Tough but Compassionate Matrimonial Lawyer

David Inlander has represented me for the past four years in ongoing issues arising from a contentious divorce . I only wish he had been my lawyer in its early stages. I realized immediately that David is both a great listener and recognizes the issues with great insight. His advice has been bot...h practical and reassuring. Many of the issues that arose were significant as they related to the best interests of my child as well as complicated financial issues . We prevailed in every instance. David's fees for the time spent were reasonable, appropriate and manageable. David's generous spirit in answering my calls and e mails was invaluable in giving me peace of mind and I never saw that time on my monthly statement. I would urge anybody managing a divorce and all that accompanies it to hire David Inlander as your Advocate.

Thorough, competent and professional

David Inlander handled all aspects of my divorce case with attention to the details and always responded to my calls/emails promptly. I felt that my best interests were reflected in the work done by him and his office. I will definitely go to him for future legal matters.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked extensively in a divorce case with David where our client owned a heavy construction company. I had never dealt with a situation and the technicalities of the heavy construction industry, bidding, the various equipment, working the state and federal authorities on projects, etc. David provided invaluable knowledge, patience and assistance in helping my client obtain a fantastic result. Could not have done it without David."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
