Hired to Fix Another Lawyer's Mistakes

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.

Mr. Housel represented my ex-husband in our divorce case. And yes, I recommend him!

David represented my ex-husband in our divorce case and I represented myself. It was a matter of difference in ability to pay for legal representation. I honestly kept expecting something bad to happen in the proceedings; some rug that would be pulled out from under me. David clearly had my husband...'s interests as his #1 priority; but he treated me professionally, kindly, and with respect. He was helpful, fair, prompt. He upheld legal and court ethics and was just a pleasant person. I was impressed by David and his team during a difficult time. I thought I'd let you all know - from the other spouse's side, especially if you want to have your divorce proceedings go smoothly and quickly for both parties.

BEST lawyer you could ask for

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.

Bulldog that will fight for your rights!

David and his team were extremely prompt in responding to my situation which required immediate action. With every interaction I felt that my case was important and received quick response every single time! Every email, text and call has been returned or responded to! Every time we went to court,... I had zero doubt that David would do everything in his power to make sure my rights were supported and heard by the court. David is extremely professional and will truly fight for what is right! I would strongly recommend David and his team if you are looking for someone that is not only up for the fight but looks forward to enforcing what is right. He truly cared about the outcome and the well being of me and my children's lives. David was also extremely honest with me about what could be any anticipated outcomes through the process of our situation which I appreciated! Having David on my side brought me confidence that I was finally being heard! He truly supported my wishes and made them a reality!

David Housel got the job done

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.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Housel and I worked together to help a couple of parents resolve their differences and put a good parenting plan in place. David advocated strongly for his client, but never let his own ego cause the case to blow up. He knew what was worth arguing about and what wasn't, and that is what distinguishes good attorneys from the rest. I look forward to working with David on other cases in the future."
