GMW lawyers

Sophie Vermeule defended me in a formidable divorce situation. I am alone here in the Netherlands and through her expertise and calm empathic demeanor she navigated the situation exceptionally.

I was never once left with doubt or anxiety under her care. She always replies extremely quick with extreme importance. I’ve never met a more sophisticated, capable, hard working professional than Sophie. It was amazing to see someone as her in the court room. She speaks with such confidence in a well articulated structured manner that draws your entire attention.

To be honest, there is no better choice than her. It was solely because of her hard work and actions that I am reunited living happily with my child. Thank you Sophie, I will never forget what you did for me!

Kind regards,
Jake (a very happy client)

Amber Willemsen's legal expertise was evident from our first meeting. She navigated my employment law issue with precision and compassion, ensuring I was well-informed every step of the way. Amber's advocacy and approach led to a favorable outcome that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation.

I'm very satisfied with the legal services I received from GMW. I contacted them for legal advice with a work-related matter. They were fast to put me in touch with Amber Willemsen. Amber was diligent, thorough, and empathetic. She helped me understanding my rights/the Dutch law better, and inspired me trust every step of what was a new process to me. I will definitely contact GMV and/or Amber if I need legal advice in the future.

I reached out to GMW seeking a legal advice regarding the termination agreement with my former employer. Amber Willemsen helped me to comprehend my rights, offered a thorough analysis of my situation, negotiated on my behalf with the company and guided me through every stage of this challenging process with professionalism and care. I am happy with the outcome and very grateful for her expertise and support. I highly recommend Amber and the GMW team for their exceptional legal assistance.

I had a great experience working with Amber from GMW lawyers. She was very thorough looking into the details and made the whole process much easier. I really recommend!

Mechteld is an exceptional professional. Her knowledge and advice surpass any I've received before. She is transparent, honest, and offers guidance tailored to your best interests. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a lawyer specializing in business law.

Amazing service.

Seliz Demirci from GMW Lawyers has represented me and she helped me along the whole process. She was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable.

Excellent communication, fast feedback loop and great guidance.

Thank you!

I received a redundancy notice from my employer, I came to GMW for advise on my redundancy package. Amber Willemsen was able to provide very thorough and sound advise within the deadline that had been set for signing the settlement agreement. Amber was pleasure to work with, she thought with me and gave me advise based on my wishes. I would definitely recommend her to anyone else in my position.

I contacted GMW (with Seliz Demirci) for legal advice regarding the 30% ruling issue with my former employer. Seliz Demirci helped me analyze the situation, negotiate with the company, and guided me throughout the process with professionalism. I am happy with the outcome and highly recommend Seliz Demirci for her legal services.

If I had a 10 star option for this review, I’d give my lawyer, Amber such a rating.

Her patience and professionalism during what was such a difficult situation for me made the world of a difference. I highly recommend her for any labour law related needs for both locals and expats. Thank you, Amber!

Sophie Vermeule's services was absolutely top tier. She gives attention to detail, always going above and beyond to keep proceedings transparent and managed to also advice on future prospects.

Two brilliant lawyers—Susan Meijler and Dylan Bertsch of GMW Advocaten— accompanied me through the entire process of 6 separate successful hearings over a period of almost 24 months touching on issues ranging from custody, choice of school, alimony, to foreign relocation.

I call Susan “la force tranquille”, and Dylan “the strategic negotiator.” They approach issues with impressive surgical precision. Calm, composed, direct and straight to the point in both written and oral pleadings as well as negotiations. No beating about the bush that might get judges impatient and lost. I would learn from them that “less is more” is also a strategy that works in litigation. In negotiations, Dylan’s guiding mantra seems to be “pick your battles”. In other words, he is about giving up short term minor wins for long term big ones—a strategy which I saw work brilliantly in my case.

These two make a formidable team and complement each other excellently! You will get frank assessments about what is possible (or not) in your case from the outset. They work and think along with you every step of the way and inject a good dose of empathy too in the process. If you are ever caught up in the kind of messy family law situation I was in, you absolutely want either (or both) of them looking after your interests. They don’t come cheap though (!) But the overall results—at least in my case— justifies every dime charged. And I would absolutely not hesitate retaining them again! For best results, be completely transparent and honest with them! Thank you again Susan & Dylan, for the great work. I only hope I don't have to see you again, as Susan jovially told me at our last meeting:-).

I am extremely satisfied with the assistance offered to me by GMW Advocaten. Mevr. Amber Willemsen has handled my case with unwavering care and professionalism, and I couldn’t be happier with her services. Especially commendable are her outstanding humane care, as she offers support well beyond her duties, and patience. Legal proceedings are daunting by nature, but at least at GMW Advocaten you’re still a person.

EDIT: while I’m not going to share details, I urge readers to consider this a seven out of five stars

I contacted GMW for assistance in finishing a contract with a builder due to very poor and unprofessional work done at home. Daniël Huijboom helped us to resolve the dispute diligently and effectively. I definitely will recommend this law firm to other expats.

Working with GMW lawyers was such an easy, swift, and professional experience. My partner and I worked with Mr. Glenn Kerver. He was extremely helpful and took the time to explain our purchase agreement to us. I definitely will recommend this law firm to other expats.

Professional, Efficient And Very Knowledgeable.

I would like to extend my thanks to Seliz Demirci, her assistance was invaluable and she kept me up to date with developments throughout the process. A very stressful situation was resolved quickly. I was more than pleased with the outcome.
I would also like to thank Glenn Kerver (who is representing me in another case) for recommending Seliz.
Choosing GMW lawyers has proven to be the best decision I could have made.

I was extremely proud to work with GWM and had a very good experience with advocate Zoë Ris.

I cannot recommend her highly enough for her strategic legal insight and talent for finding the best outcome for her clients. All the while navigating the complex Dutch legal system in perfect English!

Unlike other lawyers I interviewed before, Zoë really took the time to listen to me, in order to fully understand my case, and give me the best advice and options.

Unfortunately we still had to go to court, but even so, Zoë made the experience as pleasant as possible with a kind and professional way of working that made an otherwise harrowing experience something that brought me closure and allowed me to confidently make my case to the judge — and win!

Zoë’s ability to weigh the risks of different strategies in real time was especially helpful in court. She’s also fiercely protective of her clients interests! GMW has a quietly rising star on it’s hands that they can be really proud of!

I had an outstanding experience with GMW lawyers for assistance with reviewing a settlement agreement. Their expertise and professional approach were truly exceptional.

Amber provided me with expert guidance and explained every aspect of the settlement agreement in clear and understandable terms. Her attention to detail and prompt responsiveness to my questions and concerns were remarkable. I felt valued as a client and reassured throughout the process. The level of professionalism and service I received was top-notch.

I highly recommend GMW lawyers and Amber for anyone in need of legal support.

I Could not be happier with my experience using GMW, I was lucky enough to work with Glenn through my case from overseas. From start to finish the process was done with complete professionalism and finished a success. Glenn was completely polite and patient through the Process, he gave me very valuable advice based off his experience which payed off and worked out nicely. If I am ever in a situation where I need a lawyer again GMW and Glenn will be the first people I call.
World class!

Thank you!

I would highly recommend Godelijn Boonman and Glenn Kerver of GMW Advocaten. From the beginning to the end of our engagement, they were exceptionally client focused, professional and kind. I had complete trust in them and I am very grateful for their excellent expertise and support. I always felt that they represented my best interests and I would not hesitate to work with them again.
