Howard made several claims that never came true. He told me the opposing party was violating the law and that we had a case to get everything I was asking for. The judge corrected Howard on the law and everything my case was built on fell apart because of him. The opposing party was supposed to be paying the bill. It sounded too good to be true. What Howard didn't tell me is he would continue to try and charge me interest despite my ex supposed to be paying my legal fees. Contracts weren't explained properly, 'alternative truths'were given. I was told my retainer would handle everything, and the final bill was 4x higher. Their family planned a vacation, and billed me almost $1,000 for their time to reschedule my hearing around their vacation.I've seen some terrible business practices before but this is disgusting. These people are the used car salesmen of legal world. There's better options out there, that won't lie to you, and rip you off.

Great experience! Justin answered my legal question in under 24 hrs, brought clarity to my situation, and laid out the appropriate action steps. Thank you!

Mary Helmic

By representing us in a car accident case, we received the best possible outcome. Both Howard and son Justin provided us with top-notch service. We highly recommend this law firm! Mary Helmic & Wayne Pierce

Bonney Harper

I am so happy with this law firm. So easy to talk to and he explained everything in detail. I couldn't be happier.

Jason Schroeder

My limited experience up to this point with lawyers has been absolutely horrible. Arrogant, belittling, ignorant, and useless.Howard changed all that. He listened to what I actually wanted, gave me honest advice and seemed very knowledgeable. Very grateful for his help and he will be my lawyer for anything I need moving forward. Thank you so much.

I am a semi truck driver. I was issued an impeding traffic citation in Grand Rapids area. Called the firm to get advice on whether there is any point of fighting the ticket. They were very professional about it. They explained to me that it is a non-point ticket and that I was better off paying the fine and not waste my money on an attorney help.

Manuel Garza

If you need a GOOD lawyer thatll work with you and really work towards what you want go see Howard. Howard and his son Justin helped me when I thought I had no options. He helped me get everything in line and got me exactly what I was looking for in court. Dont go to someone your unsure of.

HOWARD WAS SO AWESOME WITH ME. I will never forget how much he cares. Not just a job put his passion.

Joshua Mulder

My experience with Howard was very helpful. He gave me some basic information because the more I have now, the easier it will be if I need further services from the Law Office. Thank you!

Dar Groendal

Howard Van Den Heuvel legal advice was concise, informative, and very helpful. I would recommend Howard and his firm for any of your legal needs.

Sat down for a consolation today with Justin. He was very welcoming. I had a great experience. Justin was very honest with me and listen to everything I had to say. He gave me a lot of valuable information on how to handle certain issues. Justin gladly gave me more then enough time for a consolation and did not push his services on me.

Alex Waalkes

Howard did a fantastic job getting me the best possible outcome in my DUI case. Kept me updated throughout the case and truly cared about the outcome of the case! Id recommend this law firm without reservation.

Alex Samayoa

Great law office, they answered my questions, and they were very clear on costs and made sure I wanted to proceed before charging me anything. Lots of experience!

sean hoodhood

Spoke with Justin in regards to a white collar case. He gave me solid legal advice and I would recommend them to anyone. I was most impressed by how they didn't bill me for going over my slotted time limit. Very professionally courteous!

Fatiha Khadija

Justin was a very patient attorney and helped me with my case quickly.He gave me what I expected.

Sonya Foster

I was not happy with the service provided by Justin at all. He sent Howard to our hearing and he knew nothing about our case. This seemed like a case that he should have one hands down but because they were not prepared we lost the case. Very disappointed!

Eric horan

Hes a crook! He didnt solve one of my problems. I ended up solving all my problems on the phone and through the mail from California. Every time Im in Michigan I forget to go pay him a visit. I like to look in the eyes of any man that rips me off.

Peg Velt

This firm proved to be very helpful and friendly. Justin gave advice concerning Grandparents visitation and real estate. Justin was very courteous, friendly and professional.

Chad Chen

I had a brief consultation with Howard. While I did not retain his services, and thus cannot state his qualifications as a trial lawyer, I can state that he is a thorough, up front and honest individual. We discussed my situation and came to the conclusion that there was a very unlikely chance that the outcome would be in my favor and that retaining his services would simply be throwing good money after bad. Don't get me wrong, he was willing to take on the case, but also stated that it might not be the most effective use of my funds.He's realistic and straightforward, and I would most certainly consider him for future legal services.

Amazing Attorneys I would look no further, I am with them all the way.From the original consult to the time in office to the time in court. They continued to exceed my expectations. When i first came to them I was in a whirlwind of chaos almost immediately was put at peace by the consult alone. Were the peace continued throughout the process. I'm finding it hard to put into words how great from start to finish my business with them has been. I will highly recommend them to everyone I meet. they are an A+++ If your reading this and you need an Attorney take my word for it THESE ARE YOUR GUYS. They set a standard for me that I don't believe I could find anywhere else I'm finally at peace.

Ani Marcheva

I am extremely happy with his service, very helpful and friendly! Huge thanks from Chicago!!! :-)

Crystal Freville

Justin is a good sent recommendation above 5 stars.

Mario B

Great communication, thanks! I would use them again.

