      Review David Gagne

      Superb Attorney

      Posted by

      David is a professional and brilliant attorney! He's sharp and effective. He has both the experience and legal knowledge. He represented me, and handled my case with the utmost care and respect. Dave gave me clear guidance and protected me, every step of the way, while answering my many questions. You can count on Dave for excellent legal advice and superb representation. Dave was readily available, and always on top of my case. He is a first rate attorney, trustworthy, knowledgeable, ethical, and truly works for you, for the best desired outcome. I highly recommend David Gagne and the GDWG Law Firm. Also, I had many dealings with other personnel within the CDWG Law Firm. Everyone was nice, courteous and professional. Great law firm!

      David Gagne is the Best!

      Posted by

      I’m a lawyer in Delaware, so I know Delaware lawyers. David is a premiere attorney, who is well-respected by the Family Court judges and other divorce and family-law practitioners. David’s experience and abilities offered me a huge advantage because my ex-spouse’s lawyer knew that we could litigate effectively, if necessary, thereby driving a settlement that avoided the costs (financial and emotional) to my family and children. Professionally, he is the best in this practice area. Nobody likes divorce, but if you need a lawyer who can help you through an always-difficult period in your life, pick David. You will not regret it.

      Great attorney, great person

      Posted by

      David Gagne represented me during a lengthy divorce that was made even more difficult by a previous attorney’s mistakes. Mr. Gagne stepped in with the confidence, knowledge and attitude that made me feel that I finally had the right person on my team. He was tough, persistent and very supportive. David managed to get a very difficult ex and his motion happy attorney under control quickly. No doubt my ex’s attorney respected who she was dealing with because the nonsense stopped immediately! He understands the financial and emotional toll divorce can take and leaves no doubt he is solidly in his client’s corner. His confidence and knowledge gave me the strength and peace of mind I needed to get thru a difficult time. He took a mess and turned it around. Quite simply he exceeds expectations and delivers! Thankful and very grateful to have had him on my case.

      I was grateful to have Mr. Gagne represent me through a prolonged and contentious divorce. Having to go to trial was intimidating and risky. Mr. Gagne's depth of knowledge of the law coupled with years and years of divorce case experience gave me a sense of calm and security. But it was his work in the courtroom that was most impressive. Thanks to his preparedness and assertive tack, my decision from the court was considerable! I highly recommend Mr. Gagne.

      Highly Effective with a Solid Team

      If you are unfortunate enough to be facing a potentially ugly divorce, you need to get the best attorney you can find. Mr. Gagne was recommended to me by another attorney. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and effective. I am glad I chose him to represent and pilot me through a very lengthy and unfamiliar process. I would highly recommend David Gagne.

      Exceptional at what he does

      Posted by

      Mr. Gagne did an excellent job in my case. He was always responsive to text, emails and calls. He was able to get everything settled out of court with a very favorable outcome. Have recommended him to family members and friends, for which he has done the same. Top end attorney.

      Smart AND tough (when you need him to be)!

      Posted by

      David Gagne is a force to be reckoned with. I went through a very ugly divorce that unfortunately went into litigation. I needed a lawyer that knew the DE code, all case law, and had a strong personality to deal with my Ex and his attorney. The situation was lengthy, convoluted, detailed, and very difficult. David easily and respectfully handled all the legal aspects, as well as the emotional rollercoaster that I was going through. He and his staff were very responsive and “there” for me every minute. It’s all finally over and I’m VERY happy with the results. If you need a bad-ass, smart, strategic, and compassionate lawyer, David’s your guy!!!

      The bulldog of the courtroom!!!

      Posted by

      Mr. Gagne is a force to be reckoned with! His is amazing in court. We were going thru one of the worst custody battles and in one of our darkest hours. Mr. Gagne brought my family and I to the light again! His partners along with his office staff really helped thru this trying time. When they weren't inundated with paperwork they were a great sounding board. Mr. Gagne was prepared for every possible situation that could potentially arise. Which was a great comfort throughout this case. We truly call him and his office The Dream Team and would recommend him to anyone who deeply cares for their child as I did! He is amazing!!!

      Mr. Gagne was my attorney for my divorce and custody agreement as well as many subsequent filings in family court by my ex. He is professional, knowledgeable and experienced in family court. If you need excellent representation, he is the attorney to have on your side.
