Posted by anonymous | February 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Paternity and Child Custody

David handled my paternity and child custody case. While some lawyers may be inclined to give their clients an impression that total victory is at hand (provided the checks keep coming), David doesn't work this way. David provided a sober, realistic assessment of what the chances of prevailing in my ...case were, options that were available, and suggested the best strategy for moving forward. The strategy that he put together was not based on the balance of my liquid assets, rather it was based upon the true, clear factors in my case. David's office handled everything in my case and did a great job keeping me at ease. His rates are very reasonable and fair. There are a lot of lawyers out there that will talk a big game when it comes to family law. It's a great way to separate an emotional parent from their money. David is NOT one of them - he's one of the good guys. His experience, skill, and demeanor is well worth investing in during what is, for most people, the most stressful time of their lives.

Identity Theft/Credit Card

This lawyer followed through on everything that he stated to us at the first interview we had. He kept us well informed and contacted us when we needed to be aware of what was going on. He was straight forward about everything which allowed us to make the correct choices.

very helpful, couple times on the phone and he helped me in a consumer case with lumber liquidators pushing defective material m

I just had a brief time with Mr. Gruskin, and I was very impressed with him taking the time to help me out. First impression was an honest attorney, not just out for himself. I would recommend him to my friends.
