Client recommendation
Mr. Bryan VanMeveren represented me in an auto accident lawsuit. My case was very difficult, complex and challenging which took about one and one-half years to bring to a satisfactory conclusion. Being an extremely stressful time for me, I appreciated his patience, understanding, and keeping me informed of the status of my case. Bryan represents excellence in professionalism, knowledge, ethics, high morals and providing personal attention. I highly recommend Bryan VanMeveren and the entire VanMeveren Law Group

Reliable service
I used the services of VanMeveren Law Group following a bike accident. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Brian and his group. The biggest advantage I had is that I did not have to worry about any of the hassle with my insurance or third party insurance. Everything was taken care of from start to end and I was always briefed of the situations. The case was handled in a very professional manner and at the same time Brian was very patient in explaining the legal issues to me. He is very knowledgeable and understanding and his office delivers very promptly.

Fantastic Service
I received a call back almost immediately from this firm. The attorney had read my lengthy email and had Natalie contact me (almost immediately after I submitted the online form). Natalie was fantastic and empathetic about the situation I was in. I was referred to another firm and hope their responsiveness is as impressive as this one.

They are very family oriented, professional and great at their jobs. We work with Karl and will do so if we ever need representation in the future. They contacted us weekly for the nearly year it took to complete this case.

Completely maximized my case!!
The team at VanMeveren did an exceptional job in proving my case, and reaching an amazing settlement with the main insurance company!! I thought my case was pretty much closed. However, the lawyer I worked with Karl, and the rest of the team continued down every avenue of recovery involved in my case! This included more reductions of medical bills, as well as showing possible future surgeries to my UIM carrier to prove that claim!! There are many reasons I'm sure people are giving ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐to VanMeveren law group, and I am no exception!!! This law firm truly cares about injured people, and making sure that we are legally represented properly with care and compassion! If you do decide to hire VanMeveren law group, be prepared to be impressed!! Possibly even shocked at their professionalism and hard work! Personal injury cases can take a little bit of time to work through, but you won't find a better group of people to go through the process with!! In my case, I feel like I expanded my family which now includes the VanMeveren law group!! Thanks Again Everyone!!!!

They go to bat for you!
We worked with Karl and Andrea and are very happy with the outcome. They were very responsive and kept us updated often even when there wasn't much to update. (Waiting for the other side to respond can take a while). I was impressed with their friendliness and empathy. They explained things in a way that we could understand without treating us like we were dumb. We felt heard and valued. They went to bat for us and didn't let us get railroaded. I hope I don't need them again but if we do we will definitely call them again. Thank you Karl and Andrea and everyone at the VanMeveren office!

Experience with Troy and Amy
Troy did everything I asked of him. He always responded to my questions and right away. Amy went above any questions that I had. I would recommend them both if I know of anyone who needed a lawyer. They made this whole process easy for me.

Thank you so much for your help!
After being run down by a careless driver while riding my bike, I needed to take advantage of a free legal consultation. I am forever grateful to this compassionate group of people who pointed me in the right direction and taught me about some of the ins and outs of insurance claims. A very big thank you to both Bryan and Troy who provided me with encouragement and valuable information. They were both so knowledgeable and generous with their time. I now feel very confident moving forward and handling this claim on my own. If I needed to hire an attorney, I would not hesitate to contact the VanMeveren Law Group. Thank you!!

Karl Hager and VanMeveren took great care of me
I worked with Karl Hager after I got hit by a car while biking to work. From our very first meeting (taken with my arm still in a sling and my wrist still in a cast), he and the team at VanMeveren Law Group were nothing less than spectacular. He was attentive, answered every single question I could throw at him, and never stopped advocating forcefully on my behalf. My case was complicated and took more than a year to finally settle, but Karl was always on the ball and always cheerful, and constantly kept me well informed about our progress. In the end, we settled my case for much more money than I had ever expected walking in. I felt well taken care of and would recommend Karl and the team at VanMeveren generally to anyone who asked. This was as painless and positive an experience as I could ever imagine in a legal case.

