Van Ness, Williamson LLP 960 Liberty Street Southeast, Salem, OR 97302

"Mr. Van Ness, is not my attorney, however right at this very moment he has over $60,000, that belongs to me and he refuses to answer when I calls, won't return calls from messages I've left and won't reply to emails! After reading the below reviews, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone simply based on how I'm being treated (as an non-client that he's just holding money up from) and I happen to know he's overpriced (I've seen the charges!)."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Van Ness and his staff for a family law issue. After being raked through the coals with Johnson and Taylor law office as my attorney, Jim was able to help me make things right! In my experience, this law firm is very reasonable on costs for the results that are given. I was always aware of what was going on and really feel like I had a strong showing of support for getting my needs met. I have recommended Jim to friends that have been in similar situations and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!"

"Completely and totally ineffective did not respond in a timely manner, was not professional was one-sided in his determination. Made promises that he did not follow through with absolutely out right lied about certain dates and did not respond to emails with specific questions a huge waste of money."

"Tired Mr. Vaness for my stepdaughter. Made lots of promises. New the judge but they decided it was not a conflict of interest… Never stood up for us in court. And the judge ordered us to send my grandson every other months to a different state. Even though he is on the spectrum. Got nothing for 28 grand. Talks a big talk but does not walk the walk ..,,,.."

"Jim is a very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful man. He knows the ins and outs of the Courtroom and is quite thorough. He has helped me through a number of legal issues now. Each with a favorable outcome. I would prefer to never enter a courtroom without him beside me."
