Pros
1
Knowledgeable and experienced in family law and child custody cases
“I had hoped when I initially hired Ms. Vanhook that because she had been a former family court judge that she would know all of the ins, outs, loopholes, and best ways to sway judgements for her clients.”
2
Dedicated and fights hard for her clients
“Danya fought hard for me. The divorce process is tough, and not only is it emotionally difficult and physically draining. The actual legal process itself is simply unchartered territory for for me. My divorce was one of the most painful and grueling experience of my life, and Danya help me successfully navigate this nightmare!”
3
Cares about her clients and their families
“I felt as though Danya genuinely cared about me, and the fate of my children. She listen to my perspective, and my opinions, and incorporated that into her thinking for the case, if it was appropriate.”
4
Effective at achieving positive outcomes for her clients
“Danya delivered fast and furious. She did exactly what she promised the first time. She was very effective in hearing my points, assessing the situation and delivering under high stress and limited time.”
5
Knowledgeable about the legal system and well-connected
“I learned that she once was a judge herself - what I personally discovered is that when the case suddenly became about five different types of cases from child support to custody to divorce to criminal, to being a plaintiff in a criminal case as well as terrible DEPOSITIONS-immediately, she was on -the- ball and working with me in a type of war-room situation - I will say that the courts and everyone took me a little bit more serious, then graduated into way more serious when I had an attorney handling things.”
Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness with clients
“If you want updates or questions answered, you have to contact and contact and contact Ms. Vanhook before you get an answer, which is probably a half-truth answer at best.”
2
Failure to provide key information and guidance to clients
“She never, in her tenure on my case, let me know my son needed to be subpoenaed to appear, he's 12. She never truly gave me the information I asked for and rarely took it upon herself to contact me.”
3
Potentially not putting the client's best interests first
“I actually felt like she was partnering with my ex's attorney to keep continuing the case so I could not get custody of my son, and told her so.”
