David James Steele

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.

I contacted David to help me with a custody arraignment. He spent a great deal of time talking with me, and explained everything in detail. David was very knowledgeable on the custody laws, and helped me understand what my expectations should be as the non custodial parent. He was always available... when I called, even giving me his cell phone number. He even returned a call to me after he had dental surgery. David also gave me a discount with the retainer, which helped me tremendously. He cares about his clients, not the money. I am very happy with the work David did for me, and wouldn’t hesitate to contact him in the future.

David Steele is the only attorney who showed compansion for me during my time of need. Steele helped to explain the custody laws, visitation guidlelines, and child support process for me. Steele is a hard worker and always available to his clients, even on the weekends. I am very satisfied with case ...and the work Steele has done for me.

David James Steel not only did exactly what he said he would do, He also calmed me (The Client ) down. When i findly decided which legal advice to take and started to explain my problems, David was to the point, Professional, Affordable, quickly to respond and he became an individual I would call a F...RIEND. Thank You David for what you have already completed for me and Thank You for the peace of mind that you will be there for me at a moments notice. Jerry

David is a terrific lawyer. I first met him on personal terms, as his daughter & mine are in ballet class together. He was funny & friendly and as we chatted while watching our little BFF's dance, we eventually got to a meat & potatoes conversation about my recent separation and impending divorce. ... As divorce is never an easy situation that nobody ever wants to have to deal with, he was very empathetic (having dealt with distraught clients in similar situations for the past umpteen years). He offered his services at a rate that, being a newly single mom, I couldn't afford to pass up & as a friend now to him & his wife, I trusted what he said he could do for me. I was not disappointed. David was always available by phone, text or email & responded quickly to my questions or concerns. He knew the state laws without reservation. He expidited my case and I always felt like a priority. David is a great guy as well as a great lawyer. He didn't let our professional relationship interfere with the personal one our children have & even brought his daughter to my daughter's birthday party and didn't use that time as a platform to discuss my case or soliciting others as most lawyers often would. David always had my best interests at heart and listened to my concerns about my divorce. In the end, my divorce was completed without nasty court proceedings, long, drawn-out meetings and jacked up rates, or months & years of negotiating. David handled my divorce like the professional that he is and I couldn't be happier with the results.
