Excellent

Posted by anonymousThu Feb 21 2019

David help us intervene in a dependency case and request custody of a relative. He is knowledgeable, straightforward and caring. We were successful in gaining full custody due to his expertise. We had a best case scenario outcome.

David Pace review

Posted by Dexter Mon Jan 07 2019

I really appreciate the one on one consulting. The expertise in what to expect from the judge. The cost was a little bit more than I anticipated but I got basically what I asked for.
