Valerie rules

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.

Highly Recommend

I hired Valerie to help me through my divorce. She was a huge support and help through the divorce process as well as being available for anything I have needed after my divorce finalized. I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone going through a divorce.

A port in the storm of 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.

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!
