My focus at Van Valkenburg Law Office is on family law, and that entails working with families on custody matters, divorce matters, spousal maintenance, complex family property matters. I’ve learned to be very compassionate – I’ve haven’t learned that; I think that’s part of who I am. But I also have a lot of empathy. I learned that it’s important to communicate. I make sure that you feel that you’ve been heard, that you know where we’re going, that you know what’s happened. If we get a court order, I let you know right away.
