Recommended by a wonderful friend!

David was an expert with my family issues and guided me through every step. I will recommend his services again and again!

Beware! Dont waste your time or money. Mr. Palmer was unable to help me due to case overload.

I went to the office of Scott Palmer but unfortunately he was very busy at the time. I was told Mr. Housel would able to assist me, but that was very bad mistake. I put a large amount of money into this divorce case, because of the good advice and promises that I thought were true. He made many mista...kes and did not know what seemed to be basic divorce procedures. Missed the deadline and had to refile at one point. Unbelievable!!! Now its all over and I'm stuck with bills he's still sending me, after he lost my case. He wont even answer my calls. Real piece of work, this David Housel is. Would only recommend to a very bad enemy!!!

David Housel - Excellent Divorce/Family Law Attorney - Highly recommend

David was able to get my divorce settled within a month. He went through the steps that could be taken in my divorce and always got my permission before proceeding with anything. He took my case that I had with a previous attorney. David was able to contact my ex's attorney the next day and get th...e document filed to retain him as my attorney that next day as well. When I made my appointment he got me right in. He is very good at what he does and knows family law very well. Without David, I would have had papers that weren't up to date. He is current with family law and was there for me and answered any question I had that same day. I recommend David to anyone that is going through a divorce. He is very personable and gets the job done. He eliminated stress and I am a much happier person now. Thank you David for an amazing job! I will recommend him to anyone that is going through a divorce.

Strong attorney who will fight for his clients

Mr. Housel worked to do everything he could that was in the best interest of my child. He is extremely knowledgeable with regards to Family Law. He has steered me in the right directions with when dealing with custody and child support by advising when to give and when to hold firm. I initially... hired Mr. Housel 3 year ago when looking to have my custody agreement revised. This was the best decision I made with regards to fighting custody rights and support. I continue to work with him whenever adjustments are needed. I would recommend Mr. Housel to anyone looking for a strong attorney that will fight for them.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I was looking for a strong Family Law attorney after being served for a custody battle and suffered a personal loss, and my friend referred me to David. David is the best. He immediately accomodated me on such a short notice. He is very detailed and thorough. My family and I felt a sense of trust..., constantly keeping me informed and very responsive to my questions. I have referred David to my close relatives, and he has done a great job. I consider him my family lawyer and will definitely hire him again.

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."

  • 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.
