Efficient

Jeremiah handled several issues for my business formation as well as provided his expert legal advice on insurance needs during my transition to a business owner. His professionalism and expedient service was a great help to me during this process and wouldn't have went as smoothly as it did without... him. I'd recommend him to anyone for legal counsel.

Highly recommended

Jeremiah provided excellent service. Very informative, professional and compassionate about his clients. You can tell he has a lot of experience in his field of expertise. He is quick to respond to emails and explains things so you can understand the process and you feel he is a true advocate for you.... If you are looking for an honest, hardworking attorney, I highly recommend him!

If there is such a thing as an honest lawyer..

Back in April of 2014, I inquired several lawyers about my work related injury. A few lawyers blew me off, wanting me to make an appointment a few weeks out, others promised me to get the max amount, then there was Mr. Jeremiah Van Dora. The day that I called him was 3 days after my injury and at 4:4...5pm. Not only was he a soft spoken individual that cared what happened and asking follow up questions, but he wanted to see me that day. I lived a half hour away and I have never heard of a lawyer that stayed late, unless it was right before a hearing or a trial (I grew up with attorneys and judges). This man treated me as if I have been a part of his family, genuinely cared for my well being, never once promised me the world or blow smoke up my pant leg-but promised me WE would get through this together. Not only is this man caring, but he is passionate about his career. Mr. Van Dora had told me from the start what I was entitled to (medical and weekly compensation), what I should expect from him, and what was expected of me. I'm not much of a phone person, and Mr. Van Dora and I would send emails back and forth. It was easier for both of us to recall information, keeping records, and faster communication. He has made this terrible work accident (that has temporarily disabled me) a positive experience. He made it positive by constantly reminding me that this isn't permanent and this will heal. He was encouraging the entire time he represented me. My entire case lasted 9 months. Within those 9 months, I knew that everything was taken care of because of our open line of communication. He had my best interest in mind and executed a plan when the insurance company wasn't upholding their end. I am forever grateful for what this man has done and I will never forget how he treated me, like a person. I am very blessed that I had the opportunity to have him as my attorney.

Good man. Someone you want in your corner.

Mr. Van Dora is very reliable and willing to work with you. He will do all the hard work and never leave you blinded. When he says he will keep you informed. Even when you thinking, hey what is going on he will pop up either in your inbox, phone call, text or an email. He doesn't quit. Even when you ...are impatient. I recommend this guy for any work. Mine was Family Law, what he did not know he learned just to make things right and get better results. He will always be straight forward with you, that is just the way he is going to be, Van Dora is top of his game so expect the truth and he will do what he can. If i had to do things all over again, i would pay this guy again.
