David Davidson has my full endorsement as the BEST divorce attorney in Macomb County. I felt completely confident being represented by him throughout my 10-month divorce proceeding, which ultimately ended up in a settlement the day of the trial. He truly knows his stuff, and his tenacity and fierce negotiating skills assured an outcome that I am extremely pleased with and exceeded my expectations. He is an exceptionally skilled attorney, and his expertise ensured that he was always steps ahead of opposing counsel. He is thorough, well-prepared, and very responsive in returning phone calls and answering requests for information. There is no one else I would want to represent me in a divorce other than David Dawson.

I was just recently divorced, Mr. Dawson and his firm made everything extremely smooth, clear and highly affordable. I would undoubtedly recommend his practice to anyone looking for legal services in family law or divorce. Both Mr. Dawson & his legal assistant Shara, are quit responsive, friendly and informative with any questions you may have.

I came to mr Dawson from a previous attorney after the first hearing was held. I was going through a custody battle, no divorce and Mr Dawson, Shara, and the rest of the team worked very hard to learn everything about my situation and to help me get a better outcome. They always welcomed questions and helped me ease my nerves before hearings. Mr Dawson is very knowledgeable and well experienced in this field. One thing I always appreciated is that he is very upfront over what is realistic to achieve so I won’t get my hopes up. At the end of it all he got me more than we hoped for at our first meeting. I am so grateful for Mr Dawson, Shara, and the rest of the firm and will continue to use them for legal advice. I highly recommend for anyone in need.

David helped me through my recent divorce, and then to represent me again in a subsequent motion filed by me ex. Even with a minor child, the divorced was finalized in 4 months! His team kept me in the loop and always communicated well throughout the process. I would (and have) recommend him to friends or family going through the same experience.

I hired Mr. Dawson to handle my divorce. He was recommended by a friend. I had been with my spouse for 30 years and this divorce was extremely hard for me. Mr. Dawson did a great job for me to make sure I got all that I should. Any problem or complaint I had about what my spouse was doing Mr. Dawson reassured me it would all be ok. He was great when my anxiety was through the roof. It was a long almost 10 months but, Mr. Dawson and Shara were fantastic and I cannot thank them enough for all they did for me.
