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.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

David made my uncontested divorce as easy as possible. He kept me informed and took care of all the details. I highly recommend him!

Makes it simple.

David was an incredibly helpful informative straightforward attorney. I came to him in February with what I'd hoped to be an easy uncontested divorce proceeding. He handled everything with me over the phone (although I did understand a face-to-face was possible). He was supportive, asked the right... questions and handled everything great. There were a few funky spots in my divorce (my ex decided not to sign the paperwork which led me to need to serve papers formally to him) but David worked thru the process, explained the potential challenges I could have and kept me well informed. I knocked off a point for 'informed' because with an out of state process service it was confusing as to what happened when.. Regardless, it's now June and the divorce has been finalized. If you are looking for a lawyer to handle a case in a straightforward manner, he is great. Many lawyers would solicit you to put up a bigger fight/suit etc. David understands sometimes a divorce is just a divorce.

Relieved a lot of divorce stress by being so easy!

One of the worst things you can go through is a divorce, and from beginning to end, he made the whole process easy and smooth. I did not have to go to court and we did everything via email and mail. I did not have to see my spouse and that was also a positive because we can't be in the same room. F...or uncontested divorce, he was absolutely the right choice!

Uncontested Divorce

David handled my uncontested divorce case without a flaw. From initial consultation to the final divorce decree, I knew that I was in capable hands. David responded to all of my questions and concerns himself via direct phone conversations. The whole process took only 3 months and everything by me wa...s completed online without having to make a court appearance. If you are going to retain a lawyer, I would recommend David.
