"I have known David DeVane for approximately 25 years. He and I have represented clients on opposite sides of legal disputes in family court. He is well respected in the community for his legal knowledge and ability, as well as his ethical standards. I would not only recommend him to anyone needing legal services, but would retain him to represent me in a similar situation."
