a diverse commercial litigation practice, to which she brings substantial federal court experience. As a Gruber Fellow in Global Justice and staff attorney at the New York Civil Liberties Union, Tori focused on combatting unlawful immigration detention at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in upstate New York through class actions, habeas corpus petitions, and amicus briefs at the trial and appellate levels. Her work built on her time in the Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic at Yale Law School, through which she helped secure nationwide injunctions against the first Muslim Ban and the DACA termination, earning the Charles G. Albom Prize for excellence in appellate advocacy.

Tori joined Holwell Shuster & Goldberg from a clerkship with the Hon. Allyne R. Ross in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
