He only cares about the money

If you’re looking for an attorney who doesn’t care what you want and only cares about the money then hire David Bice. He was probably the worse lawyer I could have picked but in my emotional time I just went for the first person I found unfortunately. He was never fully paying attention to me and des...pite telling him the ONLY thing I cared about was my son during my divorce he kept trying to take me down unnecessary avenues. He was not punctual at all and several times it would be weeks to months before he would respond to my email or calls. I felt more like I worked for him instead of him working for me. In the end my divorce cost me over $25k when it should have been half that if he didn’t nickel and dime me. When I switched to a new lawyer for further matters, he took one look at our custody agreement and asked why my lawyer ever agreed to half the stuff in it. I regret ever going with David and highly recommend NOT going with him unless you just don’t care what happens.

Great Attorney

We hired Mr. Bice to represent us in a difficult custody hearing of our granddaughter. He was very honest in telling us the situation may not go in our favor due to us being grandparents. However, during the process, Mr Bice not only bought out circumstances in our favor but fought for us all the w...ay. He encouraged us to do everything the court requested and he even stayed in contact with DSS and CASA representatives. He attended all meetings with us as our attorney, kept us up-to-date with any changes to the case, and returned phone calls in a prompt manner. The bottom line is that Mr. Bice did get us physical and legal custody of our granddaughter. We cannot begin to thank him for his excellent service during our time of upheaval. His court room demeanor was outstanding and the judge listened to what he presented. Even though there were a few hiccups in the beginning with how some individuals viewed us as the grandparents, Mr. Bice was able to put all their minds to rest and know our granddaughter would be taken care of and loved forever. We would hire Mr. Bice again and I'm sure we will be needing his services in the future. Thank goodness there are lawyers like Mr. Bice that you can count on in difficult situations.

Child custody

I retained David Bice for my custody case for my son. My son at the time of retaining Bice was 12 yrs old. I am the father going for custody of my son and needed a very good lawyer to get the job done! Bice told me in the beginning he felt good about the case, he understood the issues and how sever...e the living arrangement had got with my son while in the care of his mother. Bice stayed on top of things working up to the court date. Bice fought tooth and nail to get my son! He didn’t back off the defendants lawyer!! David Bice got the defendant and her lawyer to roll over the day before court!!! I got physical custody and my son primarily lives with me now!!!! I had a previous experience with another lawyer trying for custody... when I retained David Bice, he was a breath of fresh air! His team is awesome!! Anytime I needed information or questions answered about our case , I always got it in a timely manner. No delay at all. I would strongly recommend David Bice! He can get the job done!

Not just a great lawyer, a great man

From the moment we hired David we felt like we made the right decision. He was very clear and up front about the process we were about to go through. His staff, DJ, Deedee and Travis made us feel like family. As a father who lives out of state, I knew I had a battle ahead of me. David and his staff w...ere very professional and had open communication throughout the entire ordeal. I highly recommend you hire him!

Best Lawyer in South West Virginia

A divorce/custody battle is one of the hardest things I have ever been through. A friend had used David for a custody case and strongly recommend him. I'm sure glad I took my friends advice. Mr.Bice was always knowledgeable, caring, and understanding. I was very appreciative of David's preparation be...fore trial. David presented evidence and exhibits. He didn't mudsling. Believe me its nice to have facts and at the end of the day NOT hear the judge say "I see smoke but no fire" (this has happened to me). The staff at Mr.Bice's office our top notch as well. Always polite and understanding. Best Attorney South West Virginia!
