Divorce attorney

Made math errors while having all the detail that cost me thousands of dollars. Promised to meet me for the closing and never called. Then shared that the Judge made his decision and the closing wasn't important. I watched the other side press an outstanding closing and not leaving a stone unturne...d. He told me the Judge doesn't like you. Several attorneys later explained it had to do with the delivery and the closing is as important, LAZY!

The BEST Divorce Attorney in NJ!

I met with a number of attorney's regarding my divorce. As soon as I met with Mr. O'Sullivan I immedately felt a level of comfort that I hadn't experienced at any other consultations I previously had. Mr. O'Sullivan was extremely attentive as I spoke about my situation and had a number of great su...ggestions and offered concrete advice as to how he would handle my highly complex case. Mr. O'Sullivan's knowledge of the laws amazes me . His level of integrity, honesty and professionalism are second to none. When he needs to fight, Mr. O'Sullivan fights hard and aggressively -- he always gives 110% in all that he does and gets RESULTS! No matter what time I reach out to him, Mr. O'Sullivan responds immediately -- he makes himself available to discuss any issues (major or minor) I may have. He always makes me feel as though I am his only priority (even though I know how busy he really is). Mr. O'Sullivan has an outstanding reputation amongst other attorneys and is extremely well respected and highly regarded whenever I mention his name and see him interact with his peers.. Thus far, I have been extremely pleased with the level of service and the results that Dave has achieved with regards to my ongoing, and highly contentious divorce. I have the utmost faith and confidence that he will succeed in getting me the most favorable and positive result at the end of this litigation. Having Dave guiding and representing me was the best decision I made. I would highly recommend David T. O'Sullivan to anyone looking for an attorney, especiallly a divorce attorney.

Skilled litigator

It took five years and as many lawyers to find Mr. O’Sullivan. From what he has accomplished since with grace, truth, and shown me is legally possible since placing him on retainer, I can only surmise that a greater power thought it important for me to experience the narcissistic maniacal and lip se...rvice attorneys rivaling the ex attorney spouse that came before him. He is respectful of where I have come from, he does not look down on me for staying when I should have left, he understands the emotional roller coaster and deception of which the children and I continue to live with, and is more than willing and able to confront adversity while protecting me from blows intended to harm. His truths are brazen and lack sugar coating, a quality I admire and more of us need to hear in place of promises never intended or possible. He has extensive and astute financial experience from which to draw from for advise whether real estate, personal finances, or the need for planning as example, and savvy enough to know when it is best to refer out to his extensive circle of trusted professional resources. He is willing to admit when things confound and search for the answer within the law while utilizing his capable, client supportive, and outstanding staff to prepare. He is accessible, chivalrous (loyal, considerate, courteous), and honest to a fault (understanding that the truth often hurts, needs to be said, and provided without maliciousness or implied fault). He gets the demoralization, discouragement, and deceptiveness that accompanies divorce and its all-encompassing co-morbidities [sic] and is willing to take a stand backed by the full knowledge of the law. He counsels with and seeks the truth. As a corporate attorney’s wife for over thirty years, I am very confident in recommending Mr. O’Sullivan in his specified areas of expertise. Sadly, from those years and literally hundreds of rolodex attorneys known both professionally and personally, there is only one other officer of the court for which I have such confidence (Estate Law, Indiana). In choosing Mr. O’Sullivan to represent your interests, you will find a highly qualified professional providing solid advice, alternatives when possible, and a knack for reading people. That last quality should never be underestimated in contentious litigation. He is not a therapist nor should he be, but is fully prepared with the necessary intellectual and social skills to perform his job and will give you the best of his ability. I hope that as a potential client you will do him the same justice in providing honest disclosure in return.-

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David and I were adversaries on a very contentious and financially complex divorce. David was incredibly proficient at the nuances of determing the value of a business as well as cash flow of the litigants. It was a pleasure working with an attorney who understood the complex financial and tax issues presented in high net worth divorce. David is agressive but not unreasonable which is a valuable combination in the divorce arena."
