Horrible experience

It was as if he was working with the other council and not looking for my best interest. Huge waste of time. Did nothing he said he would, I had to hire another attorney to fix everything. Save your time and money your better off anywhere else.

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!!

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.

David is simply the best you can get.

I am a soldier stationed overseas, I hired David to help with my divorce and custody case. From the beginning he was upfront, honest and a clear no nonsense type of person. My ex hired a high profile lawyer "machine" in Chicago, and if I hadn't had David their to help protect my daughter I could have... easily lost her. I am ever so grateful for all his help, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reasonable price, and most importantly, the best service.

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.
