Alimony case

David helped us with a modification of alimony case. We chose him because he is a very talented and experienced lawyer. His experience showed throughout our case. He understands the law very well and was able to guide us through the process. Just having him as our attorney demonstrated our ability t...o succeed at trial and we were able to obtain a favorable settlement. I would highly recommend him especially if litigation may be involved.

Exceptional Orlando Family Law Attorney

David represented me during a 3+ year case for dissolution of marriage that concluded in August 2022. Our consultations were consistent in setting expectations from the get go for our fact set. He helped me navigate a difficult environment with respect to discovery and through the trial itself. David...'s level of preparation and thorough understanding of case law here was priceless - our results far exceeded what a layman would expect on day one. I cannot thank David and his exceptional staff enough for their care, responsiveness and support during this time.

Roberts Family Law Firm

Mr. David Roberts and his staff at Roberts Family Law are exceptional professionals who represent their clients well. I wholeheartedly recommend Roberts Family Law to anyone needing highly experienced attorneys with efficient and capable staff that will take care of their clients through every step... of the legal process. I was referred to the practice by two friends who were represented by Attorney David Roberts and both had fair and successful settlements. They found Mr. Roberts to have the highest moral and ethical standards while litigating with perseverance, tenacity and expertise. As a client of Mr. Roberts, I found this to be true. Mr. Roberts was attentive and knowledgeable about the details of my case. He expertly applied his knowledge of the law and successfully managed my complex case in a focused and organized way. I appreciated his consideration of my time, returning emails and phone calls promptly. His staff were pleasant and responsive when I needed help. Customer service was valued. His practice took great care to be efficient and cost effective to keep my legal fees as low as possible. Mr. Roberts has an excellent working relationship with a network of experts at his disposal including forensic accountants, vocational experts and specialized attorneys. On staff at Roberts Family Law, is Attorney Shannon Akins, who is an expert in appellate matters and case law with firsthand experience at the US Supreme Court level. If your case involves complex trial litigation like mine, you will want an attorney like Mr. David Roberts, who knows how to use valuable experts and their resources in obtaining a successful and fair judgement. Mr. Roberts and his staff are kind, compassionate people who listen well. In the courtroom, Mr. Roberts was always respectful but also confident and assertive. He consistently used good judgement and always came prepared and ready to protect me. Consequently, he was able to secure for me a fair and successful judgement.

Regret it

I hired Mr. Roberts because of the reviews and at the end of the day, most of the high cost retainer was gone mostly because many emails where lost, had to send information even 4 times for his assistant to act accordingly. The repetitive emails also where frustrating because it seemed that he did no...t get the right information on time. A day before my hearing, I went to the office to get ready and brought more evidence, only to wait in the lobby for 45 minutes after I saw him leave for lunch. Later his assistant had no idea about the status of the case, A Day Before! Tells me that she has not seen anything but only a box containing tons of paperwork. When I asked to see it, it comes exactly as I had turned it in. Perfectly organized and labeled but it had been untouched let alone revised. When in court the next day he seemed very confident and had a good start but the moment where he could have used the powerful evidence to expose the Respondent's lies, Mr. Roberts had nothing. I had asked him to make sure to bring a couple of very important issues and he said there was no need to put it in paper that they will be addressed at court. Never did so needles to say we lost this Contempt over two simple things that were based on lies from the other side! I was forced to go to court again to defend the same case and I still have anxiety episodes thinking that this man took my last $8,000 and did not put his effort or heart on it. Lost my hope in humanity again!
