FRAUDULENT - UNRESPONSIVE - WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED FOR MONTHS

DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY - They will promise you a certain timeline and then do absolutely nothing to move the needle forward on your case. I hired David to take my divorce the final mile - he said he'd serve financial disclosures and draft something for the judge and explicitly stated that would ta...ke about 2 weeks and that I'd be divorced in about 6 weeks. From that conversation, I hired his firm same day and time (he literally forwarded me to have someone collect payment which is the efficient I've seen the office perform to date) and paid in full on 9/17/2025...it is now 11/13/2025 with NO PROGRESS. They have not served either me or my ex-spouse or provided with any update whatsoever unless it's literally demanded after weeks of ignoring me. I emailed on 10/8 asking for an update, heard back on 10/15 then nothing again until 11/4. I have been consistently met with silence and lack of action. This is fraud. I called on 9/15, 10/31, 11/4, 11/11 and 11/12 - No one has EVER called me back. I already filed a complaint with the State Bar of California. If you're here to express a similar experience, I suggest you do the same. (It's fairly easy to do) https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/complaint.

Great Attorney

I was fortunate to have David Foyil represent me in a family law matter. Mr. Foyil helped me determine what was in the best interest for my family and consistently steered me in the right direction for the best possible outcome. His knowledge, expertise in family law and overall confidence and attitu...de towards my situation made it apparent that we were well prepared for every issue or event that arose. Mr. Foyil and his team helped me stick to our plan, which in return allowed us to win my case. I’m very impressed with our final outcome. I later came back and had Mr. Foyil prepare estate documents for me. This process was quick and easy. Mr. Foyil explained the documents to me in a way that made sense. Mr. Foyil also help me resolve a civil dispute. I’ll always refer Mr. Foyil to anyone who is looking for an educated, straightforward and honest attorney.

Knowledgeable Attorney

I sent several people to Mr. Foyil for consultation and assistance with complicated matters. Mr. Foyil provided excellent legal advice and helped both people to resolve their complicated legal matters (a spousal support issue and a complicated probate). Mr. Foyil is extremely knowledgeable and exp...lains legal issues clearly.

Client

My husband has been a client of this firm for now over 4 years. This law firm worked on his family law matters and now representing civil cases. We are very happy with the service. David Foyil and his team dealt with very challenging matters on our behalf and continuously provided advocacy and supp...ort for our family. Would highly recommend this firm.

All Money and No Results Yet

I hired Atty Foyil to serve as my divorce lawyer in February 2022 after my husband walked out from our matrimonial home. He has yet to show any results from all the money he has received. I am in a financial bind and he is taking too long for all the steps to be done. His staff never seem to reall...y understand me and I have called and left emails so many tines without any follow up or quick action or answers to my concerns. The service from this office is definately not worth rhe money.
