Client Reviews
Gina S. March 6, 2023
Valued lawyer Hiring an attorney is a daunting task. I was referred to Van Wyhe Law Firm & Mediation Center by a friend. I cant thank these ladies enough for the gentle but firm guidance in going through my divorce process. It's an emotional process and they were the voice of reason I needed to hear when making these difficult decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend Miranda and Amanda.

Divorce and Custody D word, not something anyone wants to think about. Going into this i was lost, confused, unsure. Finding Amanda and Miranda made all that go away. I was in the best hands, a knowledgeable, quick responding and compassionate. I made the right choice when hiring Amanda to help me, she was able to get me what mattered the most.
