So entertaining, so epic
Watching you defend Trump was epic. Remember what happened when you basically screamed “I have no idea how the senate works!” (Laughter). Let us all know how it works when you try to get 300 witnesses, including Nancy Pelosi, deposed in your office in philly-delphia! “It’s how the law works”. No one...

Car accident
Very satisfied with the service received. I recommend Michael Thomas van der veen for all car accidents.
"Michael is an astounding attorney who will fight for his clients. I had the pleasure of working under Mike before law school and his work ethic inspired me to open my own firm after law school. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is the whole package, the ultra rare breed of a true PI trial lawyer and a true courtroom criminal defense lawyer. There is only one other lawyer I know in the last 22 years who is superb, like Mike, in both areas. Mike is equally skilled at defending someone in a homicide case or representing a catastrophically injured person with inadequate apparent liability coverage, the so called coverage tragedy. I had a co-plaintiff with him once. He had incredibly creative theories on the case that caused him to recover every possible penny for his client. I rode his coattails, and learned much from him as he triumphed over the 12 defense attorneys in the case."
"Michael's clients have shared with me his level of detail and solid results, he is a hard working lawyer that you want on your side!"
