Adoption Review

David Lohman is our favorite lawyer EVER. He truly cares about the work he does and was there for us every step of the way in the adoption of our wonderful child. Every time we visited with him, he devoted all his attention and resources to fit our needs and desires. The best part was his communicati...on, he replies promptly to emails and phone calls or called us back right away. He kept us informed of what was going on with adoption, sent us emails and copies of everything that he filed with the courts, throughout the entire process! David is someone you can feel like you can trust and talk about anything. He is kind and understanding, and I don’t know what we would have done without him. We highly recommend him to anyone going through an adoption journey. With his superb communication, integrity, objectivity and professional knowledge of his work: he is the best person to help you. If there is anything, we need a lawyer for in the future we are going to contact David indefinitely. He is truly remarkable at what he does.

attorney with care, integrity and successful results

If you are looking for an attorney with integrity, genuine care for his client, attention to detail, commitment to high level of communication and successful results within a budget, Mr. Lohman is the right person to hire. As an individual with a law degree I would not hesitate to hire him just as I ...did for my own particular case. His representation provided me with peace of mind so that I would not have to worry about a quality job being done with the best potential results achieved. Mr. Lohman is the attorney to hire in Idaho!

Very thorough, very sharp about the law

David Lohman is such a wonderful attorney. The first time we hired him we were adopting our granddaughter. We have called him for advice on many occasions. We recently hired him on a sensitive matter. He was, as always, very thorough in his research. He was considerate of our feelings. He spent as mu...ch time with us as we needed. We always turn to him because he is so sharp about the law. We recommend him to all our friends.

SUPERB LEGAL COUNSEL IN NORTH IDAHO

Mr. David Lohman recently provided consistently high quality services on my behalf that ensured the most favorable legal outcomes possible. As my legal counsel, Mr. Lohman always exuded a thorough and vast understanding of all laws pertaining to my case, as well as their specific and practical applic...ation. Fastidiously detailed, he skillfully gathered and carefully studied all information and accounts to form my best legal strategy. Mr. Lohman's personal sensitivity to my individual situation, coupled with his focused dedication and sheer hard work, collectively instilled the confidence that I really needed and value. His unique ability to honestly and clearly communicate his legal expertise, both in and out of the courtroom, are hallmarks of his impeccable commitment to providing the best legal services in Coeur d' Alene, Kootenai County and to the greater North Idaho area. I don't hesitate one bit to recommend Mr. David Lohman.

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!!}
