Trustworthy and competent.

I first needed an attorney for a DUI many years ago and was referred to Mr Sobotka by friends. He handled the case superbly at that time so I called upon his services later when going through a divorce. Once again he handled matters in a highly professional manner that resulted in a just and equitabl...e settlement. I have used his services several times since then because he is trustworthy and very competent. I recently referred my son to him for a matter requiring special treatment and Mt Sobotka referred him to another lawyer with the appropriate expertise. My son's case also settled positively. I thank Mr Sobotka and highly recommend him to others needing expert legal services.

Highly Reputable Attorney

David Sobotka represented me in my DUI case. He made a very difficult time in my life manageable. I felt prepared and informed at every step in the ARD process. Mr. Sobotka answered all my questions and assisted with any concerns I had. He returned phone calls in a timely manner and was always pr...ofessional. I would recommend him to any family and friends with legal concerns in Family Law; it is clear he has decades of knowledge and experience.

Knowledgeable, honest attorney

David Sobotka represented me in my divorce. He was very understanding of the stress that I was under during that difficult time but was always honest and kept me informed as to what was or could transpire throughout the divorce proceedings. He managed to finalize my divorce by corresponding with op...posing counsel, never needing to spend any time in the court room. David did encourage me to pursue child support payments through the Domestic Relations system, but I did not take his advice. Eventually I did get my child support court ordered. Coincidentally, the support obligation that my "ex" was then court ordered to pay, was double the amount he had been paying me. It was too late to recoup the "lost" support money. I should have listened to Attorney Sobotka's advice initially as he always looks out for the best interest of his clients and their children.
