Van Valer Law Firm, LLP

My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Tom Vander Luitgaren for over twenty years, and we both would share that he is the gold standard when it comes to legal counsel. He always puts our interests first, explains our options with transparency, and doesn't push unnecessary services. When I launched my two businesses, Tom was there from day one. He guided me through entity formation, operating agreements, contracts, and compliance issues with a level of foresight that I'm sure saved me countless headaches (and dollars) down the road. As both companies continue to grow, he remains my go-to advisor, stepping in whenever a new challenge comes along. The Van Valer Law firm has been indispensable in our real estate ventures. Tom reviews every lease, purchase agreement, and due-diligence document with great care. When we need representation at closings, he is there, ensuring every detail is handled correctly. On the personal side, Tom drafted and regularly updates our will, trusts, and full estate plan. He takes the time to understand our changing goals and ideas and structures everything to minimize taxes while protecting our legacy. In an industry where trust is everything, Van Valer Law Firm has earned ours. We find the whole firm professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. Tom is more than our attorney; he's a trusted friend and partner for life. We recommend him without reservation to anyone who values excellence and integrity.

The Van Valer Law Firm worked with me to prepare my trust. Tom Vander Luitgaren and Jessica were patient with me and knowledgeable in all facets of the process. Additionally, the cost seemed reasonable given the complexity of the trust. I highly recommend this firm for your legal needs!

We've worked with the firm for several years now regarding estate planning needs and Tom and the team are knowledgeable and care for their clients.

My husband and I went to Van Valer Law Firm to get a Will. We had put it off for so long because of fear and anxiety. Well they made the process so easy and not challenging as we had expected. They led us through every step of the process in a very methodical way. We totally understood all aspects because of their outstanding communication skills and their expert knowledge of the law. We would strongly recommend Van Valer Law Firm for any lawyer need that someone may have.

My husband and I worked with Mark Hatfield after we had issues with our new home build and our builder wouldn't properly rectify our issues. We went all the way through arbitration and the outcome was favorable for us. We would never have recovered even 30% of the arbitration judgement had we just tried to settle the matter through negotiations with the builder. Mark was very thorough with keen attention to the myriad of details surrounding each of the issues we had. His briefs were extremely well written artfully and succinctly capturing the key points of our position. He had prepared us very thoroughly for the actual arbitration testimony which led to us getting the positive outcome that we got. The billing process was very fair. Highly recommend Mark and the Van Valer Law Firm.
