A Legal Powerhouse Who Delivered the Win of a Lifetime

⭐ David Kramer – 5 Stars I recently had the rare privilege of being represented by David J. Kramer, a legal mastermind whose reputation as a litigating god among mortals truly precedes him. Although he no longer takes on most family law matters, David made an exception in our case—which my wife, our... family, and I are incredibly grateful for. From the outset, David treated our situation with a level of respect, fairness, and care that's rarely found even among the closest of friends—let alone in legal counsel. He brought clarity to chaos, strategy to uncertainty. And when he identified an opportunity to strengthen our position, he immediately and personally brought in another seasoned attorney to ensure the best possible outcome. That level of investment—financially and professionally—is something I’ve never seen from most people, and certainly never expected from my attorney. Behind the scenes, someone very close to me helped bring this all together. Her network, encouragement, strength, insight, and hidden sacrifice made it possible to build the legal team that ultimately helped secure the result we’d been fighting for. Thanks in no small part to David’s integrity, connections, reputation, and courtroom presence, we resolved a years-long conflict with a resounding win in a way that truly serves the best interest of my child—and did so with remarkable efficiency. He has my respect, undying friendship, and highest recommendation.

Aggressive, honest attorney who will fight tooth and nail for your case

I, unfortunately, had to go through a painful divorce process. An elder at our church recommended me to David. After meeting with David, he wanted to help me through this process and ensure that me and my children's best interests were litigated. David did an amazing job, with integrity and and ag...gressive attitude to fight for my rights as a Father. We were able to work professionally with the other side and come to a workable agreement. In addition, David went above and beyond in counseling and assisting me with helping me to get back on my feet emotionally and spiritually. You will not find a better, more aggressive attorney to help you with your family or criminal law case.

Aggressive, highly skilled, diligent and dedicated. A caring and highly skilled Lawyer that knows how to get the job finished.

He was very aggressive and fought tooth and nail to defend my rights and represent me with professionalism and skill against a highly ranked law firm that repeatedly tried to side track me. My case was very complex and heavily detail orientated. David Kramer was extremely diligent in helping me dea...l with every nuance of the case and gave me sound advice in how to deal with this complex case on a day to day basis. He made this extremely stressful and difficult time in my life far easier with specific and informed advice that greatly helped my case. He set my mind at ease while taking on a very strong lawyer as his opposition and was still able to deliver on everything he told me he would. We were able to avoid trial and still get everything we where hoping for. His professionalism, diligence, and care for my issues was constantly apparent through out my whole case and I could not imagine going through this difficult time without him. My son and I owe him the world and will be using him for any future issues that arise.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David is skilled, intelligent & hard-working. He is known for aggressively representing his clients and he consistently gets great results. Recently, we obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict for a man who was facing life in prison; got charges dismissed for a juvenile who was falsely accused of serious sexual assault charges, proved that our client was not guilty of the alleged serious violation of probation allegation, and stopped criminal charges from being issued by proving that our client was innocent."
