Excellent attorney!

Thanks to David Sternfield, LLC and his amazing team! Going through a divorce is very stressful, so I needed an attorney that was knowledgeable and able to calm my fears. I was referred to David’s law firm through a good friend that said that he was an amazing attorney to have on your side. David act...ually handled two divorces for me and the process was always courteous and professional. Thanks to David, I can move on with my life in peace. I would utilize his services again and again!

The man who made it all possible.

My name is Angileena. I am an active duty military member. I came to David nervous, scared, and in tears about my divorce process. I needed someones help and luckily I found just the right person. David and his associates helped me earn full custody of my son and divorce my ex. He was very relatable ...and sympathetic toward my case and worked very well with my military lifestyle. Though it was a long process due to the incompetence of the opposing party David stuck by my side the entire time. And his one of a kind humor definitely brightened my moods every time we met. He helped change my life and especially my sons life for so much better. Thanks to David Sternfield my son and I can move on happily, peacefully, and extatic for our future. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my son and I and for being the man that made it all possible.

David is simply the best you can get.

I am a soldier stationed overseas, I hired David to help with my divorce and custody case. From the beginning he was upfront, honest and a clear no nonsense type of person. My ex hired a high profile lawyer "machine" in Chicago, and if I hadn't had David their to help protect my daughter I could have... easily lost her. I am ever so grateful for all his help, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reasonable price, and most importantly, the best service.

Great lawyer

I hired David Sternfield for my fathers rights. I live in Georgia and my daughter lives in Chicago. A very complex arrangement I had with my ex. David took care of everything for me and was very compassionate about my situation.

Only wants your money and will not get you results

Please do more research on this attorney and DO NOT hire him. His is not to help you get the best results; his real intention is to drag the case for as long as possible and get more $ out of you. I had a post-decree issue that I hired him for. He did zero research prior to opening a motion, he sent... his paralegal to court room instead of coming himself who was not qualified and the case was never reopened of his ignorance. Finally I had to fire him and go to another knowledgable and decent attorney that was shocked by David's incompetense in knowing simple laws.
