Great experience
I hired Denise to help me through my divorce. She and her team were responsive and explained things well throughout the process. Going through a divorce is hard enough, having Denise and her team to help with all the details was super helpful.

"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."
