One of NJ's BEST, Committed Compassionate

David handled my divorce matters a number of years ago. He was the best! He not only represented me legally, he truly cared at a time that I needed it most. I knew without any doubt that I had an excellent and committed representative in my corner. David went above and beyond the call of duty to be ...there for me. His advice was spot on, and he helped guide me through one of the toughest experiences of my life. You need David if you unfortunately find yourself facing the nightmare that divorce can often inflict upon you.

Solid and steady

Have worked w. Dave on some personal matters. He was great communicating with me, with others and was clear and concise as far as expectations, timelines, and kept everything professional. Couldn't have asked for more. Fair, solid, and would recommend to anyone who needs a family attorney.

Repeat business tells the tale!

Over the course of several years, I hired David Scott Mack 3 times.... YES....THREE times! Throughout my cases, David was relentless and was able to overcome what seemed like, and was, an uphill climb. He listens attentively to all details and will exercise the full gamut of legal options available.... He is very responsive, knowledgeable, professional, kind and understanding. I cannot say enough good about this attorney. When everything matters and you need someone on your side, do not hesitate to hire this attorney. David Scott Mack is a rock-solid warrior!!

Highly recommended!

Our family has worked with David on a number of legal matters and he has always gotten us the very best results. David is a true professional, always well prepared and thorough, and has a kind and caring manner that makes the legal process a lot less stressful than it might otherwise be. I would gi...ve him the highest recommendation.

Professional and Caring

Dave represented me in my divorce with an outstanding level of both professionalism and care. He looked out for my best interest during the whole process. When I let emotions get in the way of good judgment, he was quick to bring me back to reality. He knew what and when to battle for me.

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.
