Denise is extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. She gives all information without a bias and walked me through everything step by step. She was spot on in her analysis of my case and followed through on all of her commitments. I would highly recommend.

Denise is an excellent attorney who has done far more for me than I ever thought possible. She exceeded all of my expectations!

"I endorse this lawyer. Denise is professional and has an excellent reputation in the legal community. I share office space with her but I have experience with her work for several years prior to having an office with her."
"I highly endorse Ms. VanLanduyt. I have worked with her on several legal matters and find her highly qualified, empathetic to clients and extremely professional. She is one of the most sought-after Guardians ad litem for very good reason, and she is a highly skilled mediator and family law practitioner."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have served as a mediator when Denise represented a client in the mediation. She is knowledgeable, prepared, an effective advocate for her client and also understands the benefits of reaching a settlement of the issues through mediation as opposed to the client enduring a more expensive and prolonged battle in court."
