Donald Philip VanStry

Me and my husband both hired Mr Vanstry after having some very difficult issues with social services. Accusations were made that weren't true and we were having difficulties figuring out the best way to prove them wrong. Mr. VanStry was a huge help to change all that. When your families peace is at r...isk he is the best person I know to help. First things first he is a listener. He pays attention to fine detail and exhibits genuine concern for you and your familys situation. He's attentive and goes above and beyond to answer calls at all reasonable hours. I never felt rushed or pressured like I did with other attorneys I always felt very reassured. His retainer is on the higher side but worth every penny. When my retainer went low he gave polite notice and didn't hound me which really shows that while money is important it is not his first priority. I would recommend Mr. VanStry to anyone without hesitation. He is a fantastic attorney and an over all great person with respectable character. We currently still have him on retainer and receive nothing but good outcomes from him.

I hired Don to represent me in my divorce. He is knowledgeable, attentive to details, and diligent. He understands NY state divorce law well, and is able to provide appropriate advice and counsel. He is understanding of the needs that relate to children and families, and the impact that divorce has ...on everyone involved. His experience as it relates to these areas provides him with the background to provide solid advice. He is willing to take the time to understand your specific needs and help ease all the emotional turmoil that inevitably comes with the divorce process. He was readily available, even after hours or on weekends, to discuss things as they came up. He is a straight-talker and had a friendly and calming demeanor when dealing with me, but was also assertive and commanding when needed with the opposing lawyer. I would highly recommend Don without reservations to anyone looking for a good divorce lawyer.

If you want a guy who’s knowledgeable and is even tempered, who knows the family law business and gets results, hire Mr. Vanstry! He assisted me with an issue where my ex wife was trying to clean me out. I would have had nothing. The guy has integrity and he tells you how it is. He is a former soldie...r as I am so I felt like I could trust him. My former lawyer had no integrity telling me he was a Marine and I know he wasn’t. And did nothing for me but laid down and took my money. Mr. Vanstry is smart and he will use the LAW to get results not just trying to bully the judge into making a decision. Put your trust in him. He won’t let you down.

As a parent of a blended family, Mr. Van Stry handled our situation with absolute professionalism and class. Mr. Van Stry came highly recommended, and after numerous consultations and dead end roads with other family court attorneys we put our faith in Don. We approached him with probably one of the... more difficult and abstract cases a family court attorney could handle. He never made any promises and was completely transparent with us. There were times he gave us good news and times he gave us bad, but always honesty. If you have ever been through a family court proceeding you could take appreciation for council that is comforting and able to handle their emotions, while at the same time acting as a Gladiator in a Bow Tie when they are in a court room. It was during the harder times when we were at our breaking point and felt there was no hope for our adoption that we appreciated his council. Even when we were strained Don never lost his composure and was eventually able to help us reach our end goal of adoption. My family will always be appreciative of the hard work and diligence put forth in the way he handled our case. Bryan

Donald Vanstry has handled a couple hard cases involving my children for me. He was persistent, and thorough. He is not afraid to go to trial if needed and I feel I would be well prepared if we needed to go to trial. He really works hard for you, is highly intelligent and great at what he does, he is... definitely worth every penny. I can sleep a little better at night knowing Don is on my team and fighting for me and my family!
