David Payne Housel Jr.

David represented me in a divorce case that involved a child. I am a very detailed person and I like to be educated and informed of all of my options before moving forward. I had a consultation with David once and he was very upfront about how getting what I wanted with my child was highly unlikely g...iven the circumstances. As time went on and circumstances changed, he was quick to act and assured me that me and my child would be safe. He is a licensed counselor and knows what he's talking about. He has been forward thinking and educates me on potential outcomes in the future. My divorce was finalized in fall of 2019, and he has still been very supportive and informative of my options when I've had concerns about mine and my son's safety physically, mentally, and emotionally. I feel he truly wants to protect his clients and has their best interest in mind.

Writing this review in an effort to help others. I would not recommend this lawyer. He failed me. He failed to accurately assess and communicate to the court my spouses income. I am now left with less child support for years to come. Important details were left out on documents on multiple occasions.... He even left former client names, addresses, children's names on my documents but then had no problem charging me for the time to create the documents. It was obvious these were direct pickups of other client documents. He arranged for my child to live in specific areas during the temporary orders then told me that I could not fight for the standard living arrangement that most people receive which is DFW and surrounding areas because I had already agreed to the specific areas during the temporary orders. He and his paralegal were very nice during initial and subsequent meetings. Both became rude later on after I signed on with them. One visit to the office while I was waiting, Mykah (his main paralegal) came to get me and greeted me by pointing her finger at me and yelled, "YOU, COME WITH ME."

I had retained another attorney as an exploratory situation. She had my husband served after I asked her not to, and the papers were filled with evil lies about him. When I asked her to nonsuit the case once I saw the papers she had him served with, she blatantly refused to help me. A friend of mine ...found David on Google and I am so glad that she did. He had the entire case nonsuited in less than a week and wrote an amazing letter to my husband explaining that she did what she did without my knowledge or consent. Finally, a lawyer that actually cares for the people they represent.

Davis Housel and his team where a beacon of hope to me when I felt the likely hood of a positive outcome was next to impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor helped me get through my situation. David and his team made themselves availab...le ANY time I needed so I knew I was not alone in the process. David reassured me that him and his team will do anything in his power to be by my side and help me get through the legal process. My child and I are eternally grateful for David and his teams service. I would recommend David without hesitation to anyone I know.

We were in a situation that required fast professional guidance and action. Immediately upon meeting with David he and his team got to work within hours. They were available responsively via phone, text and email and kept us informed along the way. When it came time for court everything was alre...ady addressed and ready to go we were in and out in 5 minutes. Highly recommend him and the firm to anyone needing help.
