Valerie Anne Bell

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.

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.

I have been working with Ms. Bell for more than a year now on a major parenting plan and child support modification regarding my teenage child and she is great to work with. It has been a very stressful court case made more difficult due to a complicated and difficult relationship with my ex-husband.... Ms. Bell has made this very stressful process easier on every level. She has kept me completely informed, is easy to reach and has helped me to understand what all the legal speak means that a person encounters during the court process. If she has been out of the office or unavailable her legal assistant, Ms. Wong, has been equally helpful and supportive. Ms. Bell has helped me to understand what to expect during this process and how to set expectations. Her advice has been realistic and she has been easy and enjoyable to work with. Her knowledge of family court has been invaluable and helped me to have an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Ms. Bell if you are needing help with your divorce, parenting plan or child support case.

I have actually already referred Valerie Bell to SEVERAL friends!!! I was referred to her from another attorney who was a friend and wanted the best possible legal support and advice for me during my divorce... Wow, did I get it!! Valerie is calm, wise, insightful and thougthful. She gave excell...ent and practical advice throughout the process and made what is possibly the most stressful event in one's life a million times better. She never provoked things to get worse; instead she gave me insight to make decisions that have served me (and more importantly, my child) for the long run. I recommend her without reservation. I recently referred her to one of my dearest friends and watched Valerie make everything all right for her as well. The legal process was as short as it could be and the outcome was really the best it could be. I cannot think of a better teammate during the horrible process of any family law issue. I trust Valerie Bell more than I can ever articulate.

I first consulted Valerie on the advice of a friend when I was considering a divorce after a 30+ year marriage.. She has proven to be a knowledgeable, patient, tireless, yet practical advocate during the whole process, and I could not recommend her more highly. Since I was in a long term marriag...e, and my ex-wife (in my opinion) was not very rational, it made a complex case even more complex and more stressful. Valerie was great about providing patient reassurance and what proved to be the right guidance at every step in the process. She was also VERY responsive, much more responsive than other attorneys I have worked with through the years on other matters. Recently, when speaking with Valerie's assistant, Melisa, I asked her if there was some way I could provide a letter of reference, and she pointed me to this site. This is an important decision, and I am really thankful that I had the good fortune of being referred to Valerie.
