I hired Culver and his team of proffesionals for my divorce.I had two lawyers previous to this lawfirm that did not compare.Culver and myself spent many hours preparing for trial, one night we picked through thousands of pieces of paper until 3 in the morning.I consider Culver and his team child advo...cates. I walked into their office, told them my situation concearning my children and custody issues.I was up against many false allegations.It took about 2 weeks and these guys had this situation under control.I am very greatful for all the hard work leading to a fair result in my divorce.If you are involved in a high contested divorce I would highly reccomend Culver and his team.

Sometimes Fathers wind up with difficult situations merely because accusations are made against them. It is interesting to go to hell and back to get clients out of terrible messes. I believe in Karma and this particular case had a lot of Karma built up… the truth just needed to get out, but settlement is sometimes even more reasonable for the entire family than revisiting the past. I'm proud of how both parties and both attorneys in this case were able to move forward for the sake of the children. I'm not big on all-nighters unless someone kicks the beehive and thinks it will go without a response.

Intelligent and Insightful

When dealing with something as important as child custody issues, Culver is beyond compare. I had an emergency custody situation arise. In less than one week of becoming involved, Culver prepared our case, filed for an emergency hearing and the issue was resolved 100% in our favor. That simple! Howev...er, this case was anything but simple. Culver was able to cut through the lies and manipulation and bring to light the truth. I can not thank him enough for the his genuine concern and expertise in securing what is in the best interest of my family.

Rescued from the Fire!

My previous attorney and I were being destroyed by my Ex and her attorney. I luckily found Mr. Van Der Jagt and after the initial consultation I decided to replace my exiting legal counsel with Mr. Van Der Jagt. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He took me as a client when I had pend...ing domestic violence charges and potential punitive contempt of court charges. After receiving his help I ended up with a final judgment where I was awarded 100% decision making and parenting time of my minor children. In addition, I was not required to pay a dime of long term maintenance and I had no contempt or domestic violence conviction. My previous attorney believed that if we were lucky we would end up splitting time and decision making and I’d have a least a decade of maintenance payments to my Ex, not to mention the other charges that I might have been found guilty of. The good results I ultimately achieved were due to Mr. Van Der Jagt’s knowledge of the law, his strategy and his courage to aggressively confront all opposition. He flat took care of business and took care of me and my children. He first reacted to urgent legal threats and then dug deep to understand the individuals in the case. He then crafted his strategy based on the knowledge he had gained. He nailed it. He was actually able to change the entire focus of the case. This change proved to be the strategic advantage that we needed to re-frame the case in the judges mind. He really cared about what was best for the children and advised me on the correct decisions and actions to take regarding the children. He was tough with the opposing counsel yet gentile with the children. It seems as if he pulled me from the fire that was going to destroy my children and my life. And now my life is peaceful and my relationship with my children is healthy and completely intact. I’m extremely grateful to Mr. Van Der Jagt. To top it off, he was really fair and reasonable with his billing time and rate. He could have easily charged more. He is actually a modern day hero that showed up quickly with his legal guns blazing and rescued a family that was perishing. KMO
