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 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.

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

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.