Eric Cross

Excellent Law Office to work with. They are friendly, knowledgeable and answer questions in full so you can understand what is going on. I would highly recommend reaching out for any legal needs you have.

Matt Rusin

Im an out of state trucker who needed someone to represent me for a traffic violation. Howard and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful and I would definitely recommend!

cook easy

thanks for your time and the informations, I appreciate you

John S

Howard and his associates represented us in a child custody case. He represented us professionally and aggressively. Howard takes the time to get to know his clients and his knowledge of custody laws and the court system were a huge advantage for us. Well worth the reasonable rates he charges. We could not be more pleased with his services. Thank you, Howard.

Chris Biegun

Howard had a very reasonable rate and he was a quality lawyer. He dedicated a lot of time to my case. He was more aggressive than my past attorney. He answered my questions promptly. I would have anyone in need of any legal help visit Howard. He will work beyond what you expect at a rate you will be surprised by. He really cares.

Catherine Tubergen

We obtain the service of Van Den Heuvel Law Office, or at least tried to. Nothing was done after nearly a year. Would not recommend this lawyer to ANYONE. During one of our meetings Van Den Heuvel SR blatantly told my father and I that he had 'bigger and more important clients to tend to'.... he is a good example of what is wrong with lawyers, they are suppose to support you and defend you in times of needs and he was too worried about what HIS profit would be. I wish I could have clicked on 0 stars, for it wouldn't let me. Also wish we wouldn't have hired him and wasted money.

I had a very poor experience with Justin. The original price I was told I would have to pay practically doubled. I asked him multiple times not to send letters to my house. He continued to send them then charged me for it.

Senida Baric

All of our expectations were met and beyond, you guys are the best.

Jayn Harkema

Very disappointed. NO WORK was ever attempted for my case in a year and a half, no communication, nothing. Granted, it wasn't a very important case as compared to some, but it certainly was important to me!

Jarin Arney

Spoke and within a short time had my issues relayed to the correct place and pointed me in the right direction.

Michael Sower

Horrible attorney I would not recommend him for anything he will take your money and do nothing one word LAZY all the lawyer Jokes you hear he is the definition. He didn't even leave the office and I was beat by someone with a welfare attorney when he was paid $4000 up front. His receptionist wrote the first and only motion and that was completely wrong, I would have done better without him this was a easy case I just wanted to make sure I won. But somehow I lost and the woman has given a child for adoption cause she couldn't handle a child had 3 child abuse cases against her burnt a baby with a cigarette just horrific things and she was awarded what she wanted 50/50. Its not because he is for men/father rights because I am a man and he did the same for me screwed now paying a lawyer bill and my daughter is coming home with cuts scrapes and bruises diaper rash and loses 4 lbs after 48 hours being with her so called mother. Please find a different attorney PLEASE DON'T do this to yourself

James Gleason

I would not recommend This law firm to anyone. You are better off representing yourself. Howard Van den Heuvel miss represents himself. First of all he is an advocate for father's rights so for all of you mothers who are looking for help, look else where. When my wife hired him to do some work for her I ended up doing most of the research work for him in order to get our case moved to our state because he doesn't even know the case law for the state of Michigan. worthless!!!! He wouldn't go after her ex when he was ordered to pay her legal fees. Her ex owed her back support, she had a lien on the back support, he recieved his lump sum and spent it and she never got a dime and Howard never did a thing about it, even though he violated the liens. He refused to take it to court!!! And then he is trying to double bill us using some line that he changed his accounting system and doesn't have the old system so we can't see the copies from all of the old filing system he used to have. Gee Howard what would you show the IRS if they come to audit you? Hmmmm that's an idea!!!!! ONE LAZY ATTORNEY RIGHT HERE FOLKS!!!!

Carlo Dennison

Howard and Justin were passionate in providing me with great service and results which says a lot about them.

Terry Stapler

Professional team got my ticket reduced to a non point ticket without even going to the court hearing. Which is great as a CDL driver.

Jovan Arviso

Great help with my questions quick and easy response would consider hiring as an attorney.

Jihen Kasraoui

mohamed abid , very satisfied thank u

Elizabeth Baines

I had the divorce from hell. My husband took all of my stuff and locked me out of the house when I was at work. Then the judge would not let me back in to get my stuff or see my children. Howard hammered those SOB's and I even got joint legal and physical of our children.Howard was a good friend though all of this and an aggressive fighter for me. I don't know what I would have done without him.

Bart Szawarski

During my initial consultation Howard answered all my questions and offered helpful pointers. I did not require his services at that time but, if I ever do, he's an attorney I will be working with.

Kyahsondra Brumm

Really easy to talk to an gives all the information u need.

Brian Marshall

Very helpful in creating my personal will, would recommend to anyone needing law advice.

mike abort

I hired the Van Den Heuvel law firm to represent. Me in a theft case, the lawyers Justin & Howard were attentive, able to articulate the situation Both with the evidence and storyline, were easy to get in touch with and responded quickly, I would use them again and recommend others to do the same.

Kevin Miller

Howard was the worst attorney i have ever used. He billed for services before they were even preformed. Had to fire him and hire another attorney because he was just money hungry .

Josiah O'Brien

Very helpful.
