Posted by Stephanie | September 21, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Family

He made "the impossible" happen for me and my children.

I found myself in an awful situation in my marriage that left me not knowing where my children were for seven months. My husband at the time was dating a family law paralegal that coached him on how to get custody of my kids. I was turned down by two family law attorneys before I met with David Hou...sel. He was very honest with me about my situation and told me that I had an almost impossible case to win. He said he saw something in me and agreed to take my case. He was tough, and at times I thought he didn't care. He coached me on collecting information and told me how to get myself prepared for court. I took his advice and when I went to court I ended up getting my kids against all odds. This man was a bulldog in the court room and I could never show him how much I appreciate what he did for me. If you hire him and listen to him and do your part, you will not be disappointed. I have recommended many people to him too many people over the years and they have all been very pleased.

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!!!

The man to go to

I been in divorce/child support court more times that i wish to admit, I hired my share of attorneys and they always let me down. he is fixing something that nobody else could in the past 5 years. If you are in need of an Attorney in Denton County then Att. David Housel is the man to go to, don't loo...k any further, you'll be glad you hired him.

Great lawyer

Well I went through a messy divorce and changed lawyers do to county and wanting/needing more of a fighter. David housel is wonderful and truly cares about his clients. He kept me in the know always and can be a fighter if need be. I was happy to have had him represent me during such a fragile time ...in my life.

Family lawyer | Apr 12

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."

  • 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.
