David B Gates

I have no idea who is writing these reviews but they are not real. Literally I could have just represented myself and would have done a better job than what David did for me. He’s impossible to get ahold of, doesn’t read any papers submitted, knows nothing about the case and just sits there. Save you...rself the money and go to someone that’s referred by friends. Don’t even get me started on his “paralegal” Barbra.

David and his law firm were amazing for us. We were in the middle of a very high profile case with a lot of conflict fostered by the other party. He and his team handled this perfectly and got us everything we asked for in the final parenting plan. Further more he was able to close any loopholes in t...he PP when it was finished reducing the conflict from the other party keeping them from using the court system to abuse us. I would HIGHLY recommend David and his team for any family court issues. We will be certainly be using him again if needed in our future. He is priced accordingly and is worth every penny. 10 stars!

I entrusted David Gates with representing me in a child custody case. Although he did bill plenty of time to my account, I saw very little evidence of him actually spending time on my case. I had zero visibility into what he was doing or what the status of my case was, and it was virtually impossible... to get even basic answers from him. I was kept so uninformed of my case that I was completely unaware of court dates and documents filed with the court, some of which I leaned about for the first time when reviewing my case with his replacement. Hire this person at your own risk. You have been warned.

I hired David for a very simple matter. After 2 months and many phone calls/emails he still did not file anything for us or write ANY letters on our behalf. Our case just stalled while complications coming from the defense's side get piling up and making our case even harder. We finally after two mo...nths of him doing NOTHING, asked for our money back. After 3 1/2 months of still nothing filed or written on our behalf we got our money partially back.
