I can’t say enough about Mike and his assistant Barb. They are kind and compassionate people. I have hired a number of attorneys in my lifetime and never came across an attorney that was as responsive as Mike. He is extremely busy as he is in high demand, but despite that he was extremely prompt in getting back to me and I had a lot of questions! Mike was well prepared in court and fought hard for my daughters and I. He was up against a tough defense but he came through and I would highly recommend him to anyone in a family law case.

We were extremely appreciative for Mike's guidance, encouragement, and professionalism as we endured a year of extremely difficult custody challenges. Mike's advice at our initial meeting proved to be incredibly valuable and instrumental in the outcome with the GAL’s report, and his ongoing advice was highly beneficial on the best way to conduct oneself while navigating coparenting challenges. Mike was very attentive and thorough with his questions and notetaking, as well as excellent in providing answers to our many questions. We were so grateful for his respectful, well-spoken, and prepared appearances in court which provided us with a great sense of calm and reassurance that we were well represented. Mike's paralegal, Barb, was a tremendous asset to the team that we were so happy to call our own. We were impressed with the manner in which Barb interacted with us, with her very pleasant demeanor, attention to detail, and excellent communication. Both Mike and Barb were as prompt to respond to our calls and emails as was promised in our initial meeting. We are very happy to have chosen Mike to advise and advocate for us. While the end result can rarely be guaranteed, knowing that Mike was extending every possible effort gave us great confidence. Coming through the other side of this ordeal with precisely the outcome that was hoped for is primarily due to Mike's skilled work and to following his expert recommendations. We are forever grateful.

We hired Mike to represent my daughter in a divorce which involved children and a relocation hearing. Mike was committed to the case and got the best possible outcome for my daughter and her children. He was polite, professional and prepared. After working in law enforcement for nearly 30 years, I have been around plenty of attorneys and I can tell you without a doubt that Mike Vannier is the most articulate, ethical and professional lawyer that I have ever been around. Mike, Barb and all of the staff at the firm were great to work with. I would highly recommend Mike and would not hesitate to hire him again.

I was referred to Mike by a friend for my divorce case with children involved. I specifically sought out Mike as I was told he doesn't appreciate "dead beat parents". While my former other half is not a dead beat, I can appreciate a man who will still stand and fight for true values. I was very nervous in meeting with Mike as I had very little knowledge of divorce proceedings, as a housewife and mother of 5 small children, but right away he set me at ease. He was personable and honest. I require the latter and appreciate the former. Throughout the long process of our case, Mike and his amazing assistant, Barb, were outstanding, professional, well organized and knowledgeable! He never had to get nasty like our opposing council, although I know if it would have come to that, he would have fought tooth and nail for myself and my five children. I have told him every chance I get that I appreciate not only his tactics as a lawyer, but more so, who he is as a human being. He is intelligent, calm, tactful, and by the book. In court, he had answers and solutions to the judge's questions while my ex-husband's lawyer fumbled about and couldn't find her documents or defend her client. I joke ***KIND OF**** with my friends about how I would like to pay for another year's worth of his services just to email him once or twice a month to make sure he still has his wits about him, which I can assure you he does. He allowed me to not only ask a gazillion questions and SCREAM at him on the phone about the opposing side without any hard feelings. My ex husband mentioned that his lawyer always took a day or 2 to respond to him, while Mike or Barb responded to me nearly immediately EVERY time I had questions or concerns... and there were a LOT of questions. I appreciate that as much as everything else. I write this review in pure bliss from my beautiful deck overlooking this glorious valley; something that I could have very easily lost without proper representation. If you are looking for quality, professional representation with an abundance of integrity and grit, Mike is your guy! He was my guy and I will be forever grateful! ***If none of this sounds like what you're looking for in a lawyer, I can refer to you my ex-husbands bully lawyer that showed her vile character in court and lost to the n'th degree across the board. Having said that, I can appreciate her for helping my ex-husband and I agree on the absolute NEED to hire the proper attorney for the job! Choose wisdom. Choose experience. Choose INTEGRITY. Choose Mike Vannier! Sidebar: It's pronounced Vanny-eh! He's Canadian after all!

Excellent Lawyer! Things Could Have Not Turned Out Better, In Favor, He Guided Me Every Step Of The Way And Made Sure All My Paper Work Was Well Presented, In Court He Stepped Up For Me And Asked For Everything In My Best Interest and What I Had Asked For. Great Lawyer Highly Recommend!

Mike represented my case to gain full custody of my niece. His experience and knowledge were immediately apparent from his straightforward approach. He took the time to truly understand the unique situation I was in and gave me all of my options, explaining the differences in each choice. He is extremely thorough and took the time to answer every question I had throughout the entire process, and kept me well informed. He is a true professional, is always exceptionally prepared, and was determined to help me win my case. I would recommend Mike to anyone I know, and am truly grateful to have had such wonderful representation.

Mike represented me 6 years ago during a difficult divorce. This many years later, I got great news about my kids all getting into great colleges and he was one of the first people I thought of to thank. He is one of the most professional, dedicated human beings I have ever met.

I had the privilege to work with Mike through one of the most emotionally traumatic experiences of my life; the divorce from my spouse. Mike handled my case with honor and deep respect while at the same time tenaciously protecting my legal rights. Mike is an upstanding professional who handles himself with integrity,conviction and a high level of moral standards . I would highly recommend Mike and would use him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Mike!

Mike helped me through a high-conflict divorce and was extremely competent. My situation was not a standard divorce, we had a business and several other assets to divide. Mike was extremely skilled in how he handled all the situations that arose as we worked through everything we needed to do. When we needed to involve other individuals to assist with different parts of the settlement process, he acted quickly and professionally. Ultimately, I feel I received a fair settlement, mostly because of Mike's hard work and professionalism. Even the Judge remarked at our Settlement Conference how impressed he was with the work of my Attorney. This was one of the most difficult situations I've ever faced, but I did have confidence that I had the best representation I possibly could with Mike Vannier. Every person I worked with in his office was always kind and very helpful as well. I would highly recommend Mike Vannier.

I’ve had custody of my kids since Xmas day 2012. Since then, my ex has tried numerous times and a variety of different ways to try to get custody back. The latest, I couldn’t use my original lawyer due to a conflict of interest relating to my current wife. My original lawyer highly recommended I talk to Mr. Vannier. He took the case. He did a fantastic job of getting himself caught up with the history of the case in such a short time, and knowing how he wanted to argue the accusations. On our day in court, Mr. Vannier conducted himself very professionally. He was very knowledgeable and efficient with his points and arguments. We won, the motion for contempt was denied. I can’t thank Mr Vannier enough for the job he did. If he’s your lawyer, you are in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend Mike Vannier!
