David Sternfield

I hired Mr. Sternfield for his family services. For most of the case he had someone else come in for him , but he was very helpful with my questions so were the people who showed up for him very supportive team through the whole experience.

point A to point B..

after extensive research looking for a family law attorney, I decided to contact David S. for a consultation. He heard my case and gave me great advice on how to approach it. I decided to hire him, he took on my case very professionally and kept it personable at the same time. I felt very comfortable... with how he handled it, straight to the point. I WILL recommend his firm to anyone that needs family law services.

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.

Divorce Case With Children

David represented me with my divorce involving children. He was resourceful, understanding, and patient. He has high integrity and will speak the truth so you are not blind-sided. He listens to your needs and supports you. He helps rationalize during high stress times and keep you focused. His heart ...is in the right profession as well as his natural ability.
