This was my first time attempting to navigate the legal system like this, and I truly feel like I couldn’t have been in better hands. The entire time I felt like my best interest was being considered above all. Mr. Howard very eloquently described every step of the process and potential outcomes and could not have been more thorough in helping me understand the best options. He took my personal interests into consideration and agreed to work with me on this very unique case… He truly has a team of professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate people at his firm. He even went out of his way to share with me some advice on a personal level after the legal issues were fully discussed, and I couldn’t have left that firm feeling any more satisfied and relief that I decided to go there. 10 out of 10 point, I could not imagine a better attorney/ firm. Thank you again to Mr. Howard and everyone at Van Den Heuvel!!

We did a power of attorney for both my parents a few years back. Everything was explained and set up to both my parents wishes. Recently my father passed away, so we went back into the office to make sure everything was still ok and a will was good my parents had written up a long time ago. He took his time with both myself and my mother. Listened, explained and looked everything over. He made us reassured everything was good.

While Justin could not represent me because I was too far for him to travel, he was very responsive to my online inquiry. We missed each others phone calls for several days and he did not forget about me and was quite responsive. He took the time to actually listen to my case, give me a strategy, listen to my concerns and answer my questions (without charging me a fee). I wish I could have had him assist with my case, but he sent me well on my way and I am even more confident in my ability so seek a divorce and ensure my children are safe.

A close relative recently passed away without leaving any instructions or directions regarding his affairs. Because I do not live in the area I wanted to consult someone local in case I needed to retain a legal team. After leaving a message I got a very prompt return call. During that call it was well explained to me that, given the relative's particular circumstances, that it wouldn't be necessary to retain a legal team. I was given direction on what I should do to wrap things up and was invited to call again if I had further questions. While I ended up not needing to hire legal representation in the end, I certainly would consider and suggest this firm to anyone who asked me for a strong recommendation. Prompt, courteous, caring and most definitely knowledgeable / good at explaining things in easy to understand terms.
