In February 2025 I was driving after just dropping my eldest grandchild off at work. I was hit in my door by a turning vehicle at approximately 30 mph. Totalled my Envoy. Changed my life. Staples in my head, bruises from head to toe. Airbag abrasions on my arms. My eyeglasses saved my sight from the breaking glass. After being struck, my SUV was redirected and I slammed into a large light pole. The insurance of the woman who hit me tried to say it would be established 50/50 responsibility. Enter my phone call to Vanderginst Law. I was paired with Eric Bodo. Genuine empathy, straightforward, honest advice.He and several of the paraprofessionals worked dillegently to establish necessary facts and information.It took awhile to get the case in motion but they fought for me. Negotiations went back and forth for quite some time but in the end they reached a settlement that was fair and helpful for me. I would not hesitate to reach out to them again for assistance or to recommend them to others. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.
I am completely satisfied with attorney Eric Bodo, and his secretary Veronica Fuentes, Sandra Kuhen, were very kind. I am very grateful for their help and kindness. Veronica, thank you for helping me interpret and understand all my doubts. I 100% recommend them.
I had a case with the Van Der Ginst Law firm and I highly recommend them. They helped me resolve my case, which involved a car accident, and the secretary, Veronica Fuentes, was very kind.
Everyone was very helpful throughout this process. Thank you to everyone who helped me get through this. I appreciated their multiple ways of contact and flexibility when I wasnt able to answer.
Hopefully wont be back but I would if needed.
I was in a car accident, and for over a year, the team at VanDerGinst Law guided me and helped me secure good compensation. I 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. I thought the language barrier would be a problem, but it never was. I recommend them 100%."

Thank you, Cesar, for the 5-star review and your kind words. We’re so glad to hear that Eric, Christina, and the VanDerGinst Law team could guide you through the process and keep you informed every step of the way. We’re especially happy that communication was smooth despite any language concerns. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you trusting our team during this time.
I was a Crossing Guard and was hit by a parent on a phone. No one would help me! I had to use my own insurance and savings to survive. No workman’s comp. No paid sick days and of course a lot of pain and depression! Eric Bodo and his assistant Sondra from VanDerGinst law pleaded my case for me and continue to fight setting up a trust so I can get disbursements over the duration of waiting time and live. It has been over 3 years and they are still working hard to win for me. My own auto insurance was to cover what remained as it was an underinsured driver and my own automobile insurance was a premium policy covering that issue. My own auto insurance is also making me plead for what is rightfully due and Eric and Sandra again are doing the work. They are five stars because they not only care but they get the job done!!!

My daughter and I were in a miner accident several years ago. It was just enough of an impact to trigger some health issues with my daughter. I am thankful for the team at VanDerGinst Law who made the process very easy for us. Our medical bills were covered. I did try on my own to get the other insurance to cover costs, but they refused to budge. I highly recommend.
Owner response

I was very happy with the services your law firm provided to me, in my case against my THEN employer, when I was hurt on the job. Kelly did an outstanding job on my case! Not only are they local, but they took on a local employer. I will most certainly use you in the future should I need your services. THANK YOU, for all that you have done for me and some former employees! YOU MADE OUR VOICES COUNT and your professional team was Top Notch, when it came to taking on our cases!

I had a mishap with a crossbow before heading to my tree stand one morning! It left me with an emergency room visit and extensive dental work and a noticeable scar! I reached out locally for legal assistance to no avail! I had been hearing an add from Vanderginst law and thought maybe they can help! I reached out and the next day they responded and said they would take on my case! After months of their hard work and expert advice we ended up settling and I was very pleased! I highly recommend this Law firm!
