A top-notch attorney!

David has been an asset to me throughout my separation, divorce, and ongoing family law case--providing sound guidance and decisive counsel. He is articulate and compelling in argument, and professional in all ways. As a client, I feel understood and very well represented. I highly recommend him!

Supporitve & Professional Attorney

I hired Attorney David R Cardamone to handle my divorce, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. He was highly experienced in family law and was able to provide me with clear advice every step of the way. David was always available for questions and responded quickly to my emails. Through...out the process, he was compassionate and supportive, which made a tough time easier to navigate. His negotiation skills were exceptional, and he helped me achieve a fair settlement. I appreciated his transparency when it came to billing, and I felt I got great value for my money. Highly recommend!

Best Attorney for DV Survivors

David outshines every attorney! As someone who has been through family law hell and a custody nightmare, trusting an attorney is a challenge. David understands DV, coercive control, post separation abuse and a litigant weaponizing the legal system to hurt and destroy their ex. Above all, he understan...ds the needs of the child and cares about the children. I believe he has young kids himself so perhaps it’s why he is able to quickly and immediately identify when an abuser is just going above and beyond to hurt the other party, but in reality hurting their child. While they say to leave emotions out of everything, David certainly fights for the best interest of your children as if they are his own. I searched high and low for someone that understands nonphysical DV like David does and I can’t be more fortunate to have him advocating on behalf of my children and me. His entire office is exceptional, caring and compassionate. I have not personally worked with Stephanie Palo but I also hear she is knowledgeable and exceptional. It gives me that extra confidence in the event she ever needs to step in if David is away or unavailable. If you want a kind, strong, knowledgeable, and sensitive attorney who will fight for you and most importantly, your children…I highly recommend David Cardamone!

Incredible Attorney and Human

David is an incredible Attorney and an even better person. In the 5+ years that he has represented our family, he has always gone above and beyond. Not only is he great at what he does, but he does it with heart. This has been an emotional time for our family, and David fought for what was right and ...just through every trial and tribulation. Going forward, I would 100% use his services again. I highly recommend David.

Family/Custody Matter

David is one of the most professional, kindest attorneys I have ever worked with. From our I tail intake call to every step of the most difficult moments of my case he has been there, available to answer questions and represent myself and my child’s best interest to his maximum ability. He’s beyond k...nowledgeable, thorough and kind. Custody matters are in my opinion the most sensitive cases we have to endure as parents. Make sure you have someone who doesn’t just understand the laws but can connect with you as a parent. I can go on and on. I will forever be grateful to David!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
