Trusted Legal Advisor

I’ve known Attorney Van Larson since 1997. He is one of the top lawyers in Kane County and the State of Illinois. He has represented me in countless legal matters, including several complicated family law matters and real estate transactions. He is well-respected within the legal community having wit...nessed his interactions with opposing counsel, judges and other legal professionals in the courtroom. Additionally, I’ve referred countless individuals and every one who has chosen him for representation has expressed how pleased they were with his legal expertise and results. He is one of the fairest, most realistic attorneys I’ve ever known. He shoots straight and doesn’t over promise. He listens to his clients, and is very patient when working through challenging and emotionally charged circumstances. No matter what the legal matter, hands down, I would recommend Van to consult with you. He will give a fair assessment and will only take your case if he believes he’s the best person for the job.

Consistently dedicated, honest and detail orientated representation.

I would like to thank Van for his dedicated and personal service to myself and family over the last ten+ years. I was consistently reassured by his honest and upfront style, particularly in our notably difficult custody case. I appreciated his sensitivity to our individual circumstance, by not ap...plying a "one size fits all" approach to our case. I can not thank him enough for making it possible for our niece to grow up in a safe and stable home. She has successfully graduated high school and is now attending college. For Van's exceptional representation of us in this case as plaintiffs, as well as his work with us as defendants in our personal injury case, I will continue to highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice. Thank you! Laura R.

Above all, Integrity and Wisdom

I work hard to give my clients the opportunity they need to meet their stated goals. They rely on me to be trustworthy, responsive to their needs, and respectful of their right to choose their own path. When my clients are facing legal matters, my expectations are that their attorney will represent... them with the same passion and integrity. Van Larson puts his all into what he does. He offers no-nonsense counsel, and demands accountability from the system and his clients. I like that about him. Job well done, Van!

Landlord-Tenant

When my wife and I were looking for a lawyer to represent us, we came across Van A. Larson, P.C. He provided us input before we made the decision to hire him. We ultimately decided to go with Van because he seemed to genuinely care. He returned our calls/emails in timely manner. He explained ...in detail what was going to happen and what we should expect, but left the final decision up to us. He never pushed us to make any decision, but rather provided us facts to come to our own conclusion.
