Helped in Drunk Driving Charges

Ms. Van Bergen just helped me with drunk driving charges. She was very nice. She had talked to the court before we went so I knew what to expect when we got their. She had me do a class and helped me find one that fit into my schedule. The judge wanted me to do the class and so I am glad I did ...it before we went to court. I had her cell number and her email and she always listened to me and answered questions - even if I called at night. I would definitly go back to her for anything else or recomend her to a friend.

Bad Attorney

Never helped, never responded, never shows up... I lost everything and I was garnished. Took her 2.5 years to call me back. I called and faxed weekly. Sent someone else to cover my bankruptcy and never told me til the morning of. Horrible, painful experience !

We are very troubled by your review and am begging you to call the office and please talk to you about your situation. It is of the utmost importance for me to above all good customer service to all of our clients and make sure they feel they can always reach one of us to speak to. Your situation, nor your name, bring up no situations we have in our office and I would sincerely ask you to call me so I can discuss what happened and be given the chance to rectify any situations.

Helped me alot

Mrs. Van Bergen was referred to me by a friend and I would refer her to a family member or friend now also. I had been sued and they took money out of my bank account and I had a lot of IRS bills from a long time ago. She also got the money back they took out of my account. She worked with me on p...aying her to. I did not think she could help me with the tax stuff but she did and now I do not owe them anymore. I had her cell number and called her after work all the time and she always was nice.

Deborah has been fantastic in helping me with my bankruptcy situation. She stood with my every step of the way both in keeping me informed of the progress as well as helping me to make the right decisions and getting a reasonable plan in place to resolve my situation. She also went above and beyon...d in guiding me through my mortgage modification which was not a part of my bankruptcy plan. She has been a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services.

Worry Free

I hired Debbie to help me out of a very tenuous situation. She listened to me and knew how important this was for me to settle and she proved it in her actions. Debbie explained all I needed to know to make an informed decision during our first phone call. After that call, I knew I was not going to l...ook for another attorney for representation. She always made herself available to answer any question for me (day, night and weekends). Debbie made me feel as if I were her only client. She is trustworthy and non-judgmental. Debbie prepared me for what process I could expect. Walking out of her office after our first meeting, a great amount of worry was lifted off my shoulders. I knew I was working with the perfect person. She took care of my case the next day, gave me a call to let me know my case resulted in my favor! Which relieved me of stress and anxiety, I learned she is a woman of her word. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for representation. I can't thank her enough for how she was able to turn what seemed like a hopeless situation, completely around for me.
