Meet Our Team

Paul Van Der Walde was referred to me by a family friend. I was getting overwhelmed in my search for a personal injury attorney as there are so many. I am incredibly grateful for the work that Mr. Van Der Walde did on my case. I never felt intimidated by the legal jargon and instead felt like family. He has great knowledge and understanding of the law. We would never have gotten the results we did without a great law firm! My case was settled outside of court. Julia, Evangelina, Shawn, and Paul Van Der Walde are a great team! It is the best decision I ever made. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
