Review David Budd

Professional and Approachable

Posted by NickWed Feb 07 2018

I hired David Budd to represent me in a divorce case and ended up needing his services for child support/custody issues as well. I should note, I started with another attorney but I'm glad I found Mr. Budd because my case was going nowhere before he came on board. Mr. Budd was very matter-of-fact during our consultation and, unlike other lawyers I've encountered, he doesn't hedge all his responses or rely on legalese - he just cut to the chase and got to work on my case. Within 2 months my divorce was FINALLY done, and this was no easy task as he was dealing with a very difficult opposing lawyer and opposing party. I have continued to use his services to address multiple issues that have come up since and he has helped to make a very stressful situation manageable. I trust Mr. Budd and his paralegal, Tonya, to understand and resolve my legal problems while keeping costs reasonable. I have already recommended Mr. Budd to others and would definitely hire him again.

Amazing lawyer

Posted by AmyThu Sep 15 2016

I hired Mr. Budd for a child custody case. He was upfront and honest about what we could use and couldn't use for this case. He would give great legal advise. While in the courtroom he nailed every piece of evidence that would be beneficial to my case. If you are looking for a lawyer I highly recommend Mr. Budd. Thank you so much David!

I endorse this lawyer. David is honest, competent, professional and pleasant. He brings a demeanor to the practice of law that really helps him succeed. My impression is that he is effective with jury's because he is trustworthy and likable. When we do business, I don't have to worry about wasting a client's time and money chasing rabbits. David always gets down to business with me in a way that does the most good and the least harm.
