Leslie E. Van Alstine II

Les handled my divorce with knowledge and wisdom for what would be best for when everything was done. When I had a thought or a wish that would be negative in the long run or when I was otherwise being short sighted, Les gave it to me straight. He pointed out the things that would be best for the k...ids, even if he knew that I didn't want to hear it. Afterwards I looked back and was happy for his advice and guidance. He gave me advice on things not court related because he cares for people. He has the skills in the courtroom and in negotiations for everything to run as smoothly as possible. He has my full confidence and recommendation.

I am excellent at building things, but not very good at reading people. there are powerful and unsavory folks out there who look to take advantage of someone like me. I did not realize it at first, but the general contract he created for my business has protected me from these folks more than once.... I actually had one person from the East Coast screaming profanities at me, regarding the quality of my contract, then asked for the name of my lawyer so he might utilize him. another potential client was very specific about his dislike for my contract, and in hindsight, I am fortunate to have lost that job. It may seem like a lot of money for some of us, at first, but it is so worth it in the long run. Good people will not mind a good contract, and those are the folks I want to work for.

I practice personal injury law in Colorado, but knew that I needed sound legal advice before entering into a real estate transaction in Michigan. I did my homework, found the high-ratings earned by Mr. Van Alstine on AVVO and chose him for representation. I was not disappointed, he was thorough, th...oughtful and very knowledgeable. He provided excellent legal counsel and in the future, if needed, I will certainly seek his help again.

From the moment you walk in the office, you feel at ease and taken care of. Mr. Van Alstine was recommended to me by an attorney that a friend of mine works for, who was unable to take my case because of time & travelling. I am so glad I followed his advice, and called Les. Les has been an invaluable... ally during the last two years, in handling custody issues regarding my son. I have since recommended Les to many others needing legal advice. With Les, you're not just a client or a case number.
