Stop Searching And Hire David
I initially hired David in a consulting capacity but after our first detailed call together, I knew that he was the person I would want to represent me in my divorce. His wealth of knowledge, practical and actionable advice, coupled with his patience and friendly demeanor made him the right choice for me. He knew what strategic moves to make and the timing of those moves and he was able to explain them to a layperson like me who has no knowledge of the law. He also tirelessly advocated for my position and my interests when dealing with the opposing counsel and I appreciated his persistence throughout. Finally, I believe that he was very fair in the way that he charged me and everything was very transparent. Divorce is stressful by nature and I will forever be grateful to David for taking an immense weight off of my shoulders.

Excellent Divorce Attorney
David Wilkinson is the best attorney I've worked with on my divorce, and I had fired many before finally finding this professional. My case was long and drawn out, and that was in part due to having inferior representation. Finally having a competent professional like David on my side was such a relief. He understands procedural law, which is integral. He is also very personable and that helps when dealing with difficult personalities on the opposing side. Over the years sitting waiting to be called up in court, I've watched countless family attorneys speak to the judge and many of them are flat out terrible at it. David speaks intelligently and clearly. David is an excellent divorce attorney with the experience and competence required to have the best result possible.
