Posted by Julie | August 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

consistently responsive, at minimal cost

David Lacks handled my divorced at minimal cost and continued to inform me over a period of many years of my ex-husband's law suit and the resulting decisions, again, at a minimal fee.

Posted by Angela | February 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney

Responsive & helpful

Honest, solid advice. I’ve hired and consulted with David several times and would recommend him again and again.

Posted by anonymous | October 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Family

Personable and responsive

David helped me with a family matter. He was responsive and patient with my many questions. He was sympathetic and I felt he was genuinely interested in my well-being. He resolved my issue in a timely way and was both personable and professional.

Expert Representation

I was facing divorce and was luckily directed to David's office. David was able to thoroughly explain the process, give direction on my actions, and instill confidence in his professional ability to lead me through. David was always proactive with communications and filings with the court. Always ...brief and to the point, focused on my best interest and fair resolution. Throughout the proceedings, I always felt like I had an all-star at bat for me.
