Amazing Lawyer

Absolutely knowledgeable and was willing to fight for anything I wanted. Walked me through every step and reassured me throughout the case. Very good person and the only Family law attorney I would ever recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything David.

Custody and Child Support Family Law Case. Satisfied and Grateful

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 reduc...ed 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.

More Than Professional

Mr. Ristoff represented my son in a particularly ugly divorce case. He was professional, caring, intelligent and above all - available. As a family rallying around my son, David responded to all my questions with respect and never once did I feel I was a hinderance or bother anytime I presented with ...my son either in court or in his office. His communication style is direct and detailed. He listened to our endless list of legal questions and concerns and took the time to explain the legal system and what were the best steps for my son to take in order to obtain a favorable outcome for my son and my grandchildren. Consequently, my son retained custody of my grandchildren and obtained divorce terms they all could live with. His demeanor in the courtroom was impressive. I would recommend David wholeheartedly to anyone who needs legal representation from an attorney with integrity, compassion, and a good grasp of the law. I would encourage contacting him if ever you are in need of legal counsel.

An honest, intelligent attorney

I had a rough start with my case and after two terrible, dishonest attorney's who only cared about racking up hours on my expense I met David and Paul Bowen. David demonstrated amazing diligence, worked well beyond bankers hours to ensure the job got done. He was thorough and always available to com...municate regarding our case. He also genuinely cared which made me as his client feel like they were as invested as I was. With so many attorney's to chose from, you need to do your research and ensure you get an honest, hardworking attorney. When it comes to family law, Paul Bowen and David Ristoff are Alphas.
