A Very Good Lawyer

Suddenly in need of a divorce lawyer after over 25 years of marriage is not a position I ever wanted to find myself in. Luckily I found David. I was not at all sure what my expectations should be heading in to the divorce but he explained to me what he considered to be a fair and equitable result and... despite some unexpected obstacles he was able to deliver that result. It was very important to me that the divorce be amicable if at all possible. David was sensitive to that as well being mindful of my limited finances. I'm very pleased with how he handled my case from start to finish.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Thomson was extremely knowledgeable, during our consultation he already had a plan and laid out his proactive approach. He did a great job of easing my emotions and prepared me for the hearing. David always responded to my questions and concerns. Even throughout the entire process of prepar...ing for the hearing he always had a positive attitude and never once did I feel like we were not going to attain what we were seeking. I highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable, dependable and fair

The story of my divorce would make a great Lifetime Movie. Despite all of the twists and turns, I remained steadfast in my top priority, the safety and well-being of my child. For me the choice was clear, either I would find an attorney who could help me obtain sole custody or I would remain in a t...errible situation in order to provide my child with the protection that was necessary. David Thomson was the third attorney that I interviewed for the job. The first attorney only offered a cookie cutter approach telling me, "This is just the way it is. There's nothing you can do about it." With the second, I spent the majority of my time with his paralegal. From day one, David was hands-on and sensitive to my priorities. He also gave me something the previous two had not...hope. Not unrealistic expectations but hope. David is a class act and well respected in his field which was an advantage when interacting with opposing counsel and our assigned judge. His lengthy experience also means that he knows the playbook of other attorneys in the area and can prepare his clients accordingly. I feel like he respected my input, had my best interests at heart and treated me fairly in terms of his fee. David and I worked as a team and were successful in achieving my desired outcome. I am forever grateful for his help and expertise. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.
