About David
Biography
Throughout my practice as an attorney, I have had the opportunity to have much experience in several courtrooms in several states, regarding several types of law, ranging from family, criminal, nursing home abuse, labor and employment, medical malpractice, and general civil litigation. As an attorney, I see myself as having two roles: legal counselor and legal litigator. As a counselor, I help people understand their legal rights and how the legal system works. I will assist you through the process, which can often be traumatic and complex. I will help you through the complex legal system as it is unruly for those who do not practice in it every day. I will be your representative and your voice each and every step of the way. Every step of the way, I advise my clients what I am doing and why. As a practice, I offer the “Devil’s Advocate” perspective as well, as it is important to know exactly what to expect in court and/or from the opposing party. I believe that candidness is crucial in an honest working relationship and will ensure that you will be as aware of everything involved in your case as I am. Each case is unique and has to be handled differently, that is the difference you get when I am your attorney.

Extremely Satisfied
David was professional and very knowledgeable in my quest to enforce spousal support. He never gave up and kept me informed of every step he was taking and the purpose behind it.

Best decision I have made
From the start David was honest, direct, and aggressive. To me that is everything you need in an attorney. The cherry on top for me was that my ex did not like him.

Great Attorney
David Goldfarb was referred to me by a friend when my now ex-husband filed for divorce. David was to the point and thorough with regard to what I needed to do in order to get a fair settlement.
