Great advice

Donald VanStry provided informed, timely, and candid legal advice that allowed me to make the most of my legal predicament. I was party to a very punitive agreement that Don was able to find necessary maneuver space to challenge. While this is not yet fully resolved, I know the legal fees have paid... for themselves as a result of Don's diligence.

Great Attorney

The first thing he told me is that divorce is one of the worst things a person can go through, but that he would make it go as smoothly and as drama free as possible. I appreciated that because I met with several attorneys who basically acted like robots telling me what I had to do and what was goin...g to happen before they even knew the facts in my case! Don listens and communicates with me. He was not the cheapest retainer, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a skilled attorney who would work with me and he did everything he said he would do. I was amazed at how he negotiated with the other attorney. I was amazed at how good he was at responding to crazy motions from my husband's attorney. He kept me in line with deadlines and asked for extensions when I needed more time. Yes it was terrible, but he helped me get what I deserved and kept me sane in the process, which I can't say enough about. The firm he works for is highly professional. They showed me exactly what the bill was every month and exactly what work was done on my case. It's amazing how much legal work goes into a divorce! It was hard to pay the bill, but he got the judge to have my husband pay some of the bill and more importantly protected my rights and my assets. Thank you so much for being my attorney and for everything you did.
