Patricia Van Haren

The founder of her eponymous law firm that is located in Irvine, California, Patricia Van Haren primarily focusing in all areas of Family Law through mediation and collaborative divorce. Providing representation to clients throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties, she has been admitted to practice before all California state courts since 2011.

A significant portion of Ms. Van Haren's family law client base consists of people whose marriages are coming to an end and who are thus having to deal with such divorce-related legal issues such as spousal and child support, the division of complex assets and debts, and child custody and visitation. A forceful courtroom advocate for her clients when litigation is necessary, her background and training in mediation allow her to often help some of them come to an accord on those matters through the method of alternative dispute resolution. Ms. Van Haren's other family law experience has encompassed adoptions, as well as paternity establishment and disputes, and she also assists people whose marriages have already been dissolved and who are now seeking the enforcement of or modifications to existing parenting and support orders.

Ms. Van Haren has received a great deal of recognition from her colleagues for her successful track record and high degree of ethics, including a 10 "Superb" peer review rating through Avvo. A 2010 Juris Doctor recipient from Abraham Lincoln University School of Law, she is a member of the Orange County Bar Association, Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles and other professional groups.
