VanDervoort was upfront about everything that was happening in my case. I was kept welll informed the entire time, absolutley no surprises. Since I was a full-time student (21.0 units) he even gave me a discount from $5,000 to $3,500, which was quite generous of him. Since he knows so many people in... the legal community he was also able to get me out of jail time. He's well known and respected throughout the legal/court system in Butte county.
