Sandy Van is the managing partner and founder of Van Law Firm, a personal injury law firm located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Legal Support Help. She is a personal injury attorney licensed to practice law in Nevada state and federal courts and Washington state courts. Sandy is also a widely recognized realtor and founder of Van Group Real Estate.

The first stage of Ms. Van’s career was spent handling civil litigation, business litigation, contract disputes, and other matters for various local firms. Then in 2012, she founded Van Law Firm with just two other employees. In the years since the firm has grown to a staff of over 100. Van Law Firm currently has two locations--one in Las Vegas and the other in Lakewood, Washington.

In her practice thus far, Ms. Van has amassed numerous awards and industry honors. Nevada Business Press named her one of the state’s “Legal Elite” from 2013-2016, and again in 2018. In both 2014 and 2015, Desert Companion Magazine awarded Sandy the Top Lawyer award, and Super Lawyers included her in their “Rising Stars'' category every year from 2015-2019. Ms. Van has also been awarded Avvo’s Client’s Choice Award 7 times and counting.

Ms. Van is an alumna of the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and remains an active member of the Boyd Alumni Association. Prior to law school, she also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from UNLV as well.

Client service and versatility are both hallmarks of Van Law Firm, as tailored strategies are applied to each case depending on the accident itself and the specific insurers involved. Unlike most successful firms, VLF only takes on a certain number of cases at any given time, which ensures that each case gets the attention it deserves in order to recover maximum compensation. Clients have recognized these efforts with over 500 5-star reviews across Avvo, Google, and Yelp.

Above all, Ms. Van and the entire Van Law Firm staff are passionate about serving the community. Over the years, she has donated tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours to various causes such as local food banks and supply drives for Clark County students and teachers. This sense of community also extends nationwide, as Ms. Van has also contributed to hurricane relief efforts and natural disasters across the country.

Always Professional, Hightly Recommended
I recommend Sandy anytime someone mentions that they need a trustworthy lawyer. Sandy and her team are very responsive, attentive and extremely thorough. Any questions I had were immediately answered and I was kept up to date on what to expect and when. Sandy's personal attentiveness and follow through with her clients never make you feel as if you are just another number or forgotten about, which is one of the most important qualities a law firm should have. I have used Sandy for multiple cases and have been extremely pleased with every outcome. She is very well rounded and educated with every case in which she has represented me. Thank You Sandy for always being so consistent and considerate!

This review is for Amanda Gabrielle Andres! I selected Van Law, outside of Avvo! I connected with Amanda, right away! I could tell that she cares about her clients! That is why I went with Van Law! Every time she sent me an update, I felt like I was in good hands! She was upbeat, honest, ethical, nice and sincere! Amanda did a great job! I felt like I was in good hands! Trust is key! I trusted Amanda, completely! I feel blessed and grateful for all she did! I would recommend Amanda to anyone! I think highly of her! Van Law is the only Law Firm I will use! Sincerely yours, Clifford

Van Law Firm won my case!
I had a car accident on February 6th of 2023. And since the moment that I contacted Norma everything went smooth. They do a great job explaining the process as a first time having an injury in a car accident. Didn't have to pay a single dime to start the process. They do an excellent job following up with the clients and asking if the medical services are helping. Overall their service was incredible and I would recommend to anyone who has gone through the same experience. I have no doubts that if something similar happens in the future, I'll be the first one calling Van Law Firm.

Outstanding law firm!
This was very unusual for me due to I usually am hired by attorney’s for legal video services not hiring them , but in this case after having a rear ended accident with a big rig a close friend that is a criminal attorney suggested I look on the avvo sight for Sandy van, I did and after a lengthy conversation with Sandy I felt really comfortable with her knowledge and abilities, to hire her and her staff which is now a firm. Once here team contacted me (Norma, and Janeris,) for the relevant information they literally took care of everything from there including making sure that I was receiving the necessary medical attention that was needed and keeping me informed of the status of the case, azure also did an outstanding job and I have nothing but compliments for Sandy and here firm
