ongoing divorce case

Here it is, my first ever review. I have been working with David now since July when I filed for divorce, and I feel I owe him a thanks. I have had many questions and David has always responded in a timely fashion. We tried mediation and he was as good as I could ask for considering my spouse is a... very difficult, unfair, and greedy person. During mediation he worked out a fair agreement but was later not excepted by her family. Now they want more and we are going to court. I feel with David as my counsel we will prevail in the end, and with David's experience and knowledge he will be able to present a case to the judge that will result in a fair and reasonable arraingement.

Smooth Process- Thank you!

Thank you David Lawler for your professionalism and guidance during a difficult and stressful time. You always responded quickly and thoroughly- not to forget, talking through my questions, even when I was stubborn (ha) - you never left me wondering the next step. I appreciate all of your legal advic...e and yes counseling :) Thank you!!! I recommend David Lawler if you are needing representation.

Best lawyer I’ve ever used

I don’t normally take the time to write a review but I felt very strongly about doing this. Lawyers get such bad reviews all the time I was so happy friend of mine recommended Mr. Lawler to me. He’s a great guy That knows his profession and really cares.

Great responsive and knowledgeable lawyer

I have consulted with David Lawler numerous times on legal matters and found him to be one the most responsive and knowledgeable lawyers in the area. He familiarized me with the proceedings of small claims court and offered sound advice. I did exactly what he said and my situation turned favorable ...to me. He is my go to guy in Georgia and I will not seek any other advice. I have recommended him to numerous people.

Look No Further!! Hire him!!

Attorney Lawler was referred to me by a friend that he had represented during her divorce case. She told me that he was very reasonable, she had an extremely positive experience with him, and that he was a bulldog in the courtroom. Her words do not do him justice. He has been generous, responsive,... highly professional, sympathetic, supportive, and understanding during a divorce with an abusive, manipulative, vindictive, mean-spirited, and spiteful pathological liar and his equally nasty family. I have suffered extreme stress and anxiety as the other side has been relentlessly trying to destroy and intimidate me in a highly contested and emotional divorce. I have always felt that he actually cares about me as a person, and understands my unique situation, he has never treated me as "just another client". He has fought hard for my interests tirelessly, and I have peace of mind knowing my case is in good hands. He stood by me during my "darkest hour". I strongly recommend him for any divorce needs you may have now or in the future. He has the knowledge, experience, and perseverance you are looking for.
