You're Blessed to have Mr Gagne by your side

I was truly blessed to have Mr Gagne by my side numerous times in court. Mr Gagne has represented me in my custody case since early 2015. He's always professional, well prepared, and knowledgeable. I've had another lawyer prior to meeting Mr Gagne who overcharged me for review meetings and could... never remember the details of my case. Mr Gagne was the complete opposite. He knew my case and our prep meetings were concise and completed timely. We could communicate openly /frankly and he ensured we had every detail covered before court. In the courtroom, he was attentive to all testimony which allowed small key pieces not to be missed or overlooked that were crucial in the positive outcome of my case. Mr Gagne is well prepared, professional and organized. I highly recommend his services and know that I would never want a different lawyer representing me. His service is invaluable and I am grateful that he was recommended to me.

Outstanding Attorney

David Gagne came highly recommended to me by both my previous attorney and a former client. I needed an attorney to represent me with my divorce, custody and PFA. My original attorney retired and when I first contacted David, I had a very important pending hearing date coming up within 2 weeks. David... came through and was at that hearing to represent me and I was so relieved and highly impressed. He made me feel that I was in the hands of a professional and erased the mountain of worries and anxiety that I had. It was the first time in a long time that I had felt protected and that he truly cared. I have no doubts that my situation was a challenge and David handle it all with the ease and confidence of a seasoned professional. He presence in the courtroom is just outstanding. David always explains what he is going to do and why. I always leave court proceedings feeling confident and assured that I am always in good hands with David. Words can't explain the weight that has been lifted since I first walked into his office and retained David Gange as my attorney. I will always be truly grateful for the time, energy and thoughtfulness that David has shown for my child and myself. I cannot recommend his services enough. He is an outstanding attorney who cares about his clients and alway delivers.

Outstanding family law lawyer

I have known David for nearly 20 years. He is one of the best family law lawyers in the State of Delaware. He is prompt; courteous; and outstanding in the courtroom. I would highly recommend David to anyone who needs a family law lawyer.

My opinion of David C Gagne

I would highly recommend David C Gagne of "Woloshin, Lynch,Natalie & Gagne". He was referred to me by a friend, & represented me in a divorce matter. He was always kind to me, & took a genuine interest in my case. He is VERY knowledgeable about the laws in Delaware, he also prepares intensely for ...trail & leaves no stone unturned. Through his diligence,persistence,& skill he was able to have a favorable outcome returned to me on my case. In addition his office staff is very personable & professional.& his para-legal team never missed a beat & all of my paperwork was done perfectly,on time, & with no errors. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" defiantly holds true in my case. Initially I had thoughts of "shopping around" for lower priced representation, & I'm glad I didn't! This was the first time I retained a " Good lawyer" & it is a great feeling of relief to show up in court with the "big guns" on your side. Highly recommended!
