David Samuel Kerpel

If you need to get out of a bad marriage but just don't know how, you must call my attorney David Kerpel! David came highly recommended to me and I am highly recommending him to you! David is kind, sincere and brutally honest. He knew I was scared to death coming into the divorce and he never made... me feel uncomfortable or intimidated, he always made me feel at ease. And this man is smart! He knows the law and explains everything very clearly. David is incredibly thorough, he researches everything, tells you exactly what's happening, lays out all your options, gives you his recommendations and is not at all pushy! At some point during my divorce I was so emotionally drained, David could see what was happening and just took control! He is very aggressive and wont let you give up. He will fight for what is yours even when you have no more energy. David is hard working and fair. I cannot say enough great things about him other than if you need to get out of a bad marriage with great results, you need to call David Kerpel!

I was completely blindsided when my wife told me that she was filing for divorce. I was emotionally devastated after what seemed like a long loving marriage. I was also dealing with emotions associated with a very recent job change that required my relocation out of state. My spouse and I initiall...y mediated our divorce agreement prior to my enlisting the services of Mr. Kerpel. My spouse’s lawyer did not agree that the mediated agreement was fair to my spouse and that is when they began to deviate from the mediated agreement. I asked our mediator if she could recommend an attorney. She introduced me to Mr. Kerpel. I met with Mr. Kerpel. Initially I was trying to use Mr. Kerpel as a counselor rather than an attorney. He was very compassionate but firm which was exactly what I needed at the time. He is a very good listener. Mr. Kerpel explained how the process worked. In the end he presented a rough draft of the divorce agreement for my review and approval. After several iterations a final draft was forwarded to my spouse and her attorney. Due to the fact that I was working out of state I was unable to participate in person for the divorce proceedings. I signed paperwork to authorize Mr. Kerpel to represent me. Each proceeding was followed by clear follow-up calls or emails. My spouse’s attorney continually tried to derail the process by asking for more even after my wife and I had already mutually agreed upon a fair settlement. This tactic continued throughout the divorce process resulting in numerous court extensions. Mr. Kerpel was very professional throughout the proceedings. In the end my settlement was fair to both parties. Mr. Kerpel did an excellent job helping me get through the most difficult event of my life.

I didn't want to have to hire an attorney, but my ex filed and sued me in court leaving me no choice. I was referred to David by a trusted attorney in the city, and although I was stressed to the max because I am the primary caregiver of my three young boys and was worried my rights wouldn't be given... attention, David immediately put my mind at ease. There were times during the process when I ignorantly resisted agreeing with David but I soon found out that his intuition was accurate. He mapped out how things would go and gave me excellent advice, all the while trying to help quicken and ease the pain of the process. If it wasn't for the antics and strategies of my ex and her attorneys we should have been able to finalize things in a couple months at mediation, which is what David and I were ready to do. Unfortunately it took a little longer after my ex walked away from mediation and began the process of hiring an attorney for our kids. Again I was scared $&@% less and once again David helped me keep steady. In the end Kerpels instincts and advice were dead on, and the outcome was more or less what we hoped for and expected. I highly recommend David Kerpel, he will do his best to advise you as to what's in the best interest of both parties, and keep you out of court. Thanks David!

I was sad to have gone through a divorce, but VERY glad that Mr. David Kerpel was my attorney. My spouse and I had mediated our divorce needs/agreements before coming to Mr. Kerpel. The mediator is the one who gave us Mr. Kerpel's number. I, the wife was to contact his office so that a div...orce agreement could be produced, signed, and used in court. I had initial meeting with Mr. Kerpel. He listened to me needs, and my story. We discussed the mediation agreement terms and whether or not I was happy with these or did I want to fight for more provision. I was happy with the mediation terms and was simply looking for divorce agreement papers. It is to be noted that Mr. Kerpel was ready, willing, and capable in getting more provision from my spouse, but I declined that need. Mr. Kerpel asked me other questions related to the needs of the divorce agreement to be developed, so that work on it could begin. He presented a rough draft to me, to which I had many questions about. Mr. Kerpel worked with me on minor changes to be made. He always got back to me in a timely manner. I gave a version of what the agreement would have in it to my spouse. He showed it to another lawyer just to get their opinion on what was presented in the document. That stirred the pot because that lawyer asked my spouse why we had settled for these things we had, and that my spouse should fight to provide less. Mr. Kerpel then became my representation only, and did get the chance to work to keep the things that "had already been agreed upon" to remain so. Talk went back and forth between the parties, and then a final agreement was signed with the agreed items in tact. When the court date came Mr. Kerpel represented himself well by his appearance, actions, and prompt arrival. The court appointment went smoothly and there was nothing to dispute. I told him that he was the David who fought Goliath, and won! He did for me!

I started down a mediated divorce process with an outside counselor who was horrible--in looking for help to fix first attorneys mess, I was referred to David Kerpel. From the first interaction with David it was no nonsense--it was all about how to fix past messes and get me the best outcome possible.... David respected my crazy travel/work schedules and made my interactions with him -- as in frequent as possible--though when communication was needed he alerted me with notice and made our communication succinct and productive. David gives the attorney profession a good name and am glad he was on my side--he also understood my soft side and pushed to make sure I got what was deserved---I highly recommend David and will not hesitate to use him for other personal issues that warrant legal support. In closing, he took a horrible situation and made it tolerable--i shudder to think what would have happened if I would have left the original attorney in place
