Amazing Attorney!

I hired Valerie Bell to represent me last June. She was very knowledgeable and clearly experienced, but my favorite thing about her was that she was so understanding. Everything I talked to her about she understood why I was feeling that way and believed in me even if it was about an issue that wasn'...t worth bringing to court. In which case she would explain to me why it wasn't something we should bring to court. In the courtroom she was professional and very prepared and it really showed when we won the court case. She is the best attorney I have ever worked with, and if I need one in the future, she will be the only one on my list to call.

Extremely satisfied

Valerie Bell, was recommended to me by a friend of mine who went through a similar situation. It was the very first time I had to deal with a legal matter and I felt very intimidated and overwhelmed.as I had the complication of dealing with a total different lingo, not in my native language. Dur...ing my ordeal, Mrs Bell has been extremely helpful and understanding in explaining to me the the law and the details of my divorce. She has truly navigated me to a very good settlement and provided me with sensible advise without being pushy. I would also like to mentioned that she was always promptly available to answer all my questions and very receptive to my input. It has been real pleasure working with Mrs bell and I strongly recommend her

Realistic and Effective

I contracted Valerie in order to obtain a divorce. She made the process much smoother and efficient than I had expected. Her honest demeanor and setting of realistic expectations made this difficult decision relatively easy. I felt as though I had a partner I could rely on and found her to be compass...ionate to my situation and thorough in her execution. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal council!

Recommendation

A divorce is a vulnerable time in life it's important to have someone guiding you though the legal process that is both trustworthy and knowledgeable. Valerie was excellent at representing my interest while being frank and honest about my options. Even when it came to billing she was respectful of ...my financial commitment and billed just for the time she spent on my case. And although I wouldn't want another reason in my life to work through a divorce; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Valerie Bell.

clear and effective

My separation was a shock: I needed a lawyer who wasn't cold and commanding but clear, logical and effective. Ms. Bell guided me through the emotional trauma to the way out. Commonsensical she didn't escalate things but sidestepped the power-plays. Yet she also used the force of the law to answer ...one very dynamic situation. I am grateful to her because I am on the other side now and I feel whole.
