Law Office of Derek R. Van Gilder

For more than four decades I have been represented by Law Office of Derek R Van Gilder on minor to major legal cases. Their professional integrity straight forwardness and support & advice are unmatched. Every step of the legal process is clearly explained, ensuring the clients are informed. What impressed me most was their ability to balance high-level legal expertise with genuine empathy for my situation and cases which lasted many years. If you need an attorney who is both a powerhouse in the courtroom and a true professional, look no further."

Derek Van Gilder and his team have done an excellent job of representing us in a painful domestic and child custody matter. They listened to our needs and concerns and responded quickly. The attorneys and staff are prompt and very helpful in their communication with clients. The only reason I did not give them five stars is due to some inadequate preparation for one hearing that took place. All other court appearances and follow up were excellent. Would definitely recommend them.

I cannot say enough about Derek Van Gilder and his firm. Derek isn’t just a brilliant attorney — he’s a man of integrity who genuinely cares more about the children and their safety than the money or the fight itself. He walked beside us through every challenge with patience, wisdom, and strength. He never lost sight of what mattered most: protecting my kids and helping our family find peace and stability again. His professionalism, preparation, and calm confidence in court made all the difference. If you are looking for an attorney who will truly fight for what’s right, guide you with honesty, and keep your children’s well-being at the heart of everything — Derek Van Gilder is the one you want on your side. I am forever grateful for his care, dedication, and the outcome he helped us ach
