Our mission
AVB Law aims to support victims of personal injury with accessible and careful legal assistance. We believe it is important that clients understand their position and the steps being taken. Our motivation is to bring peace of mind and clarity to a process that can be complex and stressful, so that clients can focus as much as possible on their recovery.
Who we are and what we stand for
AVB Law is a personal injury law firm based in Amsterdam, founded in 2014 by Babette van Beest. From the belief that personal injury practice can be more human and clearer, we have built a firm where personal attention and legal quality go hand in hand. We specialise in personal injury cases, including traffic accidents, workplace accidents and other situations where someone is injured due to the fault of another party. We work on a small and personal scale, with direct contact between client and lawyer and a strong focus on clear explanations.
Our approach
Good guidance starts with clear communication and realistic expectations. That is why we work step by step and keep clients informed throughout the entire process. We explain what is happening, why it is happening and what the next step will be. This keeps the process clear and manageable, so you remain in control of your case. Because our legal assistance in personal injury cases does not cost you personally, you can fully focus on your recovery while we handle the legal process and ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.

Our clients can express it better than we can. In their words, you will read how important it is to feel heard, to receive clarity and to know that someone is standing beside you during a difficult time.
I see Ms. van Beest and her team as true fighters who don’t let go until everything is handled properly and the best possible result is achieved. I want to say a huge thank you to Team AVB Law, and especially to Babette van Beest, for everything she has done for me. While I hope it won’t be necessary, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again if the need arises.

In my opinion, AVB Law’s greatest strength lies in their communication. They often needed just a single word to understand exactly what I was trying to say. On top of that, I was always kept well-informed about the status of my case.

Daarnaast waren ze toegankelijk waardoor ik niet aarzelde om bij vragen contact met mijn advocaat op te nemen. Dankzij de bemoedigende woorden heeft Sanna mij begeleid, ondanks dat de zaak lang heeft geduurd. Ook daar ben ik goed op voorbereid.

Throughout my case (which ultimately spanned 11 years), Raymond consistently maintained a perfect balance: staying calm in his energy, being verbally indignant when necessary, and always keeping a strategic eye on the bigger picture.

Ben hem verder dankbaar dat hij na een jaar of drie zei dat de echte schade over nog een aantal jaren alleen maar zichtbaarder zou worden. En dat hij volhield om eerst overeenstemming te hebben over welke onderzoeken op mij zouden worden verricht en door wie, voordat we verder konden.
Verder hadden we altijd contact als ik daar behoefte aan had, hij belde bijna altijd terug of liet iets weten.
Tot slot voelde ik me zo vertrouwd bij hem dat ik mij aan zijn wijsheid durfde over te geven. Dat laatste voelde ik ook bij Babette en daarbij sprak haar energie van doorpakken aan mij aan en dat wat ik aandroeg ook echt werd meegenomen in de verdere procedure. Ik heb AVB Law dankzij de goede begeleiding al aan twee anderen aangeraden.
Zo terugkijkend: wat een proces en zo fijn en dankbaar dat zij als constante rustige, kundige, en krachtige factor in het ‘gevecht’ met de verzekeraar mij bij stonden en voor mij op traden.
