This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ethical, knowledgeable, sharp, fair.

Although I would have preferred a mediated divorce, my ex wanted to fight it out with lawyers. I reluctantly asked around and, after false starts with others, landed in David Bodney's office. What a stroke of fortune. David's confident—but not cocky—demeanor granted me a much-needed measure of calm a...nd relief as he explained how things would go, with just the right level of detail. My divorce took almost two years to complete. Along the way were court filings, measures and counter-measures, court appearances (pre-Covid), a 3-hour deposition with my ex's attorneys, a re-start when she fired her attorneys and hired a new one, and finally a negotiated settlement just before the final court date. At each step of the process, David outlined what to expect, what was unpredictable, and what steps we could take to protect my interests and our kids. I felt expertly counseled. He was very efficient with his time and my money and I always felt that his interest was aligned with my own—to get through the process as quickly and fairly as possible. His staff was thorough and timely. Although he's a busy guy, he always found time to either answer my calls or respond quickly. I have nothing but good to say about David Bodney. A good friend had a very similar experience so there's another vote of confidence. Family law is a tough arena to operate in. David has the just the right touch for it.

Relief in a hard time

Separating from my wife was overwhelming. I felt as though I was lost and by myself in a foreign place. Luckily, a friend of a friend referred me to David. Instantly after meeting with David, I felt at ease. He has a calm, reassuring presence that was appreciated more than words can express. Through ...his help and expertise I was able to resolve my divorce in a fair, amicable way while still keeping my best interests in mind. If you are feeling the same way I was, contact David. During a time of a thousand hard choices, hiring David is one you will not regret.

One of San Luis Obispo's most promising family law attorneys!! What a score for this community !!

David Bodney helped represent me in an extremely difficult/high conflict divorce. He has the highest level of integrity. He is an extremely sharp, bright man. A person cannot go wrong with him on your team. He is a fair, honest person that respects and understands the court and family system ext...remely well. I am blessed to have had him on my team.
