Simply awesome

Very caring and professional. Even 7 years after my BK she still took care of me when a utility company tried to collect.

Straight Forward

Deborah really worked with me when it was pertaining to my case, she is a very straight forward attorney and very helpful whenever I had a ton of questions. She was able to take care of everything in a timely manner and she is very professional.

My sons drug case - I am very greatful

I met attorney Van Bergen at a court house. My son was found with heroin and was driving. My son did not have any attorney and asked the court to move the court date and I saw her with someone else and asked her to answer some questions and she did. We met with her for free. She was very nice and... did not judge me or my son. She got him in some classes and helped him get a little straight so when we went back to court the judge was nicer. He was put on probation but does not have a guilty and I am very happy. She gave us numbers of rehabs and half way houses and seemed to care. She still always answers when I call her cell and ask questions - i recommend her.

Excellent Attorney. Highly recommend!

I was a pedestrian and I was hit by a car. I was scared and called Debbie (who was very professional) and she began advising me while I was waiting to be examined by the doctor. I wanted to make sure that I didn't say the wrong thing. Her office staff was super and I never had any problems getting... in contact with Debbie. She answered all of my questions and got me a great settlement without having to go to court. She fought for me and made me feel like I was her only client. I highly recommend her!!

Excellent Work!

I hired Deborah Van Bergen (Debbie) to help me obtain a peace order. I was being threatened and harassed at my place of employment. Debbie was extremely helpful, kind, and understanding. She helped me obtain the peace order and handled all the contact with the person who was threatening me. I did...n't have to worry about the legal details because Debbie took care of everything. She filed paperwork, conducted interviews with my witnesses, and we won the peace order in court. She answered every phone call in a timely manner and took the time to talk to me about every step in the process. I highly recommend Deborah Van Bergen and would hire her again without hesitation.
