David Leon Mann

I agree with a lot of reviews on here...it's been a few years now since I made the HORRIBLE decision in choosing this man as my divorce attorney. Going through such a horrible situation at the time & dealing with an ex that was addicted to drugs, I sat there sobbing while he suggested my ex-husband ...(after 7 years of marriage) have custody rights over my son. HELLO!?!! There is a reason I don't want him to have any rights to my child! He is a horrible, sleazy attorney who is just after your money. If you are expecting ANY kind of empathy from this man over your case - forget about it. He will only make your life 100x worse than what it may already be! I've never received a dime of child support from my ex-husband & have since gone to another attorney to take away all of my exes legal rights. My advice is to listen to these reviews & find a better attorney out there!!!

Has no business dealing in high conflict divorces, let alone family law. Never available for questions. Not prepared for court. Showed up late. Left our file at his office. Didn't recognize us even though we had been to his office and been to court with him several times before. Changed the name of h...is law firm several times while we were clients. Even changed office locations and failed to inform us. His cell phone number is constantly being changed. Office phones never work. Email doesn't work. They tell you the best way to get a response is to email, but emails are returned weeks later, if at all. We had several emergency situations (police involvement during exchanges, mother denying visitation, mother picking kids up from school when it's not her time) and he was always unavailable. Calls were returned days later, if at all. His staff is not knowledgeable and the office is a revolving door. He was not knowledgeable in family law. One of his selling points was that he clerked for our judge, but he never had anything prepared the way she liked it. Never presented it the way she liked it. We had to pay the ex thousands of dollars because he told us several times there were things we didn't have to file or documents we didn't have to produce or he added unsubstantiated claims to motions and the judge felt it 'harassed' the other side.

DO NOT GO TO HIM! He only does what is good for himself. If he has to fight in court against another attorney who happens to be his friend, he will find a way to settle rather than doing what is right for the client. My friend and her ex-husband were in a custody battle and her ex's attorney was fri...ends with Mr. Mann. She should have gotten custody but he did not want to argue for hours in court with his good buddy, Mark Smith. Not only this, HE WAS MAKING PASSES AT HER! She even brought her current fiancee to a few meetings and he still would send inappropriate text messages. He would constantly cancel appointments and was usually always late for court. When he finally made it to the court dates he had to be refreshed on the case by my friend. Then once he started hitting on her he definitely remembered her but STILL had to be refreshed on the case before every court hearing. Steer clear of this guy and his company. Also, I would steer clear of Mark Smith as well.

Worst lawyer ever! Will give you wrong legal advice as well as lie in court regarding your case "just to win"! He is money hungry! Would never return a phone call nor let me know what was going on with my case but the second we walked out of court his "financial" named James blew up my phone for FUT...URE payments! When you bring up to him that he is in the wrong he will say your harassing him & start treating you as well as going to court to lie saying he fears for his life to get a TPO just to TEAR YOUR LIFE APART! This man should be ashamed as a person & need his licence TAKEN AWAY! I recommend NO CONTACT with this man!

Worst lawyer ever. Very unethical. Who drops a "Evidential Hearing 3 days before trial" and leaves a single, unemployed mother to walk in to court and loose! Said would take payments then never produced documents to be signed. Never knew the exact details of the case and went in to court the first t...ime and attacked my ex husband on things that weren't true because he didn't have his facts straight. Filed complaint with the bar. Check all websites that review David Mann and stay away.......
