Review David Ristoff

Can't say thank you enough!

Posted by

David was recommended to me by one of his clients and I am so happy that I hired him to represent me in my divorce case. David made sure that he was always available to answer any of my questions as my case was difficult and time-consuming. David was very patient and understanding and also handled my case with ease and confidence I sincerely appreciate everything he has done for me and I highly recommend him to represent you. He is a great guy! Grandslam David! Thank you so much again for everything! Sincerely, Giovanni Reho

Custody and Child Support Family Law Case. Satisfied and Grateful

Posted by

Custody and Child Support Family Law Case. Satisfied and Grateful Single Father. David was recommended by a friend. He was a complete 180 from a previous council to handle my Family Law Case A true and fair,”Go-getter.” Easy to get a hold of. Under Ristoff’s council my child support was reduced to a fair amount (previous council could not get this done in 5 years) as I was led through my Custody Case for custody of my son. I had a clear and concise understanding of what was going on at all times. I couldn’t be happier with the result which ultimately resulted in the courts favoring myself the father custody of my son and child support payments.
