Review David Alexander Yomtov

Thank You Mr. Yomtov

I CANNOT even begin to describe how grateful and appreciative I am to have had Mr. David Yomtov as my attorney. David Yomtov not only provided me with legal representation, he was my mentor and advocate. By his actions, David Yomtov made me feel as though, no matter what the outcome, HE did everything he could do to represent me. My case was extremely unique, challenging, and complex. Mr. Yomtov accepted my case and dove in head-first ready to face all the obstacles and challenges. Mr. Yomtov did more research than EVER expected and if felt like he handled my case as if it were personal to him. When I needed to make difficult decisions regarding my case, such as settling or going to trial, David Yomtov allowed me to make my choices and feel comfortable with my decisions and assured me that he supported my decisions 100% all the way until the end. Mr. Yomtov stuck by my side with whatever choices I made and he kept pushing forward representing me. I felt confident with David Yomtov as my attorney and not only as my attorney but also as my mentor and advocate. When I was nervous in depositons or court hearings, David Yomtov minimized those negative feelings and made me feel safe and confident. His passion for what he does shines through his work and his knowledge is impeccable. David Yomtov is an exceptional attorney, a bold, confident go-getter, and a wonderful understanding human being . This legal matter was stressful and took a big toll on me and having David Yomtov as my attorney was relieving and a complete blessing! Words CANNOT and WILL NOT ever justify how thankful and blessed I am to have had Mr. David Yomtov representing me and by my side though this most challenging legal matter and one of the most difficult and stressful time of my life. BTW; He won my case :)

David helped me through my divorce and custody case. He was very diligent, trustworthy and helpful to say the least. He filled me in on the process and the best way to handle the situation and that's exactly how it turned out. I would've been lost without his help. He's s great lawyer for a reasonable price.

David solved a big problem for me. He advised me and my friend that all our tension related to the legal scenario just disappeared.

David and his team were instrumental in getting me across safely across a process that stretched out several years. I was always met with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and integrity. David never hesitated to speak his mind and always checked in on how I was doing. The entire duration of my brush with family law was a blur of heightened painful emotions, and on many occasions, I wanted to give in and go back home. However, David kept me going, educating me on my rights as a parent, the limitations of family law, and prudent advice on how to make the most of it. If you are a decent person who wants a fair outcome and wants peace of mind knowing you have done all you can, please reach out to him and his executive assistant Susan. I remember how Susan always put me at ease and helped me calm, no matter how frazzled and spaced out I arrived. You will not regret it. This team was genuinely happy for me when all was resolved in Jan 2018.

David is an outstanding lawyer. He guided me through the entire process by setting realistic expectations by being transparent and honest. He always kept me up to date, discussed options, and shared all documentation with me. I never felt like I was in the dark. He cares and always made me feel like a priority, even when I called unexpectedly for a last minute requests, he and his team (e.g., Susan) always made time for me. I never felt like there were any unexpected surprises in billing even when my case became, at times, more complicated and time consuming. He was a pleasure to work with and we were able to reach an agreement that was fair to both parties, I could not have gotten there without David's expertise, perseverance, and tact. David has always shown genuine interest in my well-being and my case. He is an extremely caring, personable, and professional lawyer. Without a doubt, I highly recommend David Yomtov.

From the moment I met David Yomtov, he was very realistic about what I could expect with the outcome of the case. He remained honest throughout and maintained integrity and accountability as he managed my case. David was there when I needed him and was very supportive and promptly responded to my emails and any concerns that I had.

Was having major problems with my x wife not signing court ordered papers concerning my pension. David was great explaining this to the judge. I would definitely use him again. This was the second time I used the firm. The first was a 13 year devorse case that my wife wouldn't sign anything.

I found David Yomtov through this site in autumn of 2018. Since that time he has dealt handily with the unending issues regarding my delayed divorce settlement. No matter what my ex's lawyers throw at me, David is prepared to see it through. Having him in my corner, along with his extremely kind and helpful paralegal, is the only thing that has gotten me through so far. David is straightforward, blunt, knowledgeable and skilled, and I highly recommend him.

Provided invaluable assistance for a DV case brought by someone who had no business doing so. The case was dismissed (with prejudice) along with a companion case that was even flimsier. Neither survived any scrutiny, and that was due to the preparation and advocacy of Mr. Yomtov, not only for the immediate litigation but also for the potential next steps in the process. He is professional and a class act and I would clearly prefer that he was in my corner.

David did an excellent job for me in a very complicated and heated divorce proceeding. The one thing that I learned with having David represent me is that there are some things the law requires and if the other party asks for things under the law, get comfortable with it and try to minimize the damage. David made great efforts to accommodate my work schedule for our appointments and always told me like it was. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear...but still needed to hear it. My divorce is well past me. In the midst and thick of the process, I was frustrated and emotional. After it was all over, I was really able to see how much David helped me manage the best that I could through a difficult time.
