What Makes Us Different?
Moral Compass
Moral compass is the ability to judge what is right or wrong and act accordingly. Laws exist to set moral boundaries and provide recourse for individuals or businesses that have been wronged. Integral to each legal action taken is the moral compass that guides our efforts at the Van De Water Law Firm, P.C. We understand the legal nuances involved in the employment-related and commercial litigation cases we handle. While working as Assistant General Attorney for the State of New York, Christopher Van De Water attained a broad perspective for moral compass through his acquired experience involving client defense.
Value System
Societies develop a coherent set of values that act as standards to guide behavior. Certain values are so central to how a society functions that they become part of the society’s legal system, which formally establishes its laws and regulations. When violations occur, disciplinary actions come into play, which serve to protect and preserve the core values. We work closely with our clients to inform them about the law and protect their rights within the legal system. Extensive experience litigating, negotiating and mediating disputed issues has provided Christopher Van De Water with a firm foundation to help protect your values.
Dogged Pursuit of Justice
Justice is the result of fair and proper administration of the law. Under federal, state and local justice systems, each individual has certain freedoms and rights, including the right of due process. Christopher L. Van De Water spent years in New York working as an Assistant Attorney General, which included legal work handling high-level cases in all the maximum security prisons throughout New York State. The Office of the Attorney General serves a dual role, as the “People’s Lawyer,” safeguarding the rights of New York Citizens and also as State’s chief legal counsel, advising and defending the government. At the Van De Water Law Firm, P.C., we put this past experience to use and doggedly pursue justice for our clients.
