unprofessional,money grubbing

I hired and paid over $5,000 in fees for this man to represent my daughter which was paid in full by her court date. He tacked on an additional 658.00 in which he billed her. I said something to him at the time and he said he had additional expenses . I have never had this happen before with any oth...er attorney I have hired. They quote a price and don't add additional expenses. To make a long story short he ended up trying to take her car away due to the lapsed bill. She only began to start a new part-time job within the last 3 months , spent 6 weeks in intensive care at the University of Michigan and other hospitalizations as well. I felt the charges were bogus after I had already paid him what he quoted .Besides, I hired him, not my daughter. He does not care about people. He cares only about money. I had to pay over $900.00 to save a car worth between $4-5000.

Trust/Estate Planning

I have referred multiple clients to David Stimpson for Estate Planning. I have followed up with those clients and all have had nothing but good things to say about Dave and his staff. They leave with a thorough understanding of their trusts and estate plans and how to utilize them through their lives....

Probate matter

Felt like the issue was handled professionally and with expertise. I wished I had come to Stimpson & Associates PC first. Dave explained every step of the process and we were able to achieve a positive outcome. I would recommed Stimpson & Associates to anyone and have told my friends to call if they ...have a problem and talk to Dave.

Family Law Client

Going through a divorce with an understanding attorney like David Stimpson, makes the entire experience less scary and very comforting knowing you have someone on your side who is awesome at what they do and always there to explain the intimidating process. I recommend this office to everyone because... not only did I get the results I was looking for, but I now know who I will go to if I ever have any problems in the future. They do it all!
