My Best Decision - Calling David

If you are facing a divorce and in despair or terrified, I recommend you call David immediately. I was a basket case when we met and yet he was able to analyze the situation with compassion and keep me grounded in reality. My best advice is to TRUST HIM. You will have endless worst-case scenarios ...consuming your thoughts that are a complete waste of your energy. Listen to David! He kept my head in the game and set forth a successful strategy in a time when I was too emotionally broken to make decisions. He is also experienced in dealing with narcissism which falls on deaf ears with most divorce lawyers. Please give him a call and take your next steps towards peace.

Honest and Direct

I spoke to Mr. Eaker just this morning. I felt heard and he was direct and honest with me. He gave me sound advice and if I should need a lawyer in the future he would be the one I call.

Original & Real!!!

In May 2022, I was surprisingly being sued for a man who claimed a 20 yr common law marriage with me. My search for an attorney was even more difficult trying to find someone experienced in proving Non common law marriages. I spoke to a dozen attorneys. Mr. Ecker was far most the most pleasant, rea...l, detailed and spent an hour on the phone with me making me laugh and feel that he and joyed the challenge of these difficult cases, free!!! I sincerely felt Mr. Eaker loves his career unlike other Scam, lying Attorney’s that condescendingly give you the time of day after $500 deposit. Disclosure: Mr. Eaker Commonly may charge for consultations however it was a blessing just to get him at a perfect time and very well well worth the conversation. Highly Recommend Mr. Eaker
