Exceptional legal representation and expertise
“If you're looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, Valerie Hedlund is the one to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Compassionate and caring approach
“Throughout my case, she was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely sweet and caring. She truly believed in me, and because of her dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed.”

Successful case outcomes
“Derek Ritchie and his team were able to unite me with my 4-month-old daughter in only one court hearing.”
5
Family-oriented environment
“Mr. Ritchie never rushed my girls and would make jokes and laugh at their jokes. This was important to me that was another example of them being a family environment.”
Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness
“I was told in a whole year they could not find my daughters father to serve him with papers but it too”
2
Disorganization and poor case management
“Mr. Derek Ritchie's failure to coordinate crucial appointments, such as meetings with me regarding court hearing mediations trials. Never use evidence in court resulted in additional delays and expenses I received invoices stating I had paid other seniors attorney.”
3
Overcharging and hidden fees
“When I received a copy of my file he had only file one motion and respond to letter from the other parties. Mr. Derek Ritchie's disorganization and apparent bias towards me never returned my phone calls nor emails. When I email Mr. Derek Ritchie's asking him to file a motion to mofity the original order. I never heard from him there were long wait times for the paralegal to contact you.”
4
Lack of client-focused approach
“He stated he knew the Judge in courtroom 307 also that his neighbor was best friend with the Judge in 307 and would have my grandson back in my home in 6 months. If not we would do a press conference! Which never happened”
5
Unprofessional and rude staff
“The paralegal I spoke with was not helpful whatsoever, did not listen to my concerns and did not provide sound advice. I wound up having to find another lawyer to assist me.”
