For Matrimonial and Immigration service- Flavio Van Boekel is the answer

Flavio was the best attorney for my case, he was able to use his experience, look at his previous cases and provided me the big picture for my case. He and his Elena were very instrumental to my case. They created the roadmap, Flavio act with velocity and deliver quality result. Now, I have shared p...arenting and joint legal custody for my daughter.

The Best Lawyer- Excellent Knowledge, Professionalism, and Ethics

My experience working with Mr. Flavio Van Boekel has been excellent! He handled my case with complete professionalism, knowledge, and very strong ethics, and I was very thankful for being represented by him- and I also want to add that he was able to turn my case around with great outcome. Mr. Van Bo...ekel has represented me in custody and other matters, and I was extremely pleased with his services. I had worked with three other lawyers in the past, and they were not even close to Mr. Van Boekel's level of expertise and ethics. I only wish that I had met Flavio sooner. I will continue to do business with him, and I always refer him to all my friends. In my opinion, Mr. Flavio Van Boekel is the best lawyer you will ever find. "Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you will find a lawyer you like..." Thank you Flavio for being such a great lawyer!

Knowledgeable and Patient beyond belief!

Throughout my case there were moments where I didn’t know how to handle what was going on because of my emotional attachment to the case. My lawyer managed to keep me calm and informed throughout the almost 9 month process never once giving up on me even when I took my frustrations out on him. For ev...ery unexpected set back Mr. Flavio Van Boekel had an array of knowledge to handle each in accordance with the laws for my custody case. I not only appreciate his expertise as a lawyer but his sensitivity when I needed it the most. Family custody cases are the most difficult to handle and I would recommend him to anyone both locally to those living in New Jersey as well as those out of town like myself in need of legal representation in New Jersey.

Divorce case- Domestic violence

My litigious divorce. Mr. Van Boekel is an extraordinary divorce lawyer. He represented me diligently and aggressively against my husband's expensive lawyer who falsely accused me of trying to "kidnap" my daughter (since I am agreed card holder) and wanted sole custody of the child. In the en...d, Mr. Van Boekel made sure I had the custody of my daughter and child support. Mr. Van Boekel also made sure that I had a fair division of assets from my husband and went an extra mile when my husband tried to harass me hacking my email and assisted me with criminal charges and wire tap laws. I highly recommend Mr. Van Boekel to any client to want a true divorce lawyer in action. Edlaine
