Divorce Settlement

David was excellent in helping me with my divorce settlement. He listened carefully to the issues I felt were most important to me and skillfully helped implement them into the agreement.

YOU NEED THIS GUY ON YOUR TEAM!

Please, trust me when I say you need to call David right now. If you hesitate and the other party gets this guy first you are going to regret it. {Call now!} I brought David a very difficult separation case that had very little actual law to guide him and the potential to bankrupt me. The other p...arty and I lived together for over a decade but were never actually married. This meant Idaho didn't see us as anything but a business partnership. Problem is, partnerships have paperwork and relationships don't. It was a huge mess that put my physical and monetary assets at risk. Combine that with claims that I had breached oral loan contracts for large sums of money and I stood to lose everything. All of the claims against me were nearly impossible to prove or disprove because it was a case of "he said, she said" which made the entire thing impossibly frustrating for me. The case carried on for more than 18 months. Due to some of the best research and tenacity I have ever witnessed (and I have a degree that requires a ton of research technique) David absolutely saved me. {Why haven't you called him yet?} David's meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of the law are the reasons I am not living in a box right now. He didn't just minimize the damage, he somehow prevailed in the case. {Stop reading and call him!} He is soft spoken, always polite, and goes out of his way to put you at ease...as long as he is on your side. David was always available when I had questions or concerns and made absolutely sure I was aware of what was going on at every stage of the process. His office manager is probably the nicest person I've ever met. She answers or returns calls in minutes not hours and is always up to speed on things. If I had five employees like her I could take over a small country. {Really?!} The other party couldn't do anything to get in front of this guy and changed lawyers three different times trying to find a worthy opponent. She came up short every time. I have given you some of the best advise I can. It is sprinkled with a bit of humor because I am thrilled with my decision to use this lawyer. He prevailed in a nearly impossible case. He saved my money, my sanity, and my reputation from someone that was attempting to take them all. I'd wish you luck, but you will only need it if the other party calls David first. {Last Chance!!}

Amazing Attorney!!!

David helped me through one of the toughest moments in my life. I went in panicked, and scared of losing my kids. David not only helped me through it, but he did it with such professionalism and understanding that I would go so far as to consider him a friend. He went above and beyond, and helped ...me keep the cost down as well. I got the custody agreement, and divorce that I wanted and needed. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone seeking an outstanding lawyer who exudes professionalism, kindness, caring, honesty and integrity.

Successful Representation in Family Law Case

I recently retained David Lohman to assist me in a family law matter. I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and demeanor. He successfully resolved my case within a time frame I did not believe possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Lohman to any person requiring ethical repres...entation.

Eternally Grateful to David Lohman

When my family asked me to adopt my nephew I wholeheartedly accepted the position as a father to this unborn child. I knew I needed a lawyer for this. David was there to start the process and to establish a guardianship for me so I could take him home from the hospital. Since then my guardianship ...has been challenged four separate times: twice by mom and twice more by dad. David has been steadfast guiding me through a sea of storms lasting two and a half years. He encouraged me along the way when it was difficult. Eventually he earned a judgment against mom and recovered thousands of dollars in attorney fees from her. During this time I worked closely with him and he listen to my ideas. He has protected my interest in this matter with great compassion for myself and in the best interest for my child. I think of him as wise, patient, experienced, and above all willing to advise me when I was wrong or needed to do something myself. David had great patients in handling this matter along with a wealth of knowledge of these laws and always acted in a professional manner when dealing with the courts. I am eternally grateful to Mr. Lohman (and his staff) and will always refer friends and family to him for all legal matters.
