We Won!!

David is an amazing Lawyer and he takes pride in defending his clients! He truly values his time working towards the best possible end result for his clients. I have never felt a sense of relief until I was introduced to David. Just knowing someone truly has my best interest and is willing to fight f...or me is the best possible feeling anyone can have. David is one of the most professional and respectful Lawyers I know. Never cutting corners and always had a realistic answer when I needed one. His Team is always up to speed and are quick on their feet! David and his team are definitely the best legal counsel I've ever had. I know if I am ever in a bad situation I can always count one David Sternfield!! Thank you!!

Won Custody Battle

David Sternfield was a fair and honest Lawyer. He focused primarily on the goal and did his best to accommodate my needs. In the end I got the custody I wanted along with a very fair agreement on transportation. David was capable of handling most of the work while I was in Nevada. Any and all issues ...were addressed and he was willing to work me through any questions I had. Very easy going and if I needed anything he was a simple text away. I went from having no custody to having every school break and can now spend Christmas with my son that I’ve missed for 6 years.

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!

Chicago Best Attorney

I had a child custody case 2 years ago that was the hardest thing in life I ever had to experience and go through. I Goggled lawyers and found Mr. David Sternfield. I called and asked if I could in the same day. I came in the office and Mr. Sternfield and I talked about what was going on. ...Mr. Sternfield is very patient, though, experienced and straight to the point. He was very helpful in giving me advice, coming up with a plan and explaining next steps. I felt very confident that Mr. Sternfield and his very professional team was handling my case and working hard to get me the BEST results .I did get the BEST results in my case in the end . I highly recommend Mr. Sternfield AND HIS VERY PROFESSIONAL team to anyone that wants legal help that is genuine, professional, committed, work for the client and caring about your case type of legal service. Mr. Sternfield and his Team definitely the best legal counsel in Chicago.

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.
