What are you looking for in an attorney? If you have never faced a serious family law problem before now, you may not be able to tell the difference when confronted by thousands of websites, Yellow Pages ads and broadcast commercials. But there is a difference, and I’d like to introduce myself.
I am attorney Jane Van Valkenburg, in Edina, Minnesota. I have been practicing law for more than 36 years. I started out practicing in general litigation but over the last 36 years, I have dedicated my career to helping families in transition in Edina, the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.
While I will put my experience and credentials up against any lawyer’s in Edina, and the Twin Cities, I hope you will look beyond the law degree hanging on the wall. You will be placing your family’s future into the hands of someone you may not know.
Van Valkenburg Law, Trusted Minnesota Family Attorney

However, a no-fault divorce is still a complicated matter that requires the expertise of an experienced Hennepin County divorce attorney.
