Wow! The fastest uncontested divorce possible in NYS

When I contacted David Centeno early this July he explained his process and answered my questions, some of which are complicated as I have been in an odd situation (which I won't go into here) which pretty much led me to need to get divorsed ASAP. Investigating Legal Aid, among other options showe...d me that the divorse would take over a year in Kings County, and I could not wait that long. David has developed a process that is as painless as it possibly can be, with a detailed intake form and streamlined process which does not appear to require in person meetings. The normal processing applies when time isn't as much an issue as it was for me, and that's considerably less expensive. In my case, I needed the quick option, the blue pill so to speak, and once I won't through the initial intake process and paid all the legal fees, my papers were filed and I received a divorse 9 days later - the fastest anyone yet has gotten a legal divorse in NYS. I haven't yet received the paperwork proving I'm divorsed (that will take a couple of weeks more) but I can't imagine a faster, more painless option for getting an uncontested divorse in New York than what the law office of David Centeno created, saving me much needless pain and suffering I might have endured had I chosen another lawyer or had tried to do it myself. It's not that people can't figure out some of the processes David uses, it's more that few people have that kind of time to spend finding out. David's fairly unique expedited process is very effective, based on my own experience. The law office of David Centeno is also very Internet savvy, having a great presence in Search Engines, David is easy to find. Also, his staff was present to answer questions promptly and he kept me informed throughout all proceedings. I reccomend the Law Office of David Centeno for your own uncontested divorse proceedings in New York State, and elsewhere when he establishes offices in other states.

Wonderful!! David Centeno is HIGHLY professional, caring, and informative.

I called the office this morning for the first time. Someone immediately answered the phone and she was professional, sweet and efficient (I think her name was Angelica?). She told me I could speak to David TODAY and that David would be calling at 3:10pm. My phone rang at 3:06pm. David provided me wi...th all the information I needed and even sent me an email while were on the phone. His fees are completely reasonable. He was also upfront about any potential additional costs that could apply. I feel so much better knowing my options, costs, and most importantly how this process will work. Anyone reviewing this website knows that divorce is an emotional experience that isn't easy. After talking to David I feel relieved and less scared about my finances. For the person who posted David is "Unprofessional" I am sorry, but I could not disagree with you more. I had the exact opposite experience. I had low expectations because I was thinking, "This is a website and what are the chances that the first attorney I call will be the right attorney"..... my expectations were not only met but exceeded.

I would recommend him to EVERYONE!

He kept me informed every step of the way, I felt like I had nothing to worry about because he would always contact me telling me what's going on with me case!

Unprofessional

I've had a "free consultation" with David Centeno, that lasted all 10 minutes! The consultation was a joke. He gave me almost no relevant information. He kept repeating that he doesn't have the time to answer my questions, because he's got another call in a couple minutes. He was the most unhelpful a...nd unprofessional attorney I have spoken to in the last two weeks. Maybe it's lack of experience or he's simply unkind and lazy. Either way, please do yourself a favor and go to someone else who's informative and professional.

This woman was requesting in our free consultation that I do all of her child support, child support add-on and spousal maintenance calculations for her. This level of detailed work requires that a potential client retain me. I explained this to her and she was not happy. Sometimes we get people who are looking for us to do all their calculations for them, so they can attempt to do the separation or divorce paperwork themselves. Although this is the very first time anyone has gone as far to leave a review like this when I wouldn't do free legal work for them. As an experienced divorce attorney, I understand that divorce and separation can be very stressful, so I do have compassion for this woman's situation and state of mind. Although for purposes of assessing my qualifications as an attorney, please take a look at my ACTUAL CLIENT REVIEWS and 10 / 10 AVVO RATING, as they will paint an extremely different picture of what it's like to be an actual client of my firm!
