I would like to share the profound impact Joe VanDervoort and his staff has had on my life. I was facing long term, mandatory jail time and I was consumed with fear that my life was over. The best decision I ever made was placing the out-come in Joe's hands. I asked, "What was I to do?" Joe simply sm...iled and said, "relax, we're going to keep you out of jail. I'll take care of everything; you live your life." I followed his instructions and my life was not only restored, but improved as a result of this seemingly impossible experience. To say "money well spent" would be grossly understating the level of professionalism of Mr. VanDervoort and his legal staff.

Joe and staff did an overall fantastic job of representing me and getting me through the process and system! Considering my circumstances, I thought I was going to be toast, but with Joe, it wasn't so. He and staff kept, and continue to keep, me well informed of what's going on. I feel very comfor...table and secure with the VanDervoort Law Office, and highly recommend them to any and everyone in need of legal representation or advice. I also found Joe's website to be extremely informative and enlightening. Make a lunch, pull up a chair, and read the entire thing; you will gain a great deal of knowledge from it.

First, thank you to Dawn, Joe's always attentive and considerate office manager that I spoke to at least a hundred times! Dawn kept me sane at times when Mr. Vandervoort was unavailable and really helped me out with the whole legal process during my case. She went above and beyond what I expected and... for that I say THANK YOU DAWN!!! As for Mr Vandervoort it was an education process from the get go! I believe when anyone hires a lawyer that they believe they have a chance at getting a fair deal out of it and I was no different. It has nothing to do with the fact that you hire this person to represent you in a manner that far exceeds what a Public Defender can or even will do for you but goes into the realm of above and beyond your expectations. This was the first time I have ever felt the need to hire an attorney and I must admit it was an overwhelming experience. I knew I was in over my head and I just had this gut feeling that getting a professional would be the way to go. I was so right! My initial visit was started on time, was not rushed one bit and I felt properly informed/prepared for what was to come. I thought for sure the first thing that was going to be discussed was PAYMENT. I was WRONG! That was the last thing we discussed and for that amongst many reasons are why I hired Mr. Vandervoort and his associates to handle my complicated case. My case had many, many, MANY different twists and turns but not once did I ever feel that I was not being represented properly. Mr. Vandervoort set my mind at ease during a very stressful period in my life. Not only did I lose a very close family member in the months before I walked into Mr. Vandervoorts' office but I was also relocating to a different area for a major medical operation that put me in the dirt in a major way. I thought I was screwed for sure because of being on so much medication and just being plain out of it. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not only did Mr. Vandervoort, his associates and Dawn help guide me along with filing new motions to help me extend my trial so I could be coherent during the whole time but it was all done from about 250 miles away....and I felt great about it. This was not something I just threw money at and said, "take care of it." No. This was something that required my full attention to the best of my ability and together we achieved the best possible outcome. Now, I don't know about anyone else but handling a case in person is stressful enough but via telephone, email, fax and text messages? That is a whole different ball game but they nailed it for me and I couldn't be happier with my experience. In closing I would just like to say that if you find yourself in a compromising position and need the assistance of professional, courteous and prompt attorney then you should look no further than Joe Vandervoort! Thank you!

Mr. VanDervoort is a true professional. He was quick and decisive in dealing with my DUI. I felt that he keep me very informed throughout the DMV and court process. Whether it be by phone or correspondence. I chose to represent myself on a serperate simple restitution hearing. I failed to appear at... my hearing because of a personel matter. Mr. Vandervoort reconiized that I was not responding to my name being called in court and stood up to represent me. This saved me from having some serious legal repercussions. I'm am truly grateful.
