Please work another attorney or do it yourself. You can get better results and save yourself the headache!

Hired David for some estate planning. His strategy was poor and deliverable poor and messy legal results, costed me a lot more money and headache than if I were to do it myself. David positioned himself as charging lower fees than big law firms (and to win your trust), but would then charge fees... and bill for hours that are sometimes even higher than big law firms for similar jobs, without the performance anywhere near that. I should've just done everything myself, instead of listening to his "strategies". When I questioned him with the poor results and asked him to fix it, he was defensive and not helpful and said he would help ONLY if I paid him more fees. I got disgusted and walked away...

Had to hire another lawyer to clean up his mess.

We hired David for a business transaction. Very bad performance. Very rude and non-communicative immediately after I signed the contracts. His emails and documents are full of typos and grammatical errors. Needless to say, the outcome was poor and we lost the deal. Then to add insult to injury, he tr...ied to shift the blame of the outcome to us. I find this to be a highly unethical behavior. We had to hire another lawyer just to clean up the mess he created. I would never hire David T. Lyons again, even if he PAID me!! It's a miracle how this guy stayed in business for so long. There are tons of other more competent lawyers in the area, Do yourself a favor and avoid him at all cost!!

This man betrayed our trust. Do not sign anything with him

We hired Mr. Lyons for the sale of business for the estate and that's when our nightmare started. Mr. Lyons has been in control of our profits from the sale of our real property for over 2 years and has been consistently taking money out for himself in terms of made-up fees (to the tune of over $1...00,000). He tricked us to sign a power of attorney and been enriching himself ever since. He continues to make up excuses and to refuse to release our portion of the proceeds. It’s an unfortunate situation that he betrayed our trust. I would not recommend him to anyone.
