Timothy Trichler, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer is one of the most ethical in West Michigan. His aggressive representation ensures that his client gets a fair outcome. If I personally needed a lawyer, I would have Vandenhuvel on my short list.
