Valerie Anne Bell

I first hired Valerie in 1993. I've continued to consult with her on occasion over the years as recently as today in 2026. My siblings and now my kids rely on Valerie's no nonsense, no drama approach to family law. I have found Valerie to be a calming influence when it comes to difficult issues. She ...is up to date on the law and committed to what is reasonable, fair, equitable and in my case, what is in the best interest of the kids. Valerie's recommendations stood the test of years without the need to revisit issues. I highly suggest anyone in need of a family law attorney hire Valerie. She is straightforward, efficient and knowledgeable. Plus, she's personable.

I was facing a potentially costly divorce after my lovely wife made false DV allegations to get a Green Card. Valerie listened to me without prejudice and immediately understood the situation: "We need to get her out of your house!" Throughout the depressing and oftentimes maddening process—my wif...e's slander and perjury were brazen and continuous—Valerie always told me what I needed to hear and expertly managed my expectations (and my anger about being a victim of marriage fraud.) Working on the arbitration letters with her was an exhilarating experience. Ultimately we got her out of my house as quickly as possible with as little financial damage as could be expected for an extremely reasonable price. I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Valerie and her crack squad of paralegals for navigating any kind of contentious divorce.

I hired Valerie Bell to help me wade through the financial, legal, and emotional morass of a divorce after 34 years of turbulent marriage. I highly recommend Valerie because she quickly assessed my situation and formulated a plan. She also had a keen understanding of my emotions during a very trying ...time and listened with a sympathetic ear. I found her staff responsive and professional too. I can tell a lot about a business by how the staff treats me. I’ve never been divorced before, but I would not hesitate to hire her again if it did happen.
