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.

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.

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.

Outstanding

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.

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.
