I worked with Colin for over 4 years while I navigated a nasty divorce, and then later a petition for sole custody of my kids. It was a very stressful time, but I am so grateful I had Colin and Amelia in my corner. Colin took the time to understand my situation before laying out what my options were. There was no pressure to make one decision or another, just clearly explained options, and when I asked for it, good advice. When there were "bumps in the road" along the way I could always count on being able to reach Colin or Amelia. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!

We had a good experience with them. They helped us with our case, the process was smooth and they are very professional.

Hi everyone. I highly recommend to submit your Case to Van Cleaf & McCormack LawFirm LLP. They completed and sucessfully dismissed my brother's two serious traffic tickets. I found a bit trick to found the attorneys in Des Moines IA. Most of the attorneys simply refused to take care of those tickets. but Mr Jacob Van helped and supported us. that was tremendously helpful for us. We can't thank you for Dear Mr. Jacob Van and his law firm assistants and all of them.

Great Experience! I’m glad I had them defending my case ! Will use them should I ever need to get an attorney in that jurisdiction.

Gosh, where do I start? Jacob Van Cleaf, he is the most honest man I have ever met, he does not care if you are his client or the opposing team, if he thinks you are wrong he will tell you. He was exactly what I needed when I hired him the first time for my divorce in 2019. He did it for so cheap I was amazed and he did it for payments! There are not many attorneys around that do payments, he is simply amazing. I then had to hire him for a custody case and considering what that case entailed it was pretty darn cheap and once again he did me justice and when he thought I was wrong he put me in my place (just what I needed, too), this man helped me and the other team grow up and mature and now we have one of the healthiest co-parenting relationships possible. We even go out of town together and rent an Airbnb together and play games as a family and they have unofficially adopted my other child as their own. This law firm is what any person going through a custody battle needs. Jacob has also represented me in two domestic violence cases one of which he has been accused of lying to a judge and tampering with evidence which he did not this person consented to the protected order because he knew he was guilty of what I was accusing him of. Jacob would never do what this individual is accusing him of. And his office manager Amelia is great. She will answer any question you have that she can! I absolutely love these people!

My daughter has used Jacob Van Cleaf four times now. Once for a divorce, once for a custody battle, and twice for domestic violence cases involving restraining orders. This man has ALWAYS done my daughter justice! He has ALWAYS worked with her financially! And his prices are very reasonable! He has never lied to a judge and he is very honest! He has even told my daughter when she was wrong and put her in her place a day SHE was HIS client! If you want a brutally honest attorney go to Jacob Van Cleaf. I will ALWAYS recommend him to ANYONE who needs a family attorney. 10/10! Love Jacob!!!!

Amelia was very respectful, professional, with such a great friendly voice. She needs a raise.

Hidden gem ahead.. Outstanding. Amelia is one of the most involved and passionate office managers I've ever experienced and goes above and beyond for your individual needs. Colin is straightforward, realistic, and handled my case and himself exceptionally well and I couldn't be more impressed with their flexibility on payment plans. Professional, high quality representation that's good enough to keep on retainer. Highly recommend.

Collin did amazing with my case. I was extremely nervous. He was kind, reassuring, and presented a respectful representation. Highly recommended.

Collin and Jacob have always taken care of us very well no matter what our need for them was.
