David Steele
David Steele helped me out with a college living situation. Since I am a college student on a budget, he did the work at no cost.

WARNING^^^^ Do Not call him unless you are serious about WINNING !
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.

David Steele - Outstanding Lawyer with Ethics and Integrity
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...

I really lucked out
I was given Mr. Steele's name by a friend at work. That was a lucky day as I had no idea how to find a GOOD attorney. He made me feel better almost immediately giving me options and then explaining the most likely outcome with each option discussed. He always returned my calls when he said he would a...

The Best Choice Lawyer!
He is very comfortable to talk to, but is very ready and determined to fight for us in court. He's so down to earth. He is reasonably priced, which has also made it easy for us. Thanks David looking forward to working with you.

"David is a wonderful attorney, very talented and client-driven. I would highly endorse him."
"Mr. Steele and I do not practice in ANY of the same areas of law. We somehow crossed paths on a particular Avvo question and have communicated a couple of times, since. What I have noticed in my interactions with David is he is not your typical lawyer. That is a good thing, because people often despise "typical lawyers." If you review David's profile, his philosophy and his client reviews, you get a sense that not only is David not typical, but he is exceptional, in who he is and what he does. The kind of work that he does is difficult. He is often meeting with people who are at their very worst. You can tell from the reviews that David not only helps them through that, but that he also gives them a whole new outlook on lawyers and the law. How many lawyers can you say that about? For these reasons and because I really admire the man's philosophy and his bio, I am very happy to endorse David and his services. James Frederick"
