So helpful in my divorce

I highly recommend using David if you find yourself needing a divorce lawyer. He was so patient with me and even consulted with me for free while I was deciding to even file or not. Once I did file, he was responsive and compassionate to answer all of my questions and concerns. I knew he was trustwor...thy and would fight for me and my sons. My situation was complex and he crafted a creative solution that helped me get what I needed and deserved. I cannot thank him enough. I've sent several friends to him as well.

Excellent Attorney! Very professional, strong in the courtroom, and willing to fight for his clients rights.

David represented me through a difficult divorce and child custody battle that lasted almost two years. I faced an uphill battle from the beginning because of many repeated false allegations against me. I always wanted equal rights as a parent and David helped me get this. David was always qu...ick to respond to any questions I had about case related issues. He is very accessable to his clients. During divorce, things can get very drawn out and there are times when things can become very stressful. David is very good about focusing on the things that are most important and he is able to provide peace of mind and reassurance throughout the process. He worked with the GAL and opposing counsel to ultimately find a middle ground that worked well for our family. He saved us a great amount financially by using negotiating strategies to ultimately get me the things I felt were most important. With David's help, I now have frequent time with my daughter and have equal say in decisions regarding our child. I appreciate all David did to assist me and my family during a difficult time.

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.
