Very helpful
David was a very thorough mediator. He made sure that everything was understood and followed up on every point. Even after the papers were signed David made sure to connect and find out if anything was left open.
Nick, thank you for allowing me to help the two of you reach an agreement that worked for both of you. It was a pleasure mediating with you!
"I endorse this lawyer. I have served as opposing counsel with him on multiple prenuptial agreement matters. In each case, David was prepared, responsive, and focused on moving the matter forward without unnecessary delay. His drafting was clear, he negotiated in good faith, and he maintained a professional demeanor throughout. Even when our clients’ positions were far apart, he handled the discussions respectfully and worked toward practical resolutions. Based on my experience, David is a competent practitioner who represents his clients effectively and treats opposing counsel professionally."
"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."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is an incredibly bright, articulate and honorable attorney. He fights hard for his clients and succeeds in obtaining excellent results for them."
"David Gross is an excellent advocate for his clients. He is intelligent and extremely ethical. I highly endorse David Gross."
