Van Valkenburgh Law, PLLC

Mr. Van Valkenburgh had represented me due to an injury I suffered from a product purchased from one of the largest retail stores in America. Jack never failed to return my calls and emails and did so in a timely manner. He answered all of my questions in detail, drafted compelling Court papers ...and smartly negotiated a very satisfactory settlement of my case. I would recommend Van Valkenburgh Law, PLLC if you suffer an injury due to negligence or a wrongful act. I was extremely pleased with the legal representation that Jack provided me. Robert J.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"While representing a client in a recent civil rights case, I needed to intervene in my own case as a party and asked Jack to represent me. Fortunately for me, he said yes. Not only did we win that case in the District Court, Jack and I won at the Ninth Circuit. Thanks Jack!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
