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.

David Housel was referred to me by family friend. When I reached out to him, I desperately needed someone who was going to fight for my family. He did not disappoint. He listened to all the information provided. Analyzed it. Knew the law well. And executed a plan of action that provided the best ou...tcome for my family. We owe him everything.

I hired David to represent us with problems with an ex. First of all, he sends paperwork to the opposing attorney had his old clients names on it! That should have told us what we needed to know. ***His “advise” does nothing to resolve the matter, and only causes you to continue to go through him ...which hikes up your bill. He jumps to conclusions and doesn’t listen. His actions and language toward the ex’s counsel doesn’t work to resolve or work in your benefit either. It angers the opposition and looks horrible in court! Frankly, he is arrogant and for no reason. If you are a woman, stay away from this guy. He will make promises and only make your problems worse. Scott Palmer needs to remove this guy.

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!!!

Writing this review in an effort to help others. I would not recommend this lawyer. He failed me. He failed to accurately assess and communicate to the court my spouses income. I am now left with less child support for years to come. Important details were left out on documents on multiple occasions.... He even left former client names, addresses, children's names on my documents but then had no problem charging me for the time to create the documents. It was obvious these were direct pickups of other client documents. He arranged for my child to live in specific areas during the temporary orders then told me that I could not fight for the standard living arrangement that most people receive which is DFW and surrounding areas because I had already agreed to the specific areas during the temporary orders. He and his paralegal were very nice during initial and subsequent meetings. Both became rude later on after I signed on with them. One visit to the office while I was waiting, Mykah (his main paralegal) came to get me and greeted me by pointing her finger at me and yelled, "YOU, COME WITH ME."
