David James Steele

I called 7 lawyers that. 2 wanted $200 for a consultation, 1 wanted $100 for a consultation, and 3 didn't even care to return my call. Mr. Steele called me around 8 pm while his family was having dinner to consult with me. talk about DEDICATION! He was up front and honest with me about everything I a...sked and I could tell the passion he has for what he does. I am so pleased that we will be hiring him in the near future! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who asked and am truly pleased with how accurate the reviews are.

I currently have one case under the care of Steele Legal Group. Another case happened to sneak up on me when I least expected it. As we know money can be a big key factor in what type of lawyer we are able to get. But I don't want just any lawyer, I want David Steele to represent me always! I had t...alked to David explaining how my world had turned upside down and how I didn't have much to offer money wise, however, like a great man, he was able to work out a agreement with me to help me in my situation! Can I just say that's an answer to my prayers. So much stress and worry lifted off of me! There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that David Steele and his team really do care and will help me out when I'm feeling like there's no hope! Today he gave me a blessing! Thank you David Steele and your associates for everything that you do for not just me but all your clients!

David Steele saved my marriage. This sounds ridiculous, since he's a divorce attorney, and honestly, that would put him out of business, but I wish I could hire david on permanent retainer just to have him up my sleeve. My husband is an opiate addict, and has been for seventeen years, since the age... of fourteen. We have been together for three years, married for two, and have an eighteen month old son. (I know, try to keep up) I was unaware of his habit until a few weeks before I gave birth to our son. I spent the better part of a year trying to help him get clean, but he couldn't hold himself together for more than a day or two. Then one day he sold all of our sons things to a children's resale shop to buy heroin. I left with my son. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and David was incredible. He reassured me throughout the process of filing for divorce, talked with me when I needed it, and generally just made himself available personally for any questions I had. My husband hired some sleazeball lawyer and claimed he wanted full custody, and child support, because I had a d felony marijuana charge from four years prior. I was terrified. David hit back hard, per his usual style, and honestly, it was a serious reality check for my husband. When he learned I had David representing me, he realized he was really going to lose us, and got help. David is worth every penny, and then some. He has a wife and family of his own, and he's not just in it for the money. I think David honestly just wants to help people, and who needs more help than a woman with children going through an ugly divorce? And even those men who are in need in a mother-preferred state like Indiana who are a better choice for their children than an irresponsible or reckless mother. There's a reason that when you typed in "best Indianapolis lawyers", it led you to this review. That's exactly how I found him. Hire David Steele. Before your ex does.

I hired David in April 2014 to handle a custody modification with a hostile ex. I literally googled “aggressive attorney Indianapolis” and found David on this site and couldn’t be more grateful. David has done more for me in the last month than my previous attorney did for me in 10 years! My ex repre...sents himself in court, despite having no legal training, and likes to file multiple motions and force hearings he knows will require me to hire representation. I relocated out of state for work and let my teenaged son remain with his father per my son’s wishes. When my son decided he wanted to relocate with me I hired David to represent me in a custody modification, in addition to the support modification filed by my ex more than 6 months after my relocation (despite multiple efforts by me and my counsel to get my ex to agree to a custody/support modification document prior to my relocation). In addition my ex was denying me summer visitation with my son. David went above and beyond trying to get my ex to agree to a temporary agreement on support and visitation so we wouldn’t have a hearing on the support issue, only custody. My ex refused, knowing I would need to drive from out of state to attend, and even told David he “had nothing to lose” by going to court. David told him there would be consequences to forcing a hearing and he proved it! First the judge ordered far less support than he was seeking—and far less than was offered him in the agreement David drew up prior to the hearing. Secondly, David managed to get the judge to order my ex to turn my son over to me for 7 weeks of summer visitation, much more than the two weeks we were seeking in the agreement AND despite the judge initially saying she would not rule on visitation, only support. Thirdly, he proved my ex flat out lied to the judge! When David followed up with a rather sarcastic email telling my ex the dates for my summer visitation he also let my ex know he would seek to recoup my attorney fees if my ex perjured himself in court again. My ex replied that he emailed the prosecutor (interpretation: went crying to the prosecutor) accusing David of threatening him! There were threats, but they were threats David made good on! He told my ex if we go to court my ex would be walking out of court wondering just what happened, and he was. He told him he was now taking this case personally, and he did. We still have a custody hearing in a couple of months and I personally cannot wait to see what David has in store for my ex. I have every confidence my son will be living with me full time in the next few months and have David to thank for that. In the ten years I have been dealing with my ex I have never felt so confident that justice will be served and that my ex will be exposed to the court for lying, manipulating, and wasting the court’s time. This is the first time in ten years I’ve felt like someone has my back and will not let this person take advantage of me and the court. Until this week, every time I walked out of the courtroom I’ve felt like I’ve been screwed by the system, but not this week. David Steele will get you results. He cares more about his clients getting the outcome they deserve than his bill. He has steeply discounted my rates, charging about half of what he could have, because he knows my ex’s goal is to incur legal fees I have to pay. You will not regret hiring him for even one minute!
