David Elbaum

David Elbaum is a true professional, wisened by years of experience. He’s candid when appropriate, tenacious when necessary, and meticulous with detail. When I found myself in need of such services, David was highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. During some particularly trying moments of neg...otiation with my ex-spouse (and co-parent of our children), David was consistently a “better angel” on my shoulder, encouraging firm but fair solutions while gently guiding me away from pursuing any legal options that, had I taken them, I would have looked back upon with regret. And he wasn’t shy about suggesting options that might save me money and heartache in the long run—like attempting mediation / agreement drafting first, etc—whereas some other divorce lawyers might have seen an opportunity to pad their own hours and fees. Anyone that’s been through the gauntlet knows that no one emerges “victorious” from a divorce negotiation. But David easily stood up to (and outclassed) his counterparts exactly when I needed him to. I trust him, and in the years since using his services I’ve recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the terrible situation of requiring a divorce lawyer.

I hired David Elbaum to assist and offer his expertise in a parenting custody matter. He was uninterested, undermining, a bad communicator. DAVID was unable to listen, therefore delivered wrong Information to the other party. He showed no interest in what he was being hired to do ( at one point prefe...rring to discuss how great his girlfriend had decorated his corner office) !!!! . David Elbaum does not possess the bedside manner or the compassion to deal with such sensitive subject matter. I believe I could have done more, and gotten further without his help. I certainly recommend doing more research. I now have a lawyer who has done more to push my issues forward in two week, than David was able to accomplish in over six months he was retained to assist.
