Thorough, Quick, Kind
I had a great experience. Alex worked really hard to get things handled on my case that was making no movement prior. I’m so grateful for all of Van Sant Law’s help. If you need an attorney after an accident that you know means business, this is your guy! Best choice I could have made when it came to handling my case.

Great Firm and Great results
I was rear ended at a stop light and ended up with relatively mild injuries but did have Doctor appointments and follow-ups as well as some physical therapy. I was offered a settlement by the driver's insurance company and luckily, I contacted Van Sant Law before accepting their offer. Greg with Van Sant Law was great. He negotiated my case with the driver's insurance company obtaining a settlement more than 5 times the original offer. Greg and everyone at Van Sant law were attentive, professional and walked me through every step in the process. Their fee is very reasonable for the work they did, and they did not nickel and dime me to pad their fee. Would highly recommend Van Sant law for your legal needs.

Van Sant Delivers Amazing Outcome
David Van Sant was amazing. I was injured when a worked ran into me with a pallet mover. The claims agent offered me a miniscule amount of money when I tried to settle the case myself. Van Sant Law came highly recommended. From the moment I hired David, he took control of the case instilling great confidence in me that he and the Van Sant Team were going to fight hard for me. They were very professional keeping me apprised of the case status all along the way. In the end, I received a settlement more than 10 times the initial offer; I would never have been able to do this myself. I would recommend Van Sant Law to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They know their business and will fight hard to get you the best financial outcome. - Nicole

Extremely Amazing Law Firm
Van Sant LA was very professional and quick with getting me my settlement. Any questions I had along the way, they were right there to answer. They made sure I received the best medical care for my injures. I'm so glad I chose Van Sant Law for my motor vehicle accident case. The decision I made to fire my previous attorney turned out to be worth it! I will always recommend Van Sant Law to anyone that needs Professional, reliable, legal help.

Thanks for having my back
I was injured in a car accident while in GA and they helped me handle everything without me being ran through the ringer. Very professional set appointments up with trusted doctors and therapist and got my case settled quickly just in time for the holidays. They took good care of me, and minimized me having to do any footwork. Recommend them to anyone in need.

Good and positive experience.
Once I contacted the office of Mr. Van Sant, I received clear instructions on how to get started. This included an overview of the process and what to expect. Then, the process started, and I was very impressed by the fact that if and when I had questions, I always got an answer. It was nice to put the whole messy problem of my accident into the hands of Mr. Van Sant from beginning to end. The accident is behind me, and now I know where to go the next time. I came out of this process a happy client. Thanks for everything!
