STAY AWAY-Do not waste time, energy, and money hire Smith Strong

$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.

Great lawyer

My husband and I hired Mr. Didly three years and every year we won. I hired Mr. Dildy again for the fourth time, due to the child's mom still not complying with the court order. That's when Mr. Dildy said we are going for custody, not knowing Mr. D’s strategy, we worrying, lordy I was. Once Mr. Dil...dy gets into the courtroom he is in a winning zone. We won our custody battle case, thanks to Mr. DILDY and the wonderful friendly staff at Weisberg & Weisberg law firm. To anyone that may be reading this review be patient, comply with the court order, write down the evidence if the other parties not complying with the court order, and try to get along with the other parties that are involved. It helps the child in many ways. A custody case is a very sensitive, draining, and overwhelming case for everyone who’s involved especially the child. I know this was a long review but it was well worth writing and hoping I can help someone else make the right decision in finding the right lawyer to represent them well in the courtroom. Will I hire Mr. D again? Yessssss I WILL!
