David James Steele

Unfortunately I'm going through a divorce. My wife started scaring me with worse case scenario type of things. I found David Steele on line and sent an email @ 4am. He called me before he even started his day because he cared instantly. David Steele then proceeded all day to prove just how much. I wa...s stunned from start to finish and remain stunned. NOBODY moves this quickly. I met him over the phone at 6am and by 8:30 I was signing the papers. I can not say enough about how much this man cares about what he does. Simply amazing!

I really don't know where to start. David was the ONLY attorney who would even talk to me on the phone without wanting money first or being really rude and basically hanging up on me after 30 seconds. He called me back after I left him a voicemail. i didn't expect that after all the jerks I had tal...ked to. He talked to me for 70 minutes. I swear to God. At 6:00 at night. And never asked me for a dime for spending over an hour with someone who just called him. And at that point, I didn't know what to think. Was he a little crazy? Was he this desperate for a client...why would he go to such phenomenal lengths to help me? It wasn't until later, when I became a client, I realized that he is one of the biggest lawyers in Indy, if not the whole state. And once I got to know him and I saw what he did to my husband's attorney in court, it is ABSOLUTELY not a surprise to me. And trust me - he's exceptionally busy. He often called me as late as 10:00; i mean, he was always working and he still made me feel like I was his only client and that his whole company hinged on whether or not he won. And by winning I mean getting me custody of my two girls. I would have died if I lost them. I simply would have died. And he did all this while his phone, his receptionist's phone, his paralegal's phone and his associate lawyer's phones were ringing off the hook. And in court...I just don't know how to describe it. He was so much better at what he does than the other lawyer, it just made the man look silly. My husband was losing his sh%$ the entire time because it was so obviously not going his way and david just got cooler and calmer as it went on and that just drove him more nuts. Which then rattled his attorney. And David was unflappable.. He even started smiling really subtly at my husband at his table when no one was looking. it was straight out of a movie. trust me - he deserved everything david gave him. I don't know what else to say. I've never once logged onto the internet to review anything or post anything. But david got me my girls by working harder and smarter and honestly just caring more than anyone else. and he did it all for the original retainer as he promised he would try to do though he couldn't guarantee it. I paid $3,000 to start and while I don't know exactly how lawyers work, I know that at his hourly rate, we went WAY WAY over $3,000. But he knew I was absolutely broke because my husband left us high and dry and I had to borrow the money of my aunt and uncle. He always acted like I had money left on my retainer and I know it was because he didn't want to make me feel like a charity case. And the frustrating part is there was absolutely no way on God's earth I can adequately thank him. What do you do for someone who rescued your life? and in such a cool and almost fun way (he's absolutely hilarious, by the way - you will feel comfortable with him in about 30 seconds)? So I tried to write something on his website to at least try to say thank you but there's no way to thank him on his site but I found this link. Then I read all the other people he helped and it's just amazing. every one of us had the same experience. He seriously is the #1 divorce/custody lawyer in Indiana. There's no question. Does anyone else have reviews like this? Anywhere? David - I know you don't read these but if you ever do, know that I am crying as I write this and I will never be able to thank you enough. You saved me. You saved my daughters and only you and I know what you saved them from. Thank you.

It was immediately clear that David's main concern was winning. It was not money. Every other lawyer I called only talked money. This was my first time using the legal system and I was nervous and clueless. David couldn't have been more patient and I doubt he could have been more knowledgable. I...t was very obvious he has been doing only this for ten years. He got everything possible for me out of my divorce which wasn't exactly amicable. He did it while keeping everything friendly and never charged me a dime over my initial retainer. He could have run my bill up but instead, he kept doing things without charging me. I mean, he seriously did not charge me for about every other phone call or email. He said in the beginning that he would respond to every email and every phone call. I did not expect him to be quite that serious. Every single time I called, he called back. Every time I wrote an email, he wrote back. Every time something happened, he called to tell me. It honestly got to the point where my now ex-wife called ME to find out what was happening because she knew my lawyer told me immediately and she could never get a hold of her lawyer (who she paid more for, by the way). God, that was satisfying! I just can't recommend David enough. And judging by the other reviews I read, neither can any of his other clients.

I contacted David Steele one day to ask questions about a highly unusual divorce and custody case and I mean this is one for the record books. I just wanted some answers and what I got was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. He immediately gave me his full attention and wanted the facts.... I have interviewed with 5 attorneys only to have them take a 300 dollar counsultation fees and tell me that they had too large of a case load to even talk to me anymore. They wished me luck, took my money and sent me out the door feeling worse then I did when I walked through it. NOT David Steele!!! He made me feel like I was the only client that he had. He cares about winning NOT Money! Since I have hired him I have seen nothing but action and results. Not only was he interested in my case first and MONEY LAST, but he charged half of what the attorneys that I interviewed were going to charge me, that is if they had been even interested in being hired. I bet I don't tell another lawyer joke for years! Mr. Steele was very professional and interested in helping me and his staff is EXCELLENT as well. I thought he was just being courteous or maybe a joke when He gave me his cell phone number and told me that he would call me back. So I threw away the cell number. He called me back on it less then 30 minutes after I had already talked to him. He has called me numerous times to give me updates on my case. I cant beleive it. IS THIS MAN FOR REAL? Answer to that question is undoubtebly a YES! He's real! HE'S A ROCK STAR! If Eric Clapton was an attorney, then he would be David Steele, THANK YOU MR. STEELE! I almost feel like I took money from YOU.. WARNING!!!!!! Do not contact David Steele unless you are serious about WINNING!

I first contacted Mr. Steele when I was making my decision about whether or not to divorce. He spent a substantial amount of time talking to me about options, and letting me share with him what was happening in my life. At no time did I feel rushed nor judged. When I had my first meeting with Mr.... Steele, I was so impressed! He was dressed most appropriately, and shook my hand warmly. I felt as though he already knew my case quite well, so prepared was he. I had explained to Mr. Steele prior to our meeting that I am uncomfortable leaving my home or conversing for long periods of time. Mr. Steele had clearly taken my needs into consideration as everything was ready for signatures and I didn't have to stay any longer than absolutely necessary. While we talked, I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Steele's delightfully dry sense of humor; he put me right at ease. I cannot stress enough the professionalism with which Mr.Steele handled himself. Clearly he is well-versed in the law.. He worked with purpose, but I always understood, thanks to him, exactly what was going on and why. I was free to modify anything I needed. Finally, Mr. Steele has been in regular contact with me, which shows me that he is professional, dedicated to his clients, and has integrity to spare. After some horror stories I've heard, I feel confident in putting my future, and that of my children, in Mr. Steele's hands. There isn't a doubt in my mind that I come first with him, and that he will do his utmost to ensure success for us all.
