Exceptional Divorce Lawyer

Mr. Flavio Van Boekel is definitely a skilled divorce lawyer that you don’t want to face in a court trial. Mr. Van Boekel secured a better outcome than what I had expected, he helped through the stress of the divorce process with professionalism, ethics, and always with a sense of humor.

Best Immigration Attorney and overall great human being

I can't say enough great things about Flavio and his team. From the start of the K-1 fiancé visa process to my husband's recent green card approval, he’s been with us every step of the way. Immigration can be overwhelming, but Flavio made everything clear, manageable, and far less stressful. They ...were always responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough with every document and deadline. We felt genuinely cared for, never like just another case. Thanks to their guidance and expertise, my husband and I are now happily living together in the U.S. with peace of mind. If you're looking for an immigration lawyer who is not only competent but compassionate and professional, I highly recommend Flavio Van Boekel.

Outstanding Family Lawyer – Highly Recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Flavio Van Boekel during my divorce, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a clear understanding of my situation and took the time to ...listen carefully to my concerns, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. One of the qualities that truly set Flavio Van Boekel apart was their exceptional follow-up. No matter how busy they were, I always felt like a priority. Whether it was answering my questions, providing updates, or offering expert advice, they made sure I was never left in the dark. I always knew exactly where things stood, which made a challenging and emotional time much easier to navigate. Thanks to Flavio Van Boekel's guidance and tireless efforts, I was able to achieve the best possible outcome in my divorce. They not only advocated for my interests but also helped me make informed decisions that led to a fair and favorable resolution. If you’re looking for a family lawyer who is both compassionate and highly skilled, I wholeheartedly recommend Flavio Van Boekel. Their professionalism and commitment to their clients are second to none.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
