Waisted My Time & My Hard Earned Money

Dragging the case. Never got anything done positive. Don’t hire him!! Only was in it for the money end of the day!! You would see only the associate, never him handling the case. I think he knew how to handle the situation in this case!!

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!

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.

David

I originally hired David for a custody dispute that has stretched on for years. After a change of venue he remained active in the case in an advisory role. David provided sound legal advice throughout the entire case. Great knowledge and very supportive through the whole experience.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
