I had nothing but great experiences with this law firm. I worked closely with Deborah and Diane. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable when I had questions. They talked me through everything and didn't have an issue when I asked a million questions. Would go back again if needed. Thank you so much!!

I have never worked with more professional and caring group of people in my entire life. I came to them with a personal injury case and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was getting handled in a timely manner. They truly care about their clients and went above and beyond my expectations. Very friendly staff, this will forever be the office I call for any legal troubles.

My attorney Deborah Gordan at Van Siclen Stocks and Firkins helped me through what was a very stressful situation. She gave me straightforward advise and was patient with all my questions and concerns. Her staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgable as well. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Dexter, Kristie, and the entire team at VSSF were exceptional! When I initially reached out, I was in a challenging situation, having very little time to respond after being served. Dexter not only calmed my nerves but also provided invaluable advice and swiftly got me organized. This calming and supportive approach persisted throughout the entire process, with both Dexter and Kristie. Despite the strength of my emotions, Dexter consistently presented options and likely outcomes based on his professional expertise. I had to go against my instincts several times, and each time, the counsel I received from Dexter proved to be immensely beneficial. I must highlight Kristie's role as well. She made me feel heard during one of the toughest times in my life. I am genuinely pleased with the outcome of my case. I believe the relationship with my ex-wife is in a much better place compared to where it was just a year ago when this journey began. Dexter's guidance prevented me from making potential mistakes, resulting in my family being in good shape, a highly satisfactory parenting plan, and, most importantly, my 10-year-old son being in a stable, warm, and caring environment from both his mother and father. I wholeheartedly recommend this team.

John Stocks was a huge help for me. I have never had to use an attorney and he did a great job at letting me know how to proceed and what my options were. Thank you John!

Throughout the years I’ve ask John at least 10 or more legal questions a year and he helps me without hesitation. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. 5 out 5 for sure!

Ms Gordon did a great job guiding me through a very painful time in my life. She always demonstrated that she had my best interest in mind and fought for a fair settlement. Thank you, Deborah!

We had SEVERAL questions regarding an easement on a property we were in the process of buying. Days away from signing the closing documents and we started to feel like we might be making a bad financial decision. We spoke with Dexter and he was able to give us an abundance of information to not only help us better understand the easement, but next steps we should do before signing to make sure everything was good. He helped us determine what to look for, what was needed, and ultimately, helped us feel confident and comfortable with the sale. We can't say thank you to Dexter enough. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic to all our concerns and questions. Theresa & Jacob Norris

I feel as though my representation by Stephanie M. was inadequate. During the “zoom” mediation she had little to say, making insufficient impact. Her closing statement was weak, & she used no verbiage that she had used in the consult when agreeing with me. I was very disappointed then. Followed by complete frustration upon receiving a statement for an additional substantial UNEXPECTED amount. When I called with frustration, the receptionist offered to read an itemized bill that included a “follow up” email I was charged for. That follow up email was about a sentence long, where Stephanie admits she did not feel good about the mediation. We lost our plea. And the authorities responsible for the ruling waited until late in the final day they had to respond. I emailed her earlier in that day making a statement that we should have asked for a “by when”. She NEVER responded. Just a large bill ONE MONTH LATER. I paid the additional fee but I do not recommend using Stephanie’s services, I could have been just as effective or ineffective for that matter on my own.

The firm has an excellent reputation and we trust their advice. In difficult times, they’ve been ready and available to help us in sticky situations. Thank you John and Hillary, and team!
