Bastiaan Dixon Vandenberg

Bastiaan stepped in last minute with calm confidence and a genuine sense of care for my situation. He listened first, asked the right questions, and then laid out a clear plan that made a tense moment feel manageable. In court, he showed the judge how the other party was not telling the truth, calmly... connecting the dots and revealing the baselessness of the TRO. It wasn’t just about winning—it felt like having someone in your corner who truly believes you deserve safety and fairness. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines sharp strategy with real humanity, Bastiaan is who you want by your side.

I initially hired a different lawyer for my child custody case, and even though she was with me to start my case, I chose to let her go and went with a different recommendation. Mr. Vandenberg is very thorough, communicates very promptly, and picked up immediately where the previous lawyer left off.... This is something I appreciated as new things kept popping up in my case, and he was there to listen to my concerns( complaints) every time and gave me a realistic idea/approach to the situation. When my mediation report was released, it was clear as day that the report went in my ex-husband's favor. I gathered every piece of evidence needed that was mentioned in mediation to provide for my hearing the following 2 days. I met up with Mr. Vandenberg before the hearing, going over the documents and last-minute changes that needed to be made before appearing in front of the judge. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated Mr. Vandenberg calling my ex-husband out for not answering the question or counteracting the lie that was said about me with the papers I brought with me. Everything was said and done to mostly get what I wanted out of my court hearing. Which is what I was asking for. Even during the drafting of the stipulations, Mr. Vandenberg kept me grounded and calm while being near my ex-husband. If I need to go back to court again, I will definitely be giving him a call. Pros: Fast communication Reliable Honest/realistic No nonsense Cons: None in my personal experience
