An ethically upstanding Lawyer!

I know--that title seems paradoxical! But it fits in the case of David Banks. He assisted me with filing an RTO in a very contentious domestic partner situation. He held to the highest ethical standards, was professional, knowledgeable, sage, and calm (dealing with difficult issues). Best of all,... he got the job done and was refreshingly mindful of keeping costs contained. I recommend him without reservation.

Excellent at his job!

David has been my attorney for roughly 3 years. I hired him to help me through some issues regarding divorce and custody. He has done a great job listening, explaining, responding and always being there when I need him. Great guy and provides a great service. Thank You David!

Calm Helping Hand in Trying Time

David Banks was my divorce attorney. My ex and I have four children together and the divorce process was very difficult. Mr. Banks calm approach helped me to remain calm. He was able to clearly explain difficult realities and guide me in protecting my interests and those of my children. Mr. Banks... is an honorable man - a very difficult type to find in this profession. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a family lawyer.

Great Attorney

I hired David to handle my divorce. He was kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He was very accessible--he was easy to make appointments with and he always responded to my emails/phone calls in a timely manner. I felt like he listened to me and he never rushed me through our a...ppointments. I would definitely recommend him.

Talented Advocate for Parent Rights!

I am a noncustodial parent who has struggled for a couple years to gain visitation rights with my daughter. Once I hired David Banks as my legal counsel, my whole case immediately improved with gaining rights to visit my daughter one full weekend a month. He still provides exceptional guidance as I ...gain more and more time with her. He patiently answers my questions and interprets family law specifics so I better understand them. Wherever we have a hearing, he is well prepared beforehand and goes over everything with me in detail to assure me that everything will be fine. I will continue to retain David's services and representation throughout the remainder of my case as his expertise and willingness to ensure that my rights are defended is invaluable. Thank you David for taking the time and personal dedication towards my case that has allowed my family and me greater opportunities to be apart of my daughter's life. Your very satisfied client!
