David Mitchell Sternfield

Like a lot of people about to face a fierce custody battle, I was confused, frustrated and not thinking clearly. David did a wonderful job of calming me down and explaining the law. In court, David and his associates were incredibly professional and I was totally impressed with the results. His fee...s were fair and I would recommend him to my best friend.

David was contacted while I was living out-of-state to take on my IL child support case. Having only spoken on the phone prior to representation in court, he provided me with much needed legal and even some moral direction. He was accommodating to my financial needs and always made me feel comfortabl...e to give him a call with any questions or concerns. Happy to have had his council and even happier to be a part of my son's life.

David was and has been on my side since the day I met him over the phone when I called to ask questions about my child support case. His advise always has my interests at the forefront. He is honest and takes into consideration costs for his time, and knew I didn't have an endless budget to spend o...n my case, so never took advantage in terms of billing. He is an excellent communicator in court as well as with the opposing party/council and was available to chat if I needed even if he was home with his family for the evening. What I needed most help with was being strong and protecting myself, despite fears of retaliation from the opposing party. David helped me realize my best interests and would give me 'tough love' and would encourage me to do what I needed to do, even if it wasn't always easy or pretty, as it related to my anxieties. I would absolutely recommend David.

Before being introduced to David and his team, I was at my lowest point of my custody case for my son and life for that matter. My previous lawyer was incompetent which cost me a great deal of time, money and stress. On pure testimony from my ex, I was limited to supervised visitations that were 3 ho...urs per week. To further her case, she pursue criminal charges. Fortunately enough, I secure David prior the trial and his team did an excellence job exposing my ex's inconsistencies and unfounded claims. Within 20 minutes of deliberation, a verdict of not guilty was rendered. David's team challenged my visitation schedule and ultimately got me every other weekend unsupervised and three hours during the week. David and his team's services go beyond the courtroom as well; providing guidance with communication, genuine concern and clarity with the case. You are getting high quality representation. David is worth every penny and took me going through two other law firms to appreciate the level of service.
