As he tells it, Mr. Van Boekel was inspired to pursue a career in law by his time spent serving in the army.
"My mother was a paralegal so I always had some curiosity about Law. But it wasn't until serving in the military that I decided to make a career in it. After leaving the service. I wanted to continue making a difference in people`s lives and believe Law is important because it can change people's lives for the better and you can make significant contributions to society acting as a lawyer".
Following in his mother`s footsteps, Mr. Van Boekel began his law career as a paralegal, a role he served in for over a decade. Wanting to expand his practice, he enrolled at Michigan State College of Law where he earned his Juris Doctor Cum Laude in 2009. While in law school Mr. Van Boekel clerked for the Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm as well as interned for Attorney Grievance Commission, which was responsible for the ethics of attorneys and disciplinary intakes.
Now leading his own Law Firm Mr. Van Boekel's practice primarily focused on helping clients all across New Jersey with a broad range of Immigration and Family matters.

He is also fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish, while his law firm`s other members speak languages such as Russian and Latvian, enabling them to represent a diverse clientele.
In addition to his committed representation, Mr. Van Boekel also has a reputation as a fierce and effective litigator who is willing to fight on behalf of his clients both inside and outside the courtroom. Over the course of his career, he has handled numerous divorce trials, domestic violence, restraining orders trials and countless family and immigration's law motions including those to enforce marital settlement agreements, motions to increase or decrease child support as well as child custody battles.
