Highly Recommended

Hired David for a very messy custody disagreement. He has always been straight forward and gave honest opinions on the case. He has been able to obtain almost 50/50 for me (father). He doesn't back down and has won court hearings that I thought for sure would of turned out worse. Highly recommen...d him when it comes to family law you wont find better lawyer in Chester County had at many try before him and they all failed to achieve what he has.

Fair and knowledgeable

When I first met with Dave he laid out clear expectations on how things may go. This information proved to be very valuable in the months ahead as we worked towards a solution with a difficult opposing attorney. Davids reputation with other attorneys positively effected the outcome for my case and... ultimately led to a fair settlement for all parties. I do not hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone who needs to consult.

An excellent mediator

David was the mediator for our divorce settlement. He was amazing! Fair, patient, intuitive, empathetic, and professional. My husband and I were both committed to mediation and so appreciated David's ability to break down the process in a way that kept the work of negotiating the details of our ag...reement on track, while still moving us forward.

Best Divorce Lawyer I've ever used

I've seen a lot of lawyers in my day, and I have to say Big Dave is the best I've ever worked with.

A Lawyer that earns respect then keeps it. Would have never thought lawyer and RESPECT could be used in the same sentence

I had 2 other attorney's over a 10 year battle. David was my last, had him for about 3 years. I was very combative - lets but it this way, if he had to write a review about me combative would have been on of the nicer words used.. He never gave up! After we discussed (hours) what he was doing ...and how he was going to handle things. He earned my trust, I knew he was looking out for my best interest both at that time and in the future. He did an amazing job, I am not going to say I got everything I wanted, but he resolved the case, that just would not end, fairly and kept my girls best interest as his first priority!! I wish I had found him at the start of my divorce my bet would be I would have come out of it a hole let less scarred. Not only would I recommend him, I have and will continue to do so.
