Exceptional Divorce Attorney

Peter is very knowledgeable on all levels and provided smart and solid advice during my entire divorce process. Peter is compassionate and good listener. He also can fight and play hard ball when necessary. His office staff was easy to work with and Peter ended my divorce with the outcome I wanted... without breaking the bank. I give him my fullest recommendation.

Grateful!!

Peter in my opinion is an excellent attorney. Not only is he knowledgeable in the law, he really cares! Because of Peter my daughter and I are in a better place in our life. We will always be grateful for all he did for us!

Posted by Javier Antonio | November 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Glad I hired Peter!

At first, when I found myself facing the divorce situation, I had no idea who to turn to. Furtunately, I found Peter Van Aulen on the Internet and after meeting with him, I felt more comfortable. As he explained my legal options and obligations I felt more reassured, as he is very knowledgeable! His ...fees are reasonable. At the end of the legal process, I'm very glad I hired him!

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Van Aulen is a real gentleman who worked on some follow up issues in my divorce. He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I would recommend Mr. Van Aulen to anyone needing an attorney for matrimonial issues.

Wonderful, straightforward lawyer!

Peter Van Aulen is an honest, kind and caring lawyer with a firm grasp of the law. Peter very thoroughly explained the divorce process and was more than happy to answer my many questions. I left the consultation feeling confident that he would be a strong advocate. Peter (along with his assistant Deb...bie) handled my divorce with utter professionalism. When the process was made extremely difficult by my former spouse’s irresponsible behaviors, Peter was quick to respond to my concerns and updated me as things moved forward. He was very upfront about the cost/benefits associated with pursuing certain legal courses, therefore making my decision-making process much easier. I never lost faith in Peter’s ability to persevere. After the divorce, when my ex decided not to honor the terms, Peter helped me correct the situation in a timely matter. In short, I could not be more pleased with the services performed by Peter Van Aulen, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of a family lawyer.
