Divorce and family matters

David is a very knowledgeable Attorney in Family Law. He is a very straight forward and caring person. While with David I felt like my situation was personnel to him. He always gave me the best advise and was always able to weigh risk vs benefits. I have recommended him to family and friends. When he... was dealing with my family member the best possible solution was made for a very difficult situation. Without his help, my family member would not have any time with his child. If you are looking for someone to stand up for you, hire David!

David was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive in communication. I was very satisfied with the handling of my case (dismissed) , and would recommend David to anyone who is looking for great counsel at a very reasonable price. 5 stars from me

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.
