Clueless Buffon

if You want an incompetent divorce attorney look no further. He will take you for every penny with no results.

Divorce

David handled my divorce 15 years ago. I was drained emotionally and was used to being manipulated by my ex-husband. I was working as a nurse and taking care of three boys. I needed someone to look out for my rights, and the rights and future of my boys. He was strong, firm and intelligent. And ...we are all doing great!

Reliable Attorney

David handled a visitation rights and child custody case for me which we won successfully, landing in a temporary custody order. He was very reponsive, prompt and always worked on a moments notice. He allways arrived to court on time and consistently, despite juggling other cases (never pawned off on... another attorney). Works close to the Daley Center, so thats a big advantage. He never bustled me for payments every time we met and he's relatively affordable. I didnt agree on a certain exclusion he had in his contract regarding respondent's fees, but I guess every attorney can indoctrine their own contract as they wish. Overall, I would definitely recommend him.
