Elite Family Law Attorney!

I highly recommend Mr. David Robert and the legal team! They provided a high level of experience, professionalism, excellent court hearing presentation, preparation, communication, focused on the overall well-being of the children, negotiations with opposing counsel, compassionate and the understandi...ng during a very complex / highly contested divorce. They working diligently and were very straightforward about the court process and the court options.

Best family lawyer

Mr. Robert really help me out in my case he fought for all fairness I’ve had a rocky road with the mother of my child and kept losing time with my child but Mr. Robert came into my life and made sure he fought hard for what I wanted. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend him and his team he’s highly profes...sional and fights righteous for what you want I can’t thank him enough for what he did for my family. He never gave me any false hope he was very honest with me from the very beginning of what to expect. He was attentive to my needs. His team is just as amazing especially Lauren always answer my question was very patient and quick to respond to what I needed.

Amazing Team

I walked into the firm scared, I felt defeated and wondered if my children and I would ever be free. My case was complicated with so many hurdles to overcome. Custody and relocation to name a few. I met with David and I knew he was who I wanted to fight for us. The fight was a long one but, David and... his team stood by me though it and fought hard. We won, and now we are moving forward in our new life.

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.

David, Lauren, Ben, and Elis are the best!

I stupidly used previous other attorneys and I was an idiot. I had David for my divorce and he was killer. I thought the law was on my side with custody and went with a referral from my mom. Biggest mistake of mine amp my son’s life. David is and will always be my attorney. Lauren, Ben, and Elis are ...equally invested in my case. I can’t say enough. They are saving my son’s life.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
