Posted by Ryan | August 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Lost and Confused in Chicago

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.

Has my best interests as priority

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.

David Sternfield

David represented me in a condo board dispute. He had an excellent knowledge of the issues and my specific bylaws. There was a sensitivity to my ability to pay and I felt he billed much less than actual time spent. My experience was so favorable that I used him again to produce a will and trust.

Amazing Attorney

I was really upset about my divorce. I know I took and needed a lot of care and patience. David was calm, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. He was an advocate for me in every sense, being honest and kind. In every action he had with opposing counsel and the judge, David was ready and able to repr...esent me. I was in excellent hands. He helped me through my divorce in every way and made it as straight forward and painless as possible, always being fair and informative with me. If any of my friends ever have to go through a divorce, I would make sure they get to work with David.
