BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY, CREME DE LE CREME

I was referred to David by another attorney (he is that well respected in the community)..best decision ever. Just finished a 4 day trial with him (post decree work) and he slaughtered opposing counsel who charges almost 50% more than him! He KILLED it! Nobody can hold a candle to David. Previously I... have worked with Beermann and Berger Shatz, 2 prestigous firms, both of which are awful! They severly over-charge for jr. attorneys and you never know who is going to court for you (whomever is available). David represents his clients 150%, is EXTREMELY familiar with the law (child support statue just changed and opposing counsel didn't even understand it). He is VERY well respected by colleagues and the judges. This is extremely important to your case. He contacts you when he needs to, doesn't over-prepare... is considerate of your dollars. His staff is great too, Courtney is a doll. DON'T EVEN THINK TWICE, HIRE DAVID FOR ALL YOUR FAMILY LAW ISSUES.

Professional, Ethical and Client-Minded

David has been my attorney for nearly seven years, representing me during my divorce and in all post-decree matters. He and Fiona were always punctual with scheduled appointments/teleconferences and his firm's correspondence and invoicing kept me fully apprised as to how my case was progressing. Davi...d was especially adept at being able to balance zealous advocacy while maintaining compassion toward my ex-spouse post-decree when she elected to file certain matters and represent herself pro se. As a practicing regulatory attorney, I was able to understand many aspects of my case though David would frequently (and in a timely fashion) bring up nuances of law that we needed to further evaluate. His thorough representation made me feel as though I had a trusted advisor who actually cared about the outcome of my case and who wanted me to understand even those nuances that I would otherwise have most certainly overlooked. David is a model attorney that others should aspire to be.

A lawyer you can trust when you need someone to protect you

I had order of protection case. I was scared and I knew it would be a difficult case because of who the person was. I didn't know where to turn to for help nor who to trust. David came very highly recommended by workers in the court house and by friends. Once I met with David, I started to feel le...ss afraid and I instantly knew that I was in good hands. David was very communicative, knowledgeable, firm, protective, and caring. I'm so grateful to him for all he did to help me and the fees were very, very fair.

A lawyer worth hiring

I was in a custody fight for my 2 children. After a year and a half with my first lawyer and thousands of dollars spent I was nowhere. I found David and after my first meeting with him I felt very confident with him on my case. He was very honest with me telling me that my case would not be easy b...eing a father fighting for custody. From the beginning he took charge and I was extremely pleased with the way he handled my case. If you think any lawyer has the time to be at your beckon call you have never dealt with lawyers. They have a ton of cases and are very busy. David always responded to my emails and questions and took the time to keep me informed. After a long case and a lot of frustration with the court system, David worked very hard to win me custody of my children. He is well worth every penny I spent on him. I would highly recommend David to anybody who is looking for a lawyer. David is a lawyer who knows what he is doing and won't waste your money.

Finally, a lawyer who cares and delivers results!

David has represented me for almost 5 years in post-decree divorce matters, and we have faced just about every allegation you can imagine involving Child Support, Custody & Visitation. I have been divorced for almost 10 years and have 3 minor children. Over the years I have had several different at...torneys and have found David to be the best! He is extremely smart and efficient and he knows the law and can think on his feet. He has great relationships with the people you need on your side and is definitely respected by the Judges. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has issues in Family Court. He is fair, honest, capable and knows how to get things done. He isn't the cheapest solution available but he's not the most expensive either - you definitely get a good bang for your buck. His support staff is also very capable and smart which makes a bigger difference than you might realize. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last 5 years without David. He really is a trusted adviser and the peace of mind from knowing that you're in good hands and that he will be there when you really need him is invaluable!
