David Raymond Mahood

Mr. Mahood worked with me on my child support case and was very helpful. He approached the issues pragmatically and kept me realistically appraised of the potential outcomes. I'll address a few of the traits that I found to truly represent the quality of his work and who you will be dealing with when... you choose his services: Thorough- For anyone who has dealt with family court in the past you understand how important it is to get every detail correct. Mr. Mahood took his time reviewing all documents and ensured that all discovery documents were in good order. At no time did I feel like I was rushed or like he needed to get to his next client. Which is something I've experience from other attorneys in the past. He knew my case in and out, he took the time to get to know my situation and represented me properly. Pragmatic- He approached my problems with a no nonsense attitude that kept expectations realistic. I was always kept informed of possible outcomes and the reasons for them. Mr. Mahood is not going to make false promises, he will also hold you accountable as a client to do the right thing. Hard Working- There comes a crunch time in every case. The week before a case is spent reviewing discover and preparing for cases. Mr. Mahood EXCELS at this part of his profession. When it was time to prepare for the difficult and often stressful occasion of appearing in court, he was available to answer my questions and help me prepare. Understanding- He understands how difficult different people's situations can be and works with them to better that situation. During every dealing I had with Mr. Mahood I felt as if I was dealing with a man of high moral caliber. He clearly feels a moral obligation to help people in need and get them the right outcome. Flexible- Life happens and it is rarely convenient. In my case I live on nearly the other side of the world. I can't imagine trying to overcome the time difference and distance with any other lawyer. Given my work schedule and frequent travel I needed a professional who would be flexible in the unforeseen circumstances of my work and life, Mr. Mahood was able to do that. Knowledgeable- Mr. Mahood's subject matter expertise was second to none. He knows the law, and will fight to ensure your rights are met. Furthermore, he displayed a great deal of judgment in considering how people may react to different pieces of evidence. He seemed to have an impressive ability to read how some things may benefit my case. Mediator- Mr. Mahood was by far the best mediator I've worked with in the five attorneys I've dealt with in my cases. He appraised the situation appropriately and ensured I had no unrealistic expectations. He also helps to keep conversations level-headed and as always fights for the best outcome. Fair- Mr. Mahood treats clients fairly and bills fairly. He treats people decently in a time that can be very stressful. Lastly, I want to say that Mr. Mahood is an honorable man. He wants the best outcome for his client and any child involved. He maintained a high standard of ethics for himself AND for his clients. He is an example to be followed by other professionals in his field.

Was worried because I added my new husband and his son to my health and dental insurance at my job. My new husband's ex-wife said she was going to list me as financially responsible on the doctor/dental bills and if I have negative credit I could lose my clearance causing me to lose my job. David r...eassured me that legally she cannot list me as financially responsible just because I added him to my insurance. It really put my mind at ease.

I found David Mahood by browsing the web for knowledgeable attorneys that handle uncontested divorce cases.

While all court cases are not the same, Mr. Mahood will go above and beyond to lighten the burden on your shoulders and make it as streamlined as possible for you. I never once felt overwhelmed during the process! I'm very pleased at how everything turned out in the end.

I was served with an Ex-parte and didn't know what to do so I waited, for my surprise the judge granted the father his petition to enroll my daughter in his school district and that would mean that eventually my daughter was going to live with her father so I called couple lawyers in the area and I ...get no respond. My close friend knew Mr. Mahood since she lost contact with him from while back, she searched on the net and found Mr. Mahood's email, sent an email. To my surprise, he responded right away. Mr Mahood called her and we started explaining what was going on with my case. Since his office was not located in the State of California, He listened carefully as we talked for couple hours on the phone. After that long talk, he mention that he was willing to review all my court papers that I was served with, helped me with my court's hearing, declaration and do and ex-parte for a affordable flat fee, including the airfare,and the trip's expenses. He flew from Maryland to California and stay for a week to accomplish what we agreed over the phone. Mr Mahood spent large amount of time talking to the other party's attorney, gathering information and the most important thing preparing the response to the father allegations. I really like the way Mr Mahood approched the father's allegations. Mr. Mahood took the time to think and gather thoughts to respond to father's allegation, since the father tried to denigrate me, Mr Mahood made sure that the judge knew the kind and loving mother I was and I am to my daughter, supporting every single thing with proof. The response and declaration were two of the strongest key in this battle. Mr.Mahood has a tremendous capability to think and express one's thoughts in writing. Also Mr Mahood well represented me in court. Because of all the effort and time that he put into my case, we won the case and the judge ruled on my favor this past September 20, 2012. I am extremely happy about the job Mr. Mahood did for me and my family. Now my daughter is where she belongs, with mom. Thank you Mr. Mahood!