Jolene led me through not one accident but two. I highly recommend her for your needs. Jolene and Andrea kept me well informed. Very prompt to notify me, phone calls and emails quickly returned. They are very knowledgeable, and if I am ever in need in the future,I will only reach out to them.

Professional, Persistent, and Productive
Our personal injury case was a difficult situation for the VanMeveren law group to have taken. There were complexities compounded by actions taken by the defendants, such as erasing a video tape which would have confirmed our story. This case took over two years to get settled in our favor. It finally did, thanks to the incredible persistence by our lead attorney Troy Ukasick with the backing of his staff and the VanMeveren firm. Troy's knowledge and experience was the correctly applied measure to get this case resolved. He diligently overcame resistance, evasion and obfuscation by the defendants' attorney who, in my view, wasted a lot of everyone's time. Troy knew the procedures and was highly efficient in the law and process. In all that legalese, he also was always personable and cared about us as human beings. On a personal note, lawsuits usually aren't fun. But the act of walking into Troy's office was always pleasant. Troy and his legal assistant Amy were personable, gracious, professional and even fun to be around. They made the anticipated "misery" of legal proceedings into something understandable and clear. It was always a joy to be in their presence. While I hope to never endure legal proceedings again, if I had to I would immediately turn to Troy and his team for their guidance. Everyone is truly appreciated and I thank them.

My Experience with VanMeveren Law
If I could give 10 stars, I would! My husband died in March, as a result of being hit by a driver who had fallen asleep at the wheel. The day after he passed, I called VanMeveren Law and was guided through the entire process every step of the way. Bryan communicated frequently by phone and was most caring and attentive to my needs and situation. Legal Assistant, Jenn, was extremely helpful in explaining everything to me, since "legalese" is fairly foreign to me. God willing, something like this never happens again, but if it did, I would retain VanMeveren Law without any hesitation!

Incredible Firm
I was very hesitant to contact a law firm to help my son and I with two unrelated incidents. As soon as we met with the professionals at VanMeveren Law Group and specifically Karl Hager I knew that we had made the right decision. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karl. He is professional, ethical, and brilliant as well as compassionate and truly caring. Karl knew my hesitations and concerns with each of these suits and he made sure that they were handled sensitively and with integrity. I felt like I was a part of the process and I was informed about the progress in both cases on a consistent basis. Karl and Andrea were both easily accessible and were willing to answer questions as well as listen to any thoughts or concerns I might have throughout the entire process. Karl and his associates had flawless customer service and made sure that they knew every detail of both of our cases. It is with high regard that I recommend this group to anyone who may ever need their assistance.

What a stress relief.
After being involved in a head on vehicle collision and trying to deal with the insurance companies myself, I quickly figured out that it would be in my best interest to get an attorney. After a brief consultation with Bryan, was confident that I made the right decision. Bryan assigned Karl Hager to my case, Karl made it clear that his first concern, and priority was getting me back to being healthy. Karl kept in touch with me throughout the entire process, he explained the process step by step and always kept me updated on new information by calling on a weekly basis. Not only did he do a great job of keeping me educated about my options In the end, I was extremely happy with how things worked out.

Personal injury Attorney | Aug 20
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"Bryan VanMeveren is the attorney I recommend to my friends and family. He is an expert in the field of personal injury. I think that his experience of working on both the plaintiff and defendant side of insurance cases gives him a deeper knowledge of how to get the best settlement for his clients. His case analysis is thorough, concise and all encompassing. He has built a solid reputation with insurance companies of producing quality work which gives his clients the advantage of quicker than average settlements. His hard work, ethics and honesty have given him a sterling reputation in the legal community as well. Clients do not hesitate to recommend him, not only because of the settlements he has brought them, but because he treats each client like family. He knows that a lot of times people are going through some of the toughest times in their lives and he will always take the time to talk one on one with a client. He makes their lives a priority in his life."
