Quite simply...the BEST!

Fiona Van Dyck not only knows the law, but is the absolute best at explaining it so I can be confident in making all my family's estate planning decisions. And Fiona's responsiveness to client needs is off the charts! She actually called me back from her vacation last winter and immediately emailed... me documents which I had unexpectedly needed for my bank. How many lawyers can you count on to do that? Fiona is the best lawyer you can count upon for anything because if she can't help you, she'll find someone who can. For example, both my accountant and financial planner were referrals from Fiona and I couldn't be happier!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
