My previous attorney and I were being destroyed by my Ex and her attorney. I luckily found Mr. Van Der Jagt and after the initial consultation I decided to replace my exiting legal counsel with Mr. Van Der Jagt. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He took me as a client when I had pending domestic violence charges and potential punitive contempt of court charges. After receiving his help I ended up with a final judgment where I was awarded 100% decision making and parenting time of my minor children. In addition, I was not required to pay a dime of long term maintenance and I had no contempt or domestic violence conviction. My previous attorney believed that if we were lucky we would end up splitting time and decision making and I’d have a least a decade of maintenance payments to my Ex, not to mention the other charges that I might have been found guilty of. The good results I ultimately achieved were due to Mr. Van Der Jagt’s knowledge of the law, his strategy and his courage to aggressively confront all opposition. He flat took care of business and took care of me and my children. He first reacted to urgent legal threats and then dug deep to understand the individuals in the case. He then crafted his strategy based on the knowledge he had gained. He nailed it. He was actually able to change the entire focus of the case. This change proved to be the strategic advantage that we needed to re-frame the case in the judges mind. He really cared about what was best for the children and advised me on the correct decisions and actions to take regarding the children. He was tough with the opposing counsel yet gentile with the children. It seems as if he pulled me from the fire that was going to destroy my children and my life. And now my life is peaceful and my relationship with my children is healthy and completely intact. I’m extremely grateful to Mr. Van Der Jagt. To top it off, he was really fair and reasonable with his billing time and rate. He could have easily charged more. He is actually a modern day hero that showed up quickly with his legal guns blazing and rescued a family that was perishing. KMO

When dealing with something as important as child custody issues, Culver is beyond compare. I had an emergency custody situation arise. In less than one week of becoming involved, Culver prepared our case, filed for an emergency hearing and the issue was resolved 100% in our favor. That simple! However, this case was anything but simple. Culver was able to cut through the lies and manipulation and bring to light the truth. I can not thank him enough for the his genuine concern and expertise in securing what is in the best interest of my family.

I went through a divorce. Culver was knowledgable, understanding and fought for my protection and future all the way. He was also excellent at tax matters that came in very handy after the divorce. I highly recommend Culver and his team.

Hats off to Culver W. Van Der Jagt and his team of caring lawyers. Culver was outstanding in every way throughout my difficult divorce process. He is knowledgeable,understanding, in touch, and efficient. It was the best decision to retain Culver and his firm right from the start. He is easy to get ahold of and responds quickly with the right answers. This was a complicated case and Culver was able to save us money by taking care of urgent issues quickly and honestly. I wholeheartedly recommend Culver and his team competent lawyers to handle any legal issues in an efficient caring competent manner. I sincerely Thank Culver and his team for a job well done.

Culver is a dedicated, responsive, knowledge, communicative lawyer. He was able to quickly and cheaply resolve a family issue for me and get the best possible outcome. Culver met with me, understood the case fully, prepared and executed a very effective strategy. He literally had the opposing party turned around in circle in a matter of days. He ensured I was fully informed of everything, at every single step. I also found his billing to be more than fair.

I hired Culver for a divorce, not knowing how complicated and horrific my case would turn out to be. With Culver's support and guidance, I am now safely away from my ex (and have a wonderful Permanent Protection Order against my ex) and am happily divorced. Culver really understands Domestic Violence and gave me great recommendations for getting the help that I needed. I cannot imagine another attorney giving as much time or dedication to my case.

Culver cares about his client. He will do everything in his power to fight for justice. As far as attorneys are concerned, he understands domestic violence. If you are ready to get out of an abusive marriage, Culver will help you regain what you have lost.

I went to Culver Van Der Jagt, having no idea as to what I was doing. My husband was divorcing me and I had never been through anything like this. I met with Culver and he took my case and helped me by directing me down the right path for my future benefit. He was able to look at the whole picture when I could see just a small part of it. He listened to me and was caring. I felt that he had the best interests in mind for both me and my family. He is very smart and observant of people and uses what he sees to help people. He is exactly what you are looking for when seeking an attorney. He will look out for you! He's also very mindful of not wasting your money. He is fair when it comes to your fees. You can question whatever you don't understand and he will explain things to you in a respectful way. I would recommend him to anyone needing a divorce.

I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to do it retain Culver! I was very confused about the process and an emotional wreck my world had been turned upside down. I had met with a few lawyers around town and with most of them I felt like I was just a number on their list with their fancy offices, fancy art, and over priced fees. Culver took a genuine interest in my case and looked out for my best interests. He is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and straight up. He can be very sensitive when necessary but isn't afraid of breaking out the hammer if necessary. I never felt overcharged on the fees and his hourly rate was much better than the bigger firms.

As a person who had no idea what to expect with the divorce process, I felt very lost but Culver was great! He was attentive to my situation and put me at ease throughout the entire process. I really believe he genuinely cares about each of his clients and really has their best interests at heart. (Unfortunately that can't be said of other lawyers) He made sure that the entire process was as fast and painless as possible. He was very responsive to my questions and concerns and never made me feel like I was wasting his time! He is very knowledgeable and ready to stand up for what is right. Culver always kept me informed about what needed to be done and kept me up-to-date about things that I needed to know. I'm telling you, this is an attorney you don't come across often. You don't hear many people say that an attorney is trustworthy but Culver is! If you pass up the opportunity to choose Culver VanDerJagt as your attorney, you're crazy! This man is amazing and will fight for you.
