Wonderful attorney

I have been a client of David McArtor and office for 3 years for custody matters. I can not say enough about him and his office staff, especially Jess. She was always bright, understanding, easy to talk to! David ALWAYS made me feel comfortable and confident in the decisions I was making from the in...itial consultation to the final resolution. He is excellent with communicating, being transparent, and ALWAYS ensuring that my rights as a parent were protected and that the best interests of my children were always prioritized. He truly took my case to heart. David and his staff treated me fairly and made sure that I understood everything that was happening in my case. He and the whole team were very knowledgeable, supportive, responsive, proactive, patient, hardworking, courteous, organized, demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication.Their thorough understanding of family law and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. They kept me informed every step of the way, promptly, addressed any concerns I had, and consistently advocated on my behalf. David always made me feel HEARD, as so many attorneys out there are only concerned about money! David is definitely NOT one of them! Walking into the office as a scared single mother of 4 children, David and his staff were very welcoming and now have become part of my family! I would not have trusted anyone else with my case! 1000% highly recommend David and his whole team to anyone in need of legal representation for custody and child support matters. Their expertise and professionalism truly made a difference in my case, and I am grateful for their outstanding service

Former client

I retained David Mcartor on a civil matter against my ex husband in November 2023. HORRIBLE attorney. Do not use if you’re a woman. Takes the man’s side. For the preliminary meeting he sent an assistant that wasn’t prepared. Embarrassed me and himself in his inability to answer the Magistrates questi...ons. David would never return my phone calls or answer my emails. In addition any meetings with him he would degrade me. He asked if I needed a tissue when I entered the room . I asked him why would I need a tissue. He proceeded to say I was stupid.I feel he didn’t know how to proceed with my case. He discharged himself prior to the court date.

No one else needed.

Remember. Not many people submit positive reviews. They only do it when they are not satisfied. So over the decades. 3 negatives is an A+

Complete waste of my time an money !! Going through a vicious painful custody battle and in the short time I’ve retained him Acted completely put out that I requested their assistance in finding a different visitation center Also my visits with my child have been suspended for the last five weeks ...Which has been completly devastating for me !! Let alone the stress an confusion my child must feel !!When I called this Monday to speak with his paralegal and ask what’s the hold up what visitation centers do I need to contact? Why does no one have a sense of urgency beings I’ve not seen my baby in five weeks ! Have we received anything from opposing counsel yet ? Mr. McArtors paralegal became extremely defensive would not let me get in one word ! So the next day I recieved an email from David threatening to withdraw his legal counsel Because he wouldn’t stand for me Critizing his team !!! I immediately sent a reply stating my explanation listing the questions I asked and described the defensive condescending way his paralegal spoke to me I also stated my confusion as to why my questions were perceived to be critical ? To add insult to injury I recieved another email from David McArtor today stating he would be withdrawing as my counsel and he wishes me the best !!!! I’m completly in shock an awe of this actually happening today an with my court date right around the corner ! So he’s used more then half of my $4000 retainer billing me for I have no flipping idea ? To say I feel completely helpless an trying to shake that awful feeling of being kicked when your alredy so very down Is a Understatement!!! So not only do I feel taken advantage of financially but in shock an disbelief that I went to this man for help at the lowest point of my life completely trusting him Only to end up in this very bleak place so close to the hearing date. !!! Please beware of this wolf in sheeps clothing !! You may think your getting a great attorney with awesome credentials Please use caution because I found out that persona is a fasad!! I know that god is carrying me through horrible nightmare and the reason I’m not broken from this God bless

Definitely do not recommend!!!

I used this lawyer 12 years ago with my husband at the time (he's since passed away) and he was wonderful! I don't know what happened between then and now, but I referred my fiance... he overcharged (and changed his charges from he originally told us), did not communicate with us, chewed out my fian...ce for not contacting him (when he had called and spoke with the secretary/receptionist several times, including the day before court), and now withdrew from the case right before it's closing even though we paid him $2500. Spoke to us like we were nothing... I can't stand that! I think $2500 was way over priced for filing one form and showing up in court once for 10 minutes.
