This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He listened and provided terrific direction

Val took the time to hear about my situation and offered a great solution to help my case. I began the conversation with a sense of hopelessness and ended the conversation knowing that something could be done. I would look forward to working with Val if for some reason things don't work out the way... I hope.

Confident and determined to help

Val was excellent following up and providing honest feedback. I have approached several attorneys to discuss my case and Val calmed my nerves with an understanding of how to navigate the process and a strong desire to help.

Great divorce lawyer that gets things done.

I hired Val and his firm to represent me in a very complicated divorce case. My wife was being unreasonable and I had a prior attorney who just wanted to litigate the case until the cows came home without regard for my finances. Val helped me reach a settlement and saved me a ton of time and money. H...ighly recommend this lawyer if you want to get through divorce quickly and efficiently.

Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Val did an excellent job as my attorney. I appreciated his easy going, compassionate and attentive attitude during a stressful case. He was very committed and worked hard to ensure that my divorce was settled accurately.

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.
