A True Father’s Rights Attorney
David took my jurisdiction case and knocked it out of the park. Divorce isn’t easy. At the time, I was on active duty Air Force stationed in Biloxi. Divorce was simultaneously filed in Georgia and Mississippi, although I’ve never been a GA resident. Military divorces have key differences in residence...

With Excellence
As I have recently found out, divorce is not easy. Please consider your defense in your own personal divorce. Every marriage is different, every divorce is different, every lawyer is different. I really feel like I picked the best lawyer for my case. I was referred to DMQ by another lawyer....

Knowing Mr. Marple for the past ten years I can honestly say his ability to effectively communicate with the court, representing his client's interests clearly, his knowledge, experience and support, is why I would choose him to represent me. If you want the best, look no further!

Excellent Family Law Attorney
I write this as a client and someone who has referred more than five of my own clients and friends to David over the past 10 years. All would agree with what I am about to say. David has only focused on family law for the past 15 years and also has significant trial experience. Why is this important?...
"I worked with David on a UCCJEA case where a parent absconded to GA from AZ with the parties' minor children. David immediately jumped on the case and knocked it out of the park by winning jurisdiction. He is a fantastic attorney with stellar trial skills and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend David!"
