Ian M A Van Leer

Ian Van Leer is a blessing. I believe that God has appointed him to support me during this very trying period in my life. Ian has guided me through filing for Child Support Modification as well as helped clarify/resolve Child custody issues. My ex and I have played tug-o-war in the court room for over 8 years. I've had another attorney representing me for the first 6 years and then I decided to represent myself last year. This year, I was fully prepared to go through the hearing myself (since I wasn't getting the results I wanted in the first few years anyway), but when my husband and I met Ian, we were both impressed. He listened to us. He answered all our questions, guided me every step of the way, returned my phone calls promptly...he was there all throughout. My husband and I knew that we want Ian with me during the hearing. And wow! He did an awesome job! My dealings with my ex has been highly emotionally charged and even during the hearing, Ian helped me maintain my cool, he didn't allow the other party to disrespect me, he handled all the negotiations very well. Ian's demeanor all throughout has been gentle, kind and fair (even to the other party). And that I believe was the key to us getting agreement in the points we wanted. He came fully prepared and has all the facts covered, even if I've just been working with him for a couple of months. This was the 'best' experience I had in the court. The judge complimented him for the hard work, as he ironed out all the issues and presented all the agreements to the judge. All the judge had to do was to ensure that both parties (myself and the other part) agree to the points Ian recited. So impressive. He's efficient, on time, professional, calm and more importantly.... he truly cares. I wish he represented me from the very beginning. We wouldn't have been in court for all those years! Ian is definitely the one to hire if you need representation / legal advice on family law. Do yourself a huge favor. Meet him and hire him. You can thank me later for my recommendation. God bless you!

Ian was able to help my partners and I start our first business, and I don't know how we would have done it without him. He guided us through the first steps in starting a business, what permits we needed, and all the the answers to our questions through the way. He responded day-of to every email, got us our permits super quickly, and was there for anything we needed.

It's not often we find an attorney that you can fully trust and depend on when you are going through one of the toughest journey's in life - divorce. My divorce is almost final and I can't be more grateful that I found Ian. Ian is intelligent, compassionate and reliable. He sincerely cares about what you are going through. He will take the time to listen to you, present a plan and fight for everything you deserve. Thank you Ian, for all you have done for me any my boys!
