David Scott Dildy

$55,000 and a year later with absolutely nothing accomplished. Never once fought for me. Subjected me to hardships, allowed parental alienation, and continuously yielded to opposing counsel. Never read emails (when he did I was charged with no response), days/weeks/months went by with no response, to...ld me he was overwhelmed with clients, took vacation after vacation, and never wanted to go to court in high conflict divorce. It wasn’t until I met the outstanding and incredible staff at smith strong that we were able to accomplish what should have been done in the first month of David Dildy. Had to start over with new firm. This man’s approach to high conflict divorce is nothing short of appalling. Safe yourself a lifetime of debt, headache, and hardship…avoid David Dildy and invest in a professional with Smith Strong.

I want to share my experience with attorney David Dildy to caution others. When I first met him, he seemed very charismatic and convincing. He made everything sound promising, and I felt like I was in good hands. He even got me into the courtroom quickly, which initially felt reassuring. But once we ...were there, things didn’t feel right. As time went on, it became clear that Mr. Dildy was unreliable. He often made excuses for not getting things done, blaming illness or medication, but the truth was he just didn’t follow through on what he promised. I had to constantly push him to take action, and it was exhausting. One of the biggest issues was with the child support paperwork. He assured me it would be handled quickly, but it took him two months to file anything, and even then, he filed the wrong motion. Instead of filing to request child support, he only filed to amend or stop it. This mistake meant I had to start the process all over again nearly a year later, losing valuable time and support that I needed. What was most disturbing was when my children were in danger. Instead of taking immediate action to protect them, Mr. Dildy gave me a terrible analogy, comparing my situation to sacrificing troops to win a war. He advised me to let things get worse so we’d have a stronger case. As a parent, I was appalled. My children’s well-being should never have been treated like a tactical move in a legal battle. They are not pieces on a chessboard to be sacrificed for a better outcome. Another huge issue was his lack of fight. He was very quick to give in to any demands from the other side and never stood up for my best interests. Because of him, I had to jump through hoops to accommodate things he passively accepted, leaving me frustrated and feeling like I wasn’t being properly defended. I eventually filed a complaint with his firm and got a small refund of about $2,000, but that didn’t come close to making up for the tens of thousands of dollars I wasted on his poor representation. It was only with the help of another law firm that I finally won my case. If you’re considering hiring David Dildy, I strongly advise you to think twice. He may seem convincing at first, but in my experience, he didn’t deliver on his promises and failed to protect my family when it mattered most. Your case deserves an attorney who will genuinely look out for your best interests.

Our daughter was talked into signing a document that gave the father the custody of our granddaughter. He did not tell my daughter she could appeal it within 10 days. He scared her into believing that she would never see her daughter again. He also told us a sad story about how he had foster kids tak...en away. I wouldn't recommend him for dog catcher.

I was a client of Mr, Dildy and I was very dissapointed in his representation of my family member. After I had paid him, he did not return phone calls for this case. I did not hear from him again until the court date. Mr Dildy had no defense for my family member whatsoever. We did not stand a c...hance in court, there was no argument for my family member's defense at all. I would not recommend Mr. Dildy to anyone.
