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!

EXCELLENT FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

I reached out to David Housel and Scott Palmer Law when my previous lawyer was unable to provide me the support I needed for my case. David and his staff were quick to act and get me on the right path quickly with the court. His team's efforts allowed me to WIN my case and move forward with my life.... I would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone needing legal services.

Compassionate Listener, Respected and Approachable

David was recommended to me after months of attempting to navigate a divorce by myself. Immediately after the first consultation, I was reminded why we leave some things to professionals. He got a temperature on my situation, then gave me a solid and honest perspective and high-level plan of action. ...Without David, I would have been stuck in an endless back-and-forth of a manipulative and abusive relationship. He's clear, knowledgeable, and experienced. In addition, he may come off as soft-spoken and sweet at first, but he focuses on the FACTS of the LAW and that's where his "bite" exists. Knowledge truly IS power. Several months after my divorce was final, David is still personable and checks in to see how me and my kids are doing. As long as David Housel is practicing, I will be trusting him with my Family Law needs.

Great lawyer

David is a very caring lawyer who will do everything he can to help you in your case. My wife and I hired him two years ago and everything he said that would happen has come true. His experience and client relations are beyond words. I really recommend him for any family law issues you have.

Strong attorney

David took my case without hesitation. I was the custodial grandmother having issues with court ordered visitations as they related to a parent. The case was long and the parent made many mistakes along the way which David was quick to pick up on and communicated them effectively in court. He coached... me on my delivery in court which was helpful. He has a bite in the courtroom which is something you need. In the end we were able to terminate the parents rights...it even exceeded David's expectations. He made sure he advised us of all the things to expect even when they were not so positive...he wanted us to be prepared.

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."
