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!!

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!!

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.

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.

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.
