David Payne Housel Jr.

David Housel was actually my second attorney. My first attorney just wasn’t fighting for me the way I needed. By coincidence and luck, I came across David through two separate referrals—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. He stepped in during the middle of a grueling 2.5-...year divorce battle. From day one, he believed in me, gave me clear direction, and fought with unwavering determination. In the end, David secured the outcome I had only hoped for: full rights to my child. He was honest, relentless, and never once backed down. If you’re facing a difficult legal fight, you want David in your corner. I’ll always be deeply grateful for his work and the results he delivered.

Mr. Housel represented my ex-husband in our divorce processing. He was let go prior to the last hearing this year 2024. Come to find out my ex-husband disclosed to the court and Judge that Mr. Housel purposely did not follow his instructions and did not communicate why we were in court. According to ...my ex Mr. Housel was purposely delaying the entire process to bill hours. Court transcripts will confirm my review.

David represented me in a divorce case that involved a child. I am a very detailed person and I like to be educated and informed of all of my options before moving forward. I had a consultation with David once and he was very upfront about how getting what I wanted with my child was highly unlikely g...iven the circumstances. As time went on and circumstances changed, he was quick to act and assured me that me and my child would be safe. He is a licensed counselor and knows what he's talking about. He has been forward thinking and educates me on potential outcomes in the future. My divorce was finalized in fall of 2019, and he has still been very supportive and informative of my options when I've had concerns about mine and my son's safety physically, mentally, and emotionally. I feel he truly wants to protect his clients and has their best interest in mind.

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.

I recently went through divorce and had David recommended to me by an attorney with whom I trust implicitly. The recommending attorney is not easily impressed with anything, and she had no reservations about sending me his way, saying “He’s about the only family law guy I would recommend.” High prais...e, indeed. David did nothing but reaffirm her faith, as he was terrific to deal with in every way. He was collaborative, honest, open, forthright and helpful through every phase of my proceeding. And as anyone going through this process could appreciate, he was very respectful of my time and the retainer dynamic. There was no wasted time, feet dragging or any of the nightmarish stuff you hear about happening. I had prepared myself for a long process, but David was able to land the plane in short order, which was greatly appreciated. I would tell all my friends who have the misfortune of dealing with a divorce to trust David to get them through a tough emotional situation quickly and with a minimum of hassle.
