Van Der Maaten and Stephen J. Belay.

The attorneys and staff of the firm are committed to continuing the strong tradition of client service. Though a general practice firm, the attorneys have organized themselves in distinct practice areas allowing us to collectively serve the various legal needs of our growing number of clients.

In addition to the attention and skills of our individual attorneys, every client benefits from the total experience and expertise of our firm. We actively exchange information on new developments and trends in the law and regularly pursue continuing professional education.

Members of the firm are committed to community involvement and have in the past and continue today to volunteer their time and talent to community service and charitable organizations. Firm attorneys are active in the local, state and national bar associations. Some things have changed through the years, but our primary objective has always remained constant-providing our clients with competent, professional and courteous legal services performed in a timely manner at a fair fee. We consider this the key to the success of Anderson, Wilmarth, Van Der Maaten & Belay. We invite you to meet us. We would welcome the opportunity to serve you and your legal needs.
