Posted by Gilda | September 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best Divorce Lawyer In Town

It was a pleasure to have David Korteling as my lawyer for my divorce. Given how much an emotional toll a separation from a spouse (especially when you have young children) can be, he made the experience as smooth and seamless as possible. Mr. Korteling is not just a great lawyer – he is a counselo...r at heart. I appreciate his gentle “bed side” manner that is rare amongst lawyers I have known, only to be matched by his razor sharp intelligence and case strategy. Again, I cannot emphasize what a pleasure it was to have Mr. Korteling by my side.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
