Best Family Law practice in Orlando

I hired Dave and his firm to represent me in my family law case and from day 1, Dave and his team made me feel extremely comfortable and put my mind at ease with multiple issues I was having with my case. He was very empathetic with my needs and provided me the best council I could have asked for. I ...would highly recommend Davids Family Law to anyone in need of great representation with their case.

Divorce Case

The Firm of David Roberts represented me in my divorce case. I found Mr. Roberts was a very competent and experienced lawyer. I was very happy and satisfied with the way my case was finally resolved. When Mr. Roberts was not immediately available to discuss an issue I talked with his paralegal, Ms. D...oreen Valentin, who handled the issue efficiently. Ms. Valentin is the nicest person anyone will ever meet.

Hire David Roberts if you want to win!

If you want your expectations lowered go meet with many of the other lawyers out there but if you want to formulate a plan to fight for what you believe in, then hire David Roberts. After deciding to fire my first lawyer, I met with many others before hiring David Roberts. My case was a divorce a...fter 11 years of marriage and 2 kids. As an active Father, my goal was to keep my kids 80% of the time and pay no alimony based on the fact that my wife had her own career, retirement plan and health insurance. I kept being told by all the other lawyers I met with that I needed to lower my expectations. They kept telling me there was no way I would get more than 50% with my kids and I would have to pay alimony because I made almost 3 times as much as my wife. When I met with Mr. Roberts he told me that it would be very hard to get what I wanted and that we would need to formulate a plan to try and make it work. Mr Roberts put together a case plan we followed it and we won! When the case was over I got my kids 80% and I paid no alimony. We also settled in mediation without an expensive and lengthy trial. Doreen Valentin, Mr Roberts’s legal aid was absolutely the best! She made sure I got through all the paperwork and kept all the pleadings and filings organized in a cloud file for easy review. The billing was fair and accurate and when the case was over I even received small refund on the remainder of the retainer.

Exceptionally skillful team

The team at Roberts Family law achieved an ideal divorce settlement on my behalf. I am so thankful for their support and expertise, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Mr. Roberts team was compassionate, supportive, and professional. Mr. Roberts is extremely knowledgeable, and a skillful ...negotiator. While Mr. Robert’s team was always kind and supportive, they aggressively pursued and consistently worked towards achieving my goals. The Roberts Law Firm staff always freely answered any questions and concerns I had throughout the process, putting my mind at ease. They fulfilled my goals and exceeded my expectations, and have brought me the most valuable gift, peace of mind. Doreen, (my paralegal) was exceptional throughout the divorce process. Doreen is the most efficient, courteous, kind, professional team member. I am so thankful to have had her support and assistance navigating this daunting landscape. If you find you may be in need of legal representation in your divorce, I highly recommend the Roberts Family Law Firm.

Divorce Case

My recent experience with David Roberts and his staff has been exceptional. The initial phone consultation with David provided me with guidance to prepare for my situation. Lauren, the paralegal, has been great to work with. The entire staff has been very patient and helpful with the documentation... and communication process. As soon as I was ready to pick up my pace, the practice was more than equally prepared to respond and proceed effectively. David made the mediation experience effortless. I highly recommend The Roberts Family Law Firm, backed by knowledge, experience, and professionalism, for a divorce case.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
