This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ms.

I have worked with many attorneys in my career. David Kazen is a phenomenal attorney and very well versed in his career. He sees his clients a human beings and not as dollar signs like the majority of family lawyers out there. He knows the law and quotes case law when he drafts up a motion. David is ...the type of lawyer I want protecting me and my family. His paralegal, Mary is an amazing woman and well educated in family law. I couldn’t have hired a better attorney in the Austin area. David did the job he was hired to do and he even refunded me some of my retainer fee, which is very unheard of in family law. He is a top notch and ethical attorney. I highly recommend him!

Highly Recommend David Kazen

David is an excellent attorney who helped me through a difficult time with his wise and patient counsel. Family law can be a highly charged emotional process, and David calmly guided me through the options available within the legal system.

David Kazen divorce attorney review

I hired David Kazen as my divorce attorney. It was important to me that he was a good person and that he would follow what I wanted to happen within the divorce while at the same time being prepared to fight for me if needed. David exceeded my expectations and helped to achieve what was most importan...t to me in my settlement. I would highly recommend David to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Easy Peasy

Divorce sucks, but these guys were great. My ex and I had all our stuff figured out before we showed up and David made sure everything we wanted was executed perfectly. These guys made the process very easy.

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.
