David Payne Housel Jr.

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.

Facing a divorce, I hired a local firm, after almost a year without any progress, I decided to call David Housel. He jumped into my case with both feet, he researched and was always prepared. There was a patent on the line, along with my company. We won our case in appelate court after two bouts i...n mediation with no settlement. David was there to answer any questions - anytime. If in court he would always follow up promply. My divorce was very expensive - but the end results were great - I thank God.
