I Don’t recommend hiring for family matter

I worked with this attorney for a brief period on a family law matter but was disappointed with the overall experience. I often felt excluded from certain communications and pressured to agree to decisions I wasn’t entirely comfortable with. In my opinion, the representation did not meet my expectati...ons, and I chose to discontinue the services. I regret hiring this attorney and would encourage others to make sure they find legal representation that aligns with their communication preferences and comfort level.

Nope!

If you want a lawyer to take the money and run. He's your man. Do not use, especially for family court matters.

Bankruptcy

What can I say, called on Saturday afternoon he called me back Saturday evening. I was loosing my mind about my house,hopeless. We spoke for a while and he reassured everything would work out. Michael and his team went to work for us and we came out on top. They had constant up dates and excellent ...communication. Myself and my family will be forever grateful.

COVID Divorce

Mike helped me through a very difficult divorce. He was attentive, always available, and worked hard to get me what I deserved. He was also upfront and honest about potential outcomes, whether good or bad. I would recommend Mike to help you through your difficult times, he is trustworthy and exper...ienced.

Great Experience With Attorney Michael Van Dam

Attorney Van Dam is very responsive and always puts his clients first. He is easily accessible via telephone and email and he resolved my legal issue in a matter of two weeks. Thank you for your diligent work on my behalf.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
