Not a lawyer that protects your defense

Brick decided to support the police chief that he knew rather to do his job that i paid him to do and give me good defense.

Exceptional Law Firm

I can't say enough how happy I am th...at I was referred to this law firm and that everyone I dealt with was unbelievable nice and professional."

Excellent Attorney - Worth the Wait!

I hired Mr. Van Der Snick for several traffic tickets a few years ago and he was able to save my license from being suspended, as I had too many tickets on my record. I then hired him last year for a DUI charge that I received in Kane County. I had to wait to get an appointment with him, but it was... WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Mr. Van Der Snick is an AMAZING attorney. He was able to get my DUI charges dismissed, which I never thought to be possible. He not only answered all my questions clearly and precisely, his staff also made sure to notify me of every court date by letter and by phone call. His staff is very professional and friendly! They are always there to answer your questions if the attorney is in court. I would recommend Brick to any family or friend that I have who is in need of an attorney.

Unbelieveable Attorney

I used Mr. Vandersnick who came highly recommended to me from a great law firm! I was amazed at the way his office worked. They were always so pleasant in my difficult time and really were down to earth people who worked well together. The outcome was amazing and he was always on my side! He is not y...our "normal" attorney! Jordan and Kelly are huge assetts to this attorney and I can't say enough thanks for the work they put into my case. Always informed me of everything that was going on. I never had to contact them in order to find out where the process was on my case. It was a horrible situation made into a good experience simply because they cared! The outcome was something I am still shaking my head wondering how it turned out as it did! I would definitely recommend Mr. Vandersnick for any DUI case. I am forever in debt to this man for all the hard work and results he has provided me. He gave me hope when I had thought all hope was gone! All I can say is that I made the right decision to hire Mr. Vandersnick and completely happy with the service I was provided. I haven't one negative thing to say in regards to his team in the office and his ability to work magic in the court room! Thank God for attorneys as himself! :) "It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others." Dalai Lama

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
