Custody Issues

We hired Mr. Chasnik to assist with transferring custody from out of state to Oakland County. Once jurisdiction was here, motioned to enforce custody as my ex was alienating me from from daughter. Mr. Chasnik went above and beyond and I finally got to reunite with her!

Divorce case

I hired him for a divorce case and expected at least truth and legal advice. That was far from the truth with him! He first suggested incorrect actions and then kept getting my case dates dismissed without permission from me! He will tell you he’s working on your case but really isn’t.

Divorce & Custody & Change of Domicile

Mr. Chasnick represented me when I had already been through 3 attorney's through an extremely complicated divorce and custody battle that spanned over 3 years. Once I found him the process was smooth, thorough, and finally successful. His knowledge, demeanor, expertise in the field and connections in... the court system were key in my case. I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for strong representation.

My experience

To say that David was a fantastic lawyer is an absolute understatement. I asked him for help with my divorce when my wife (now ex-wife thanks to David) was refusing to sign paperwork and I needed someone who understood the process. From the start, David was very engaged with me at every step of th...e process. Every time a piece of paperwork was filed, or the next step was taken- I was promptly informed and educated on the matter. David is quite a busy man with all the people he helps, but any time I requested an update from him or had questions- he was always prompt with responses and information. There wasn't a single time I asked for something that David didn't meet or exceed my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this man to anyone who asked me about him. Thank you again for all your wonderful help, David.

AMAZING ATTORNEY

We have been working with David on a very difficult, post-divorce, custody case that involves abuse of a child. David will not relent and has been doing anything he can to protect our son from abuse. He goes even to the abstract of court rule and laws to find a way to help solve and win this case. ... David was also instrumental in having a GAL removed that created a attorney-client relationship with the defendant. David communicates well, efficient, calls back all the time and will help educate you about the laws. David and his partner are great to work with.
