What recent reviews say
A firm with strong estate planning credentials when work flows smoothly, but recent reviews reveal serious communication lapses. One client paid a retainer but received only two phone calls and unsolicited draft documents before the attorney cancelled without discussion. Another was charged for a consultation without authorization and told they could not be helped.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Van Dyck Law, LLC
4.9(84)✓ Google-verified
Clients consistently report working with estate attorneys who take time to understand complex family situations and explain each document step by step, often with humor and humanity alongside expertise. Named attorneys like Amanjit Heir, Shikha Patel, and Stephen Singer guide families through wills, trusts, Medicaid planning, and powers of attorney; the firm's Life Care Resources Liaison and office staff handle scheduling and witness duties with warmth, and ongoing advice after signing is valued by those navigating later-life legal changes. Strong confidence in this firm stems from its elder-law focus, willingness to dig into nuanced scenarios before drafting, and a culture that treats estate planning not as a box to check but as a chance to give clients lasting peace of mind. Families report feeling informed and reassured even when handling sensitive or emotionally charged matters after a death or major life shift.
