About Us - West Seneca Family Law Attorneys

About Our Firm

Dijkstra & Van Houten is a family law and divorce practice based in West Seneca, New York. For over 50 years, our attorneys have served clients in Western Upstate New York in divorce, child custody, property division, adoption, and other family law matters.

Joseph K. Dijkstra and Sylvia A. Van Houten launched their namesake law firm in 1975 with a mission that continues to this day: to take the time to understand each client’s concerns, to protect their rights, and to give them the dignity they deserve. Each of our six attorneys brings a blend of legal experience, effective strategy, and compassion and empathy.

Just as each family is different, we understand that every case offers a unique set of challenges. While we strive to reach a compromise through settlement or mediation, our lawyers are prepared to litigate if that is the only way to preserve our client’s rights and best interests. We accept only a limited number of clients at a time, which allows us to provide the individual attention necessary.

What You Need to Know Before Getting Started

The decision to hire an attorney, especially for a significant life event involving your family and future, can feel intimidating, stressful, and confusing. At Dijkstra & Van Houten, we want you to feel comfortable, at ease, and secure from the start.

The first step is scheduling an initial consultation with one of our family lawyers. This session is completely confidential and may last 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the specifics of your situation. We will listen to your story, understand your needs and what’s at stake for you, fully answer every question, and explain what you can expect from the legal process.

There is a charge of $250 for this consultation. If we mutually agree that we are the right fit for your case, we will credit this charge to your attorney retainer fee.
