Best divorce lawyer!

David is a true professional at its finest! He was not only professional but he was nice, funny, and super responsive. I was at a time where I couldn’t afford much but I needed this divorce, BADLY! I had contacted many lawyers, and David was the only one to tell “yes let’s do this”. I went into his o...ffice, filled out the paperwork, and today 3 months later I’m done! Thank you so much David!!

Simply the Best

I worked for David as a legal assistant for about a year and a half. I did not know David beforehand. My friend had hired him for her divorce and she was impressed by his character. When I interviewed with David, I was immediately impressed by him and his upfront and honest attitude. He will not tell... you what you want to hear just to blow smoke up your skirt; he will tell you what needs to be said, whether you like it or not. Having gone through four different attorneys during my husband’s custody case with his ex-wife, I came to realize how important that is and how rare that trait is to find in attorneys. David is never out to make a “quick buck” and screw you over on billing, as I have seen other attorneys do. He is extremely knowledgeable and will defend his clients with the upmost integrity. My husband hired David to complete his custody case after seeing how impressed with him I was. Sadly enough, my husband and I are now going through a divorce and I cannot hire David, as that would create a conflict since he previously represented my husband. I have hired another attorney for my divorce and although he is good, he does not represent me as well as I know David would. I would recommend David to anyone going through a divorce or custody case- especially if there is high conflict. His knowledge, persistence, and punctuality cannot be beaten.

Dificult Divorce - Great Results!

David was a great help in a very hostile situation. My ex-wife was out for blood. She used the internet and other avenues to defame and harass during our separation and divorce. David was able to guide me through the worst time of my life with a great result. In the past, I have had zero luck in Utah... for competent and inexpensive legal help. David provided both, his legal advice was thorough and his price was right. If you are a male going through a divorce in Utah, David is the best for you.

From out of state

I would highly recommend David to anyone in need of legal services. I am out of state & needed to come to Utah to deal with some legal matters. form day one his professionalism and knowledge in his field of work came though over the phone. I had to come out to Utah on three court appearances and each... and every time he was there on time and prepared. David thank you for representing me and giving me a sense of stability and peace of mind for the future. If you are looking for legal representation and come across David’s page please give his office a call, he did a tremendous job with my case. David my endless gratitude for all your help.

GREAT DEDICATED ATTORNEY!!! I WISH I HAD HIM AT THE BEGINNING!

David is an awesome attorney. My Private Investigator recommended him to me. I wish I had him at the beginning of my High Conflict Divorce/Custody battle because I feel that he would've done A LOT better job representing me than my previous attorney did. That being said, when I decided to find new co...unsel, I had a huge mess left and was in the middle of a nasty custody dispute and needed a letter sent that same day. David got right to work on my case, worked late into a Friday night and got everything sent in time. He has been very aggressive in representing me and I have been very happy with the results thus far. He won't "sugar coat" or "tell you what you want to hear" with what is happening in the case and is very straight forward and realistic with what he thinks can and cannot be done; with not only me but everyone involved in the case. He is very prompt at returning phone calls, emails and filing everything that needs to be filed. He is very dedicated and will work late hours to get the job done. I have received phone calls from him late evenings regarding my case. He also doesn't nickel and dime you for every little thing he does which is nice. I recommend David to anyone that is going through a divorce/custody battle, especially if it's high conflict. You will be well represented.

"I endorse this lawyer. He has handled several of my own clients' divorces and family law matters. David takes each case seriously, and is an aggressive attorney. Simply stated, he gets the job done and he does it right. I would not hesitate to refer my own clients to him, since I do not do divorce or family law cases, and my clients recommend him as well."
