David Gross, the Attorney You Can Trust

I cannot recommend David Gross highly enough. Throughout the challenging 4.5 years of my divorce and custody battle, David was my unwavering support. His prompt responses to my emails, meticulous attention to detail, and clear explanations made every step of the process easier to navigate. Mr. Gross'...s professionalism and ease of working with were truly remarkable. He provided wise advice on all aspects of my case, giving me confidence in every decision. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your case, David Gross is the one to call.

Incredibly Professional and Understanding

Quite simply, I consider it fortunate that David was recommended to us. I firmly believe that no one else could have made the process of our mediation as seamless as David did. From the very beginning, he was accommodating, articulate, highly detailed, and demonstrated an immense knowledge of the law... and how best to achieve our objectives. Even more importantly than this however, is the human aspect. Throughout our mediation, David showed the empathy for what we were dealing with and understanding for all of the emotional ebbs and flows that comes with separation/mediation/divorce. As a value consideration to retaining counsel, I placed that attribute far above any of the others David so frequently displayed, and I am grateful for it. I recommend him without reservation.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David Gross served as the opposing attorney on a complex and somewhat contentious divorce. The parties were very angry and emotional. Things could have spiraled out of control but thanks in large part to David's calm demeanor and excellent skills as a divorce attorney he helped bring the case to an amicable resolution for all parties. As a level headed but fierce advocate, David is an asset not just to his clients but to the matrimonial bar in general."

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.
