I had a long time problem with a timeshare and did'nt know how to act and was worried about it. David Woodwards answered all my questions with care and and wrote in a way I could clealy understand. I just want to thank him and any time I need a lawyer in Florida I will contact him.
I contacted David through AVVO and was so pleased I did.
He helped me with a foreclosure. I am not a US resident so was unsure of the procedures.
David explained everything to me, helped me understand each step and led me to an acceptable outcome.
His knowledge of international matters was very reassuring.
I would wholeheartedly recommend David.

FAMILY LAW
My wife and I hired Mr. Woodward to represent our interest in the welfare of our grandchild. Mr. Woodward was patient, spent time explaining the legal options and then represented our son in this paternity issue. We as grandparents and our son are very pleased with the way Mr. Woodward handled the case and were impressed with his knowledge of the law. We received a favorable result from the court.

The Best
Experience and knowledge is tops. Mr. Woodward will take on any challenge, but will advise as the every consequence. He has represented me against the state of Florida and Wachovia Bank.
I highly recommend this attorney.

European based international entrepreneur
Dave is in a class of his own. He is a highly qualified and experienced domestic and international lawyer that provides personalised boutique style services that one would normally find in a New York or London based firm, at treble the rate and half the service.
I discovered him through the alumni association of The London School of Economics, where he read an LLM circa 1980's and I read a BSc and MSc circa 1990's. Anyone conducting domestic, transnational, or international business would be in very capable hands with Dave. He has astutely represented either myself or my family's interests in both the US and EU (often simultaneously) and I am very confient recommending his services.

Thief
Came to my house to assist in a case. Required $1000.00, said he would send a receipt and in 45 days the claim would be settled. Never got the receipt and the case was never filed. Many attempts were made through the phone and e-mail and no response. Never pay this lawyer up front
Response from David WoodwardJune 18, 2017
Client's case was more involved than usual requiring more time than he anticipated. At the end of the day he expressed satisfaction with the result, and has since recommended me to others. I think his actions may speak louder than his words.
