Review David Gross

Highly Recommend David

Posted by

I hired David to represent me in negotiating a prenuptial agreement. This was the first time I have hired an attorney for any reason and I was a bit skeptical going into the process, not knowing what to expect. From start to finish, he was very thorough in making sure I understood what each part of the agreement meant and how it could be interpreted under the law. There were a few instances where he advised me what he thought was in my best interest and if I made concessions, as long as he was certain that I understood what I was agreeing to, he respected my decision. He listened to all of my concerns and was very responsive to all of my emails and phone calls, much more than my husband's attorney. He charged a fair fee and I wasn't shocked by the bill at the end, which was a relief. Overall, I had a positive experience with David and I would definitely retain his services again, though hopefully I won't need his services in the future! I would recommend him to friends and family that are looking for a divorce attorney, particularly in prenuptial agreements.

David Gross is a very down to earth lawyer . He explains everything and can get aggressive on your part when he needs to. He explains what is going on in a way that you can understand and will explain his reasoning as well as listen to your concerns at all times. I would certainty recommend him to anyone seeking the unfortunate situation of getting a divorce.

Divorce is definitely not a highlight of one's life. it's a time where you need someone you trust to give you the advice to navigate you through this difficult situation. I can't thank him enough for getting me through this time. I highly recommend him if you are in need of his services.

VERY SATISFIED

Posted by

I was introduced to David from a prior attorney where he felt David would be able to bring a 5 year long, drawn out, procrastinated divorce to a close, and he did just that!! I am happy to say that I am very pleased and satisfied with all aspects in the way David handled my case. He is respectful and sympathetic to all your needs and concerns, very efficient, prompt with responding and takes the extra time to explain all. Most of all, his demeanor brings a sense of calm. My overall experience in working with David and his staff was phenomenal and I highly recommend using him if need be!

Justin Rappaport, Family Attorney on Dec 19, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I heartily endorse David in the fields of family and divorce law. I have worked alongside David in a few matters and have consulted him on numerous other matters. I have consistently found him to be conscientious, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable. Not only will I continue to rely on his expertise in the years ahead, I will also recommend him to any person in need of superlative family or divorce counsel.

Josh Ketover, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 25, 2016
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.

Barry Gross, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 19, 2015
Relationship: Family member
