Zach is a great lawyer that cares deeply about his clients. He worked very hard to help me navigate my child custody case and ultimately was able to get me the outcome I desired. I highly recommend his services to people who are attempting to navigate child custody/child support cases.

I have used this firm in the past for my divorce. They have always been honest, supportive, and efficient. Zack and Jackie go above and beyond!

This guy is top notch! I got custody of my son because of him. Several other lawyers told me I didnt have chance. He stuck it out with me, worked with me financially and got me my son.

Zack along with Jackie are amazing. They are patient and understanding. I didn't have much knowledge to go on but they have the answers. As we continue to work together, just know I appreciate everything. Here's to a new year and great things. Thanks again!

This Attorney restored my Faith in not only attorneys but people in general. Zach VanDyke has always went above and beyond for me. He's the only Attorney I recommend to friends and family. His staff is friendly and accomodating as well.

Mr. VanDyke and Jackie were awesome. My husband was able to adopt my son and they even got our court hearing done BEFORE CHRISTMAS. The other party of my case was not really cooperative in the beginning but Zach and Jackie did not let that get in the way. I truly believe this practice cares for their clients and they go above and beyond to achieve your wants and needs and have your best interest in mind throughout the process. Thank you guys so much for everything and giving my son the dad he deserved!

WORST EXPERIENCE AT SUCH AN IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL TIME!! I would give ZERO stars if that was an option. We chose this team to help us with an adoption. Done all the paperwork and paid half of the fee (which was required) and waited for the birth of the baby. Were told to call when baby was born so someone could come to the hospital and finalize the paperwork. Baby was born on Friday and we called numerous times and left messages every day and finally received a call back on Monday (after all had been discharged from the hospital). Thankfully this was a relative adoption or we wouldn't have been able to take him home!! Went back to office on Tuesday to finalize paperwork. At the day of the court hearing with the judge, Zachary was late!! We waited and waited for the amended birth certificate, after I had to call vital statistics office in Jacksonville, they informed us that there was 1 piece of required paperwork that the attorney's office didn't send in so I had to call the attorney's office to get that sent. This process took almost 6 months to get his birth certificate which usually should only take 2-3. This office was slow to respond to emails or calls! Thankfully the vital statistics office was understanding when I explained that we couldn't add the baby to our insurance without the birth certificate and they sent it to us within 2 days. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!

They will inquire about your case and if it seems complicated they will just hang up the phone. I called back 10 seconds later apparently they were busy with someone else and said they would call back. They did not call back... thank you! saves me money and headaches...

If you need a lawyer, Zachary and his team are my number one recommendation to anyone. They've went above and beyond what I expected when we first meet. It may have been a long process, but they were very attentive during the whole experience. Any time I had questions they were always there. I can't thank them enough for helping me get my son back in my life. I'm truly grateful to have had their help through this rough patch.

This law firm is awesome my kids were removed from my home and he got them back home to me. They are always available when I need them very attentive and very helpful. The absolute best lawyer in town. If your looking for an attorney that is going to work for you then Zachery A Vandyke is your guy. Thank you all so much for bringing my family back together. You all are awesome Ms. Kim and Ms. Jackie. Yall are THE BEST.

Zach and his team are amazing. They were there for me through every step of a nasty divorce. Anytime I called (and I called a lot) I was always helped by who I can only refer to as an absolutely sincere team who knew exactly how to help me. I can't say "I won" because who wins in divorce right? But I walked away very happy with the final result.

Zach and Jackie were very thorough and timely. When things were taking long for the court system they would remind us of the processes and help with our worry.

Zach made me feel at ease in a mediation that was anticipated to be super stressful. Jackie has been super easy to work with as well.

Zack and Jackie did what we thought would be impossible. We are forever grateful that God directed us to them. They will always have a special place in heart for helping us get our precious little girl.

Horrible Staff, Horrible communication! I hired them in May and waited 5 months of hearing nothing from them. I called, I emailed, and never got any responses from his paralegal Jackie. Finally, I called one day and she made me an appointment to meet with zach. I had to leave work early, and when I got there I was under the impression that zach had set up a phone meeting with another lawyer who specializes in my type of cases. That right there should've been a red flag. Turns out, he didn't even set that up and made me leave my job early just to ask me general questions that I had answered to him and his paralegal 5 months ago!!! When I asked why nothing had been done on my case, he said we have a "12 month window" to file. I shouldn't have to wait the entire year when I wanted to file immediately! So I fired them and hired a new attorney. I spoke with jackie on the phone to notify her of this and asked her to mail me my client file, I also emailed her this request. It has been another three weeks with no response and I have not received my file! I am going to be forced to leave my job early again to deal with these unprofessional people just to get what I actually need done that should've been done the first time I requested it!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND HIRE SOMEONE ELSE.

