David S. Sobotka

Mr. Sobotka and his secretaries Liz & Megan and assistant Tim Bietler stood by me in one of the most difficult times in my life, trying to get custody of my son. The are caring and compassionate and continued to be that way not only during the period I had worked with them but continue to be even tho...ugh the case has come to fruition. Mr. Sobotka came highly recommended and with each passing day as my case continued I found out why. He set guidelines for me which I followed and took each amount of advice he shared with me. He was very truthful and honest with me which I really appreciated and I feel assisted tremendously with the positive outcome I received. Each time I contacted him he was always there with either a phone call, a note, or a brief meeting which made me feel comfortable at all times. Many times I feel he and his staff went above and beyond their usual protocol which allows me to pass along that this is the attorney to have for any case if you want the most "bang for your buck" and the most positive results for whatever problem you need attended to. I recommend David S. Sobotka and his staff to anyone who needs a lawyer because they will work for YOU honestly with no nonsense and results that will be in your favor.

Never work with attorney, I agree whole heartedly with the rest of the reviewers here. He is one of the worst divorce attorney's around. I will not go into all the details, they would fill a book, but I will just say this he takes your money and does nothing to help you and I agree that he works wi...th the other sides attorney to have your case drag on and on so he can bill you enourmous amounts of money!!! Don't ever hire this guy, unless you like to be cheated. I had a Real Estate Lawyer in Berks, tell me that all Divorce Lawyers are terrible, but he said this guy makes the rest look like angels!

First of all, let me say that I had Mr. Sobotka handle my son's estate. In a very difficult time, he took care of everything most efficiently and thoroughly. Secondly, I worked as Mr. Sobotka's paralegal for over 20 years. I can honestly and truthfully say that he gave every client his utmost sk...ill and expertise. His first concern was to get his client the best possible result. His second concern was to do it in the most efficient manner. Any one who has had any dealings in the legal community knows that this is not always possible depending on your client, the opposing party,and, in particular, the opposing party's attorney. I have seen opposing party's and their attorneys fight over frying pans in divorce proceedings, and barrettes and haircuts in custody proceedings. Some people will not compromise and there is nothing for your attorney do in that case. I have never known Mr. Sobotka to ever prolong a case to obtain additional fees. He is way too busy to prolong a case in order to obtain fees. I always felt that he wanted to resolve the case in the best interest of the client in a most timely manner. I say this unequivocally. Occasionally, Mr. Sobotka would not get back to a client as soon as a client may think he should have. It was my experience that in the majority of cases, it was because he was in trial or was extraordinarily busy with depositions, etc. But he did respond as soon as he could. After reading some of these responses, I was absolutely astounded. I retired from Mr. Sobotka's service in June of 2013. And I can honestly and truthfully say that he was a conscientious attorney. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable and was always concerned with his clients' best interests . I never knew him to be inappropriate at any time with clients. Believe me - I know he wasn't perfect (coming from an employee's point of view), but I would never, ever hesitate to recommend him to anyone for divorce/custody/support or estate matters.

I'm a guy that had the worst possible scenario - I worked full time and my ex was a stay at home mom. After separation I got to see my kids only for six hours two days a week and no overnights, because that is what my ex decided was appropriate. My attorney at the time did nothing to help my case and... in fact kept telling me that because of my situation the court likely won't give me any more time, and that I should accept the fact that I can't see my kids. Well after firing him and going through one more attorney that told me more or less the same thing, I wasn't about to give up. Mr Sobotka's name came up several times from different people and I decided to give him a try. And yes we were in court a lot, but I now have my kids 50% of the time and I couldn't say enough good things about Mr Sobotka. He was always professional, knowledgeable, always handled my concerns in a timely fashion, had a good reputation in court, and his prices were probably a quarter of my previous attorneys' prices. Not to mention that his results speak for themselves. I would recommend him to anyone needing a divorce/custody attorney.
