The Law Office of Ian Van Leer, P.C. 1300 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612

"Ian was a very honest and straightforward attorney. He was compassionate and understanding of my families situation. Highly recommend his services."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Ian both professionally and personally and cannot recommend him enough. Professionally, I worked for a criminal defense law firm and referred a lot of our client to Ian when they needed help with civil matters; thus we shared a lot of clients. All of our mutual clients had positive feedback about Ian and his work. Through my communication with him, I easily noticed that he is professional, efficient, and cares for his clients. Personally, I had a Power of Attorney matter regarding my grandma that my family needed help with. I scheduled a consultation with Ian; scheduling was an easy process as he responds quickly via email. The consultation was great. He took the time to listen to our situation and discuss our options with us in plain English. He offered several solutions for our situation including free options we could do ourself, and options that included hiring his firm. He was not a used car salesmen and didn’t make us feel that hiring him was our only option. He is very easy to communicate with and I recommend him to anyone looking for a family lawyer."

"Ian was phenomenal during my divorce proceedings. He was recommended to me by a friend who had also used him. When I came to Ian the first time, I was so overwhelmed and heartbroken over the end of an 18-year marriage, that it was hard for me to think about all the considerations and steps in a divorce. Ian is incredibly knowledgeable but more importantly was able to provide all the details of the process in a way I could easily digest. He was very understanding and patient, allowing me to move through the process at my pace. From the very beginning, he inspired confidence in me and I felt I was in great hands and didn’t have to worry about making a mistake or settling for something I wasn’t comfortable with. I felt at ease and taken care of, in a time of high uncertainty and anxiety. He was also very skilled at dealing with my ex and making sure we were all in the same page, which made the process run much smoother than I anticipated. I was able to get an amazing deal and I will always be grateful for all his hard work on this. I would highly recommend him and I’m happy to provide more details if you are looking for a great lawyer at reasonable rates."

"I've been a lawyer for 5 years and I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of lawyers in my life. Let me just start by saying that Ian is an incredible lawyer. It was really difficult to find a family law lawyer for my mother because I couldn't find someone that I could truly trust. However, since the day that I met Ian, I've been impressed by his character, diligence and integrity, traits that are really difficult to find in an attorney. If you are in the Bay Area and you're looking for a family law attorney, you need to contact Ian ASAP. I highly recommend him for your family law matter. You owe it to yourself and your loved one. Get it done right the first time and you'll never regret it."

"Ian was incredibly helpful to my partners and I when we started our business. He was able to give us all the information we needed to properly write out an operating agreement, advice us on important issues, and set us up right from the very beginning. He told us what permits we needed, how to obtain them in the right way, how much they cost and how to dodge lines in city hall/over pay for certain permits, and was able to do a lot of it for us (but gave the option for us to do it ourselves if we wanted). I highly recommend Ian!"
