    Excellent Attorney and Excellent Results!

    Posted by

    I received immediate service and excellent results. This attorney had a good relationship with the judges and clerks at the courthouse. Her staff is excellent. Great website!

    I would hire this attorney again. That's the highest compliment I can give.

    Excellent attorney for child custody case

    Posted by

    Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel was very knowledgeable and understood our needs in my family's custody case. She was well respected by the court staff and Judges. She was very professional and experienced during the trial and made the lawyer for the other side look unprepared. We received the best outcome that we could have hoped for!

    Above and beyond - continued support

    Posted by

    Long drawn out custody case (not by us). Linda was always present and a listing ear to my concerns and able to secure 50/50 lot of her time was taken (naturally personal emotional issue). Naturally did not get what I wanted but Linda put me in my place rightfully so. Final custody agreement has been working very very well for the last year or so. Continues to be their for me with quick responses. Would never bet against Linda. She is worth every thing. Side note don’t make the same mistake I did, hire Linda off the bat and be clear and understanding of what is fair to the child. She will get you their! Worth everything and much more. Loving father

    Caring, Understanding and Exceptional in Court

    Posted by

    I could not be any happier with the results of my case. Attorney Vanden Heuvel was extremely thorough especially when it came to my custody and placement issues. Her guidance and support throughout the process was very helpful and alleviated the pressure of the divorce. Linda’s willingness to go above and beyond for me and my children was impressive. I highly recommend Linda. Her knowledge and extensive experience is something to be celebrated.

    Linda Vanden Heuvel's response: Thank you Emily. We worked very hard on your case, both you and me. It takes cooperation from you, coupled with my experience and legal skills to come up with a good result in your divorce and placement case. I appreciate your positive comments. Thank you very much.

    Highly Recommend

    Linda was referred to me by a friend that went through a divorce. When I met her for my free consultation she was very compassionate and understanding. I was very scared of the process and she assured me she would be there every step of the way. We had an issue with the opposing counsel trying to continually delay the process which was very frustrating to both of us. She assured me to just trust in her and be patient with the processes. Because of her tough negotiation skills she gave me an out come I was very pleased with. so If your looking for someone to represent you that is fair, tough, and compassionate I would highly recommend Linda.

    Strongly Reccomend

    Posted by

    Linda words cannot capture the happiness you have brought my family and I this year. Without you I would have missed too many more memories. The respect, appreaction and gratitude I have for your law firm I cant put to words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. While my case is ongoing, Linda has been there for me throughout and I could not imagine where I would be without her. She has always been accessible, very knowledgeable and strong. As a individual who started this as pro se (refused to spend money on an assumed given right to a child) to hiring a lawyer who rarely responded, to then hiring Linda. She is worth every penny and then a lot more; especially factoring in the fact she responds to the weekend / late night placement questions / concerns that arise last minute. Linda will look out for your interest as well as your child and will call a spade a spade. I would never bet against her and recommend her to any parent dealing with a custody matter.
