Van DeWater and Van DeWater LLP was established in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1914 by John B. Van DeWater. His son, Robert B. Van DeWater, joined him in the practice of law in 1950. Since those historic beginnings, the firm has carried on a tradition of excellence for some ninety-two years.
Today, every client matter is assigned to a partner who is responsible for managing and coordinating all of the legal services required for that case. The firm then works as a team comprised of lawyers and paralegals who provide legal assistance appropriate to each of their strengths. Working in this way, we are innovative problem solvers, creative strategists and trusted advisors. We deliver value to our clients by helping them achieve their objectives through an efficient, collaborative, personalized and cost-effective effort.
We strive for resolutions to civil disputes whether inside or outside the courtroom. We are equally practiced in matters ranging from crisis management to routine closings. Our litigators are well acquainted with state and federal laws allowing them to skillfully maneuver their way through difficult channels. Yet, we always explore settlement options, counsel our clients in risk avoidance, and attempt to assess for them the potential costs and benefits of proceeding with litigation.
At the same time, we serve the needs of clients who value extensive trial and appellate experience, solid case preparation, and insightful strategic planning. We understand our clients' priorities and the forces driving their decisions.
Our dedication to the highest standards of legal excellence is demonstrated daily in everything we do.
