Highly recommend

I have so much respect for David Housel and would highly recommend him to anyone. I hired him thinking I was going in to a high conflict custody modification and he went out of his was to calm me down and talk me through my problems. Luckily my ex and I were able to come to an agreement outside of co...urt, but we wouldn’t have if it weren’t for David’s advice. If I ever have any problems in the future he will be my first call. Great guy!!!

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.

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.

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.

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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
