Excellent Representation

David and his team helped me through a very difficult time with grace, efficiency and expertise; working with me and keeping me grounded through all of the twists and turns during the divorce process. David and his team always kept me informed and educated, enabling me to confidently make decisions. ...

Exceptional Lawyer!

We needed a family lawyer that could prevent our child being taken to live in another state by her mother. David was approachable and explained in detail what to expect. He got started right away on our case, and prepared us for everything. He truly made it effortless and he was great to work with! W...e highly recommend him!

Posted by Geoff | June 01, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Family

I'm an experienced lawyer. Hire David, if you can.

I've litigated various kinds of matters for 25 years, but I wasn't about to even try and handle my own family law matter, especially one that was as complex and difficult as ours (moving children out of state). That said, I know a good lawyer when I see one. Not only was David incredibly responsive..., but he was also thorough, easy to work with, prepared and -- most important -- had the kind of mature judgment that was needed to carefully thread the needle in our case to get the desired result. He left nothing on the table, but he also knew what issues were important and what truly needed to be communicated to the court. While I hope I never need his assistance again, should you have an important family law matter and if he is able to accept your case, you should thank your lucky stars because he and his entire team are truly the best I've ever come across. If I could give him more "stars," I would.

David & Best Law Firm

Back in 2018, I did research because my ex and I were not agreeable in anything when it came to our daughter. I contacted multiple law firms but Best Law Firm was the only one who actually listened to me. I made an appointment to have a consult. Before my consult I was served with a court document an...d I was extremely upset. Out of panic I called Best Law Firm and Stephen took the call at that time. I was a hysterical mess. Even before I became a client, they took the time over the phone to just calm me down and explain that everything would be okay and to bring the paperwork so they could exam it. This is how I knew they were different. Every other firm just saw me as another mother trying to take custody from my daughters father. This was absolutely not the case. The first consult I poured more emotions and told the story that lead to the, then, current situation. They heard my frustrations and reassured me that the 50/50 parenting plan I was asking for was not unreasonable in any way. After that, I signed paperwork to hire David as my attorney. Stephen was there as well but David came on as my attorney. Although it has been costly for me personally to obtain an attorney I have to say I am happy that I had David by my side. He did a good job keeping everything professional and dealing with not so great circumstances. I was just a mother trying to be fair and have 50/50 with my daughters father. My daughters father was fighting to have full custody with unjust reasons. David and his paralegal at that time, Kelly, listened and gave me options. He worked day and night on my case after I hired him. David at most times did most of the correspondence with my ex, which I was undoubtedly grateful for. David is knowledgeable in what he is doing and always gives you more than one explanation of how the situation can go. Being realistic is what he is about and he does not sugar coat what the outcomes can be but honestly prepares you in the best way possible and gives you a back plan when needed. David represented me in court and the judge ordered the 50/50 parenting plan I was fighting for. Since then, I have worked with another attorney in the same firm as my financial situation changed but David is always in the background like a little guardian angel. Options are always given no matter what and there is never pressure to do anything! Even changes in financial situations, David and the firm was able to help me choose the right path. So don't feel like it is out of reach if finances are an issue! I have had David and Best Law firm by my side and on speed dial since 2018 and I can tell you even to this day, 2 years later, I still feel as grateful as I did on day 1.

Hire Best Law Firm, trust me (Zack W.)

I came to and called David during the holidays and he was the only attorney to call me back at that time. Given the time of year, I assumed no one would call me back until the New Year. He did. I asked a lot of him for my divorce case, but he delivered on literally everything I needed. If you're r...eading this and need an attorney, I could not recommend him and Best Law Firm more. Handled everything timely, professionally and made my entire situation easy. Call them. Best Law Firm is named perfectly.
