If you find yourself contemplating separation, consult David before taking further action. I wished I retained him earlier. In my case David was able to quickly repair the damage done previously, with speedy and successful court action that allowed a significant increase of time with my child which is priceless. David is competent, reliable, responds quickly, knowledgeable in matters of family court (he’s a certified family law specialist), and bills accurately. He’s fair, professional, realistic, looks out for the best interest of the involved parties, and he’s exceptional in presenting his case during negotiations and in court.

David Erb is an absolutely fantastic Bay Area divorce attorney. He made this difficult and emotional legal process smooth and straightforward, and I got the settelement I wanted. David gives great advice, bills accurately and ethically, and comes up with excellent strategies. David is easy to reach by phone and by email. He listened to me about what I wanted and did not want and created and implemented a settlement negotiation strategy accordingly. He explained to me the complicated legal divorce process every step of the way so I would know what was going to happen, with no surprises. Finally, I appreciated how budget-conscious David was during the process. He advised me of the cost implications of the different decisions I could make, and I never felt like he was taking advantage of me for money. His paralegal, Noah Avalos, is also top-notch. Noah is very organized and responsive on email. Both men were great to work with. Thankfully, I was able to settle my divorce without going to court. I would refer him to anyone I know planning to divorce.

I had the opportunity to hire David as my divorce attorney in 2019 continuing into 2020. The state of California is clear that it is an equal opportunity state regarding spousal support and who should receive it, whether you feel they are worthy or not. As a woman with a career in a highly competitive environment, I was extremely tied to the emotional aspect of having to provide supplementary income to my ex-husband, who was unemployed by choice. David was able to negotiate for me and do what was fair for both of us, but ensuring that I felt good about what I needed to provide as compensation to my ex. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and was available when I had questions or concerns. He worked in my best interest and was an absolute pleasure in a very unpleasant process. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of terminating a marriage, I highly recommend hiring David and his team to support you in your process.

David is professional, to-the-point, and impressively responsive to my communications. He has demonstrated genuine interest in my case, notably starting one of our calls saying, "While I was thinking about your case this weekend.." I appreciate his pragmatism and that he is not just another attorney promising the moon to potential clients in order to win their business. I can't recommend his services enough.

David handled my case with care and expeditiously. Whenever I contacted him or someone on his team, they were very responsive. I highly recommend him for complicated family court matters.

David is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, smart and ethical. His team includes paralegal Season and associate Linda, both are phenomenally organized, sympathetic and are true extension of David’s professional qualities. David is strategic and methodical in the negotiations and in the court. I’ve been honored to be presented by him and the solution he’s been able to work out in my case is the best I could have wished for.

I strongly recommend David. He came highly recommended to me by two other attorneys. He has helped guide and support me through what has been an extremely challenging and stressful time. He has been very responsive, empathetic and respectful, providing excellent and candid guidance, whilst always trying to minimize costs. I had separate property claims and real estate holdings, and David helped me to navigate the best course throughout the divorce process, developing and implementing effective strategies

I fortuitously found David through an Internet search. This is my second divorce and was so distraught at the beginning of the process that I was not focusing and was very unsure. David gave me the strength and support to stand on my own feet and focus, make logical and strategic decisions while trying to make this process as economical as possible! All this while being respectful, empathetic, knowledgeable, quick, HONEST and ETHICAL! A very different approach from my first divorce. This was a very emotionally charged situation and David and his team were my guardians. He never backed down and did not put up with any nonsense but all in a very professional and respectful way. His associate, Linda, is so empathetic and articulate yet at the same time is made of steel! Both of them work quickly and seamlessly together to make the process move forward efficiently. Season is an ace paralegal and is also a very compassionate listener. Speaking to her during the intake process was why I hired David in the first place. Once I did, I could not have been happier! During such an emotionally tumultuous process, I felt cared for and supported and respected. They immediately follow up with you and keep you informed of progress in your case (even after hours and on the weekends in my case!). Though they deal with much larger and more complex cases than mine, I was treated with the same amount of attention, responsiveness and respect. I am forever grateful to David and his team for fighting for me and giving me my life back.

David has been excellent in handling my case. My case has quite some complication around the child custody while the opposing counsel is terrible in terms of the legal knowledge and experience which leads to a lot of false expectation and wasted time & resources. In my case, David is always on top of everything and provides great insight and valuable advices. Extremely happy from working with him.

David was so key to helping me deal with my second round of divorce proceedings. Our first round was handled in a manner that was open for argumentation and David helped guide me in the right direction to make the best decisions for my children and the most workable solution with my prior spouse.
