Philipsburg, St. Maarten – On December 9, 2024, amidst colleagues and close relatives, Managing Partner of DEJONG, Ms. Valya Pantophlet, was officially sworn in as an attorney at law. The oath taking ceremony was conducted by a panel of three judges, led by Mr. Gertjan Wouters, Vice-President of the Joint Court of Justice.
During this momentous occasion, Pantophlet vowed to obtain the highest standards and integrity as is required in the legal profession, but also those that underscore the values upheld by DEJONG.
With this milestone now behind us, Pantophlet is eager to continue her quest to addressing critical community needs, particularly succession land issues in St. Maarten, Statia, and Saba as well as promoting amicable dispute resolution, which has its benefits in small island communities over lengthy and contentious litigation.
