About David
Biography
I have been representing family law clients in southern California for 15 years. I have successfully litigated many child custody,divorce, child support, spousal support, and guardianship issues in court. I have had many succesful outcomes in court. Many of my clients have had their child support lowered or I have gotten them big financial rewards. In divorce cases my clients have always received huge financial rewards and walked away with there equal share of the community property they were entitled. For grandparents I have successfully fought and won guardianship cases. Grandparents have been awarded custody of their grandchildren as a result.