ZERO STARS is not an option or I would have chosen it!!
Mr. VanDyke is opposing Counsel in my Modification of Child Support & Time Share case. True, he is not my Attorney but after seeing how he has managed or I should say mismanaged this entire case I would NEVER recommend him to anyone unless they really don’t want a case to end. I opened this case May 2016 and from the beginning of it there were countless issues with Mr. VanDyke's office. From not submitting Mandatory Items on time nor correctly to rescheduling Mediation numerous times for no reason and without substantial notice. After waiting 3 months to get an Agreement from his office I filed for Case Management Conference as my Legal Counsel was not getting anywhere with his office. Since March 2017 we have had 3 Case Management Hearings along with a Final Hearing on Aug 15 2017. It is now 3 weeks later and still nothing is done. I have emailed and left several phone messages for him and ALL of them have been utterly ignored and dismissed. Finally yesterday I spoke with his PA Ms. Rios and she assured me I would have an Agreement to sign by this morning…..YEUP YOU GUESSED IT….NO AGREEMENT. I have called their office again today and was put on hold for about 3 minutes. Then I was told that neither Ms. Rios nor Mr. VanDyke were in the office. Why would it take several minutes to find out they weren't there?? I assure you they were there but they don’t want to do their job. I have reported them to the Bar Association for the lack of professionalism as it is inexcusable and the manner in which this case is being handled is disgusting to say the least.

10/2017 Update: This office didn't even show up or have a Sub for a CMC scheduled by the Court yesterday. I attended the CMC alone!! They still haven't even sent an drafted Agreement and our Final Hearing was back in Aug. This office has been and continues to be utterly negligent of my case. I can't imagine anyone being satisfied with his service. I am so glad he isn't my Attorney. It's just a shame he is the opposing counsel for my case. They have done nothing buy make empty claims that things will be done and then when they haven't done them I get ignored when I call or email them to find out what the delay is. To say this has been a horrific experience doesn't even cover it!!

Had faith in him until emails went ignored for weeks on end. Took our money and over two months later has done nothing. He could have submitted a motion on my behalf within days and still refused to. Only answered my emails when I told him I was disputing our $7500 cc and still did nothing and his paralegal still has not contacted us to get all information on the case. Thank goodness we have ARAG insurance as they are helping us get a new attorney for this matter and then for malpractice. Will also be filing complaints as all should do who have a problem. Your attorney cannot abandon nor neglect you. Since we hired him, all these bad reviews came in, so clearly he is doing it across the board. Do not take on new clients if you don't have time for them, the purpose of advanced fees is to make you available to handle that client as they deserve.

I went to the law firm on June 14th. I filled out all of my paperwork as requested by Jackie. They charged me their fee on June 22nd. I continued calling and leaving messages to determine the status. I EVENTUALLY got ahold of Jackie who claimed to have the incorrect number for me (even though I left it on messages as well as the original completed paperwork). I was sent forms to fill out on July 19th (over a month after I first visited their office). I followed up afterwards with no reply. It is now August 10th and I have recieved nothing. I don't even believe they have filed anything. It's such a headache. I would never recommend this firm to anyone and wish I had originally gone somewhere else. Filing a complaint with my card company since they charged me for services not rendered and hoping I can collect at least some of the funds that I threw away on them! Sad sad sad!

This law firm doesn't return calls. I had to call back several times after they told me they would call me back as soon as the got the information. Mr. Van Dyke is incompetent and doesn't present the correct information to his clients. For what he gets paid he should know how to do his job!! Worst lawyer ever!! Only after he messes up several times does he want to fight for his clients. Do not hire him!!

Worst law firm out there!!!! Had a settlement at mediation and they never followed thru and prepared the paperwork. Just left me hanging. Called and emailed monthly. Don't go anywhere near his paralegal Jacki. Will be suing for my money back.

TERRIBLE. Never would return calls or emails, did not let us know court dates, and would not fight for his client whatsoever. We ended up getting ignored after all this was over and we found out that the lawyer agreed to the amount of child support and timeshare and could not be changed. He was a sad excuse for a lawyer.
