Communication

Scores 0–100 derived from FMAL's analysis of client reviews. 70+ = strong signal. These are algorithmic estimates, not verified statements of fact.

On communicationI especially want to thank Eric and Christina for their professionalism and transparency at all times. They kept me informed about every development in my case.
On fighting for clientsI hired VanDerGinst Law after a hit and run auto accident. All the other law firms I reached out to did not believe in me and would not take on my case. VanDerGinst Law believed in me and took on my insurance company that denied my medical coverage.
On client focusAttorney Eric Bodo and Paralegal Sondra Kuehn were absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, they were quick to communicate, always keeping me updated and made me feel like I was in great hands.
