Posted by Shanon | September 26, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

He is not honest. Don’t care about you.

He was hired and damaged all my cases. He was representing opposing side interests. Be aware when you hire him, he will negotiate with opposing side attorney and will lie to you how he can fight then you will find that you are guilty in things you never did. He is a best friend of attorney Philip Bak...er and my husband hired Philip and I hired David, Philip negotiated with David to damage all my cases. I requested David to return my payments, my husband already stole all my savings and my child savings, we stayed in a hunger 4 months. I don’t have much money to hire Attorney, I’m stage 4 cancer patient, David knew I’m sick woman with a child, but he never felt sorry for his service and refused to return money. He didn’t defend me in the court, he knew that it was false charges but he helped my husband to make me guilty. Also he was forcing me to sell my Mom’s house so he can have more money for his service. Be aware when you hire him, check if he is a friend of opposing side. He is not honest.

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.

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!

Experience and professionalism when it matters

I've been working with David since 2015 for custody, visitation, and child support. As the father, things didn't always go my way in the courts, but David provided the guidance that only an experience attorney can provide. He has reminded me that custody isn't a sprint but a marathon. Thanks to his a...dvice and professional service, every time I have gone to court I have gained more and more. I now have joint legal and physical custody of my son and I live 1200 mi away from other party! As a father fighting for custody, this is a big deal. We are on the cusp of getting full custody and it is thanks to David's guidance and knowledge of Virginia family law. I read the reviews before I hired David and when I read some of the negative ones, I question what their expectations were. If you expect everything to go your way every time then you're going to be disappointed. David has no control of how the courts rule, he can only present the information and make the arguments. His courtroom experience is one of the best. He has provided me great service. He returns my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Is it immediately, no, but he does return phone calls or emails (usually same day). His office staff are professional and know my case personally, which I appreciate. He is a busy attorney as most good attorneys are, but he keeps me updated on my case pretty much weekly. I have been very happy with his competence in the court room. He has a knack of getting my ex to show her colors during the trials which helped the judges see her true intentions of being a gold digger isolating my son from me. He has represented me against this B*&ch for almost two years now and I have stayed with him for a reason, he is a good attorney and a true friend. This is what you need on your side for the 18 year marathon. If you listen to him he will steer you to where you need to be.
