Always Neutral.
Promoting Fair Workplaces and Safe Campuses Since 2010.

Van Dermyden Makus is recognized as one of the leading law firms in conducting workplace and campus investigations in the nation. We are one of the largest law firms dedicated to neutral work and therefore, we have the capacity and resources to staff any case, no matter how large or small.

Bigger than big law.

 

Unlike most law firms, our attorneys are exclusively committed to providing neutral investigative and client services. We are committed to leading and teaching developments in the ever-changing landscape of the world of investigations consistent with industry standards and local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

Guaranteed impartiality.

 

The Van Dermyden Makus Law Corporation is uniquely situated to act as third-party impartial investigators, unencumbered by any concerns about advocacy either for or against employers and employees. We view evidence in an objective manner and don’t have a stake in the outcome of investigations. This neutrality allows our clients to make sound business decisions upon which they can rely, knowing our process was neutral and fair and can withstand scrutiny.

Depth of experience.

 

Together, Senior Partners Sue Ann Van Dermyden and Eli Makus have over 50 years of legal experience, including over 30 years devoted exclusively to conducting investigations. They have conducted and overseen thousands of workplace and campus investigations, have been designated as expert witnesses, and lead a team of top-notch attorneys.
