John Jacob van Velthuyzen

John Velthuyzen was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. I couldn't have found a better lawyer! Since my divorce in 2016 a few of my friends have needed a divorce lawyer. I recommend him every time! When John took over my case he began fixing things that my 1st lawyer did differe...ntly. John was prompt and communicative. He was very calm, organized and prepared all the time. My ex did a lot of things to make me work extra hard in discovery and in filing frivolous motions. John was a fighter and responded to each of my ex's motions and succeeded in getting my ex to have to pay for many of those frivolous motions and court costs. My divorce ended up in trial. John was beyond excellent in trial! He was more than prepared for the games my ex played. I was so absolutely impressed and feel so blessed that I ended up with John to represent my case. I don't know if another lawyer could have done better. John knew exactly how trial would go and was able to respond to every game my ex tried to play. My ex's lawyer was even impressed and called him a "Cadillac lawyer." So you know he was fancy! The entire cost with 3 days of trial included was less than $35K. I ended up with the best results that I could have considering the situation I was in with my ex. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I will definitely call John and see if he will be able to handle my case. Not only was John an excellent lawyer, he is also a quality, caring person. He has stayed in touch with me over the years, and has offered to help with various things related to my divorce and child support. He remembers my child and me and asks how we are doing. Great lawyer, great person! I highly recommend him!
