also known as Van T. Doan
At the Law Firm of Van T. Doan, LLC, our practice is focused on immigration law and family law. We have a comprehensive understanding of the complex nature of immigration law and the implications that may arise from emotionally charged domestic matters. The firm is routinely called upon to either consult or handle immigration matters where the parties may be separated or going through a high-conflict divorce. We also frequently receive referrals from domestic law attorneys where one of the parties is a foreign national and concerns have been raised regarding lawful status, child custody and visitation, and domestic violence.
As a certified mediator and collaborative law practitioner, I believe in negotiation and that eventually, calmer heads will prevail. However, when the situation demands immediate action such as when a child has been removed from the home without notice or consent, I have successfully petitioned for the Court to take action for the safe return of the child.

Great understanding and responsiveness
Van is efficient, clear, and understanding. Her depth of knowledge and experience are unmatched in the visa space. She has compassion for both sides and cares about everyone involved, and works towards both the most realistic and mutually beneficial solutions

Extremely knowledgeable in immigration law
If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I absolutely would. Ms. Doan was retained for a complicated immigration issue, which made other lawyers scratch their head in confusion. She was extremely knowledgeable in my matter and was thorough in the case. I can't thank her enough for all the hard wo...

Van T Doan Is Fantastic!
First of all it's obvious she really knows what she's doing and that she's a very serious and intelligent woman and knows things need to be done right. She is extremely thorough and professional about her work. Don't try to do this immigration process by yourself, I did and my mistakes made the proce...

Disappointed
I was disappointed with this attorney. While knowledgeable about many aspects of immigration law, she seemed to be out of date with immigration issues relating to Mexican nationals. Also, paid $275 for a 1 hour consultation, of which I only used about 45 minutes of her time before ending the call. ...
I am very are sorry that after your consultation with me you came to the belief that my knowledge surrounding Mexican nationals was inadequate and further that you did not receive a good value from the flat fee initial consultation. I can see how with those beliefs you would feel disappointed. Even though we did not end up representing you, I remember our consultation, and the reasons we did not work together. I want you to know that in the year that has passed since we spoke, country conditions and and immigration relief possibilities for many including, Mexican nationals have changed dramatically. If your issue is ongoing, it is important to be actively working with counsel that remains abreast of the changes in the law. I also want you to know that I take all feedback very seriously. Negative feedback, while frustrating, is ultimately an opportunity to improve. With that in mind, I have examined the series of communications that occurred over multiple weeks stemming from the initial consultation. I have determined that in future consultations, if more than one party has relevant information and/or will be impacted by decisions to be made, it is best to require that person's presence at the initial consultation either in person or by phone. While this may delay the scheduling of the consultation or even prevent someone from consulting with us, we believe it is necessary to allow us to have a complete understanding of everyone's concerns and position on the various issues and thus, allow us to address all the issues and concerns in a more comprehensive manner.

"Van is a highly competent and ethical attorney who practices family law and family-based immigration law. I was honored to be invited to present on a panel she co-organized for the DC area chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. On the panel a family lawyer and an immigration lawyer from DC, Maryland, and Virginia each addressed the overlapping issues that practitioners from both areas should be alert to, as well as relevant differences in family law in the three jurisdictions. Van is respected by her colleagues and clients for her tenacity, generosity, and the depth of her knowledge."

Ms. Doan has been a tremendous help to my clients in their immigration cases and Ms. Doan is equally dedicated in her work as a domestic relations lawyer. I highly endorse this lawyer."
