About

I partner with my clients to help them through a very difficult time in their lives.  Whether it involves procuring their share of the marital estate, or ensuring quality time with their children, I use the skills that I have developed over the years to further my client's best interests.   Children should not be caught in the middle of a divorce or separation, and I use legal tools available to try to prevent this from happenning.  I work not only with divorcing couples, but also couples who have never been married (Paternity actions), as well as same-sex couples.  I personally handle each of my client's cases so they work with me on a one-on-one basis throughout the process.I am also cognizent of trying to ensure that my clients have sufficient assets left over after the legal process to enable them to begin the next chapter in their lives.  As a result, I am a strong advocate for mediation, when appropriate, as well as the Collaborative divorce process.

I hired David Kerpel initially in 2019 as my divorce attorney. I first reached out to him through the phone. He called back right away being on vacation with his family. It was significant to me as I was desperate for help with legal advice. Listened! Took the time to guide me thoroughly. Highly knowledgeable! Tenacious! Super compassionate knowing divorce is very difficult for the family. My case in particular. Complex with many layers. David was dedicated. Pushed through a lot of difficulties. In the early stages of my divorce filing, felt like no hope. His passion, dedication and commitment came through for the best possible outcome for me. I rehired David a year after my divorce for support modification. He worked just as hard to keep support the same.

Hands down one of the best decisions I made, was to hire David Kerpel to represent me in my recent divorce! David Kerpel is an exceptional attorney. One of those rare finds whom combines his legal expertise with phenomenal interpersonal skills to offer his clients quality services. Divorce can be a turbulent time, and the stability David provided through his extreme knowledge, professionalism, reliability and commitment to finding resolutions was invaluable. In addition, David guided me through the entire process with the utmost patience and compassion, clearly defining every legal term as needed to ensure I felt like we were a team, and yes, David fights hard for his team! I am forever grateful to have hired David!!

I am not an English native speaker, I come from China. My case was very complicated and difficult case. I interviewed so many attorneys, some of them have decent titles. But after a brief conversation with David Kerpel, I decided to hire him without any hesitation. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, strong sympathy, think quickly. Attorney of ex-husband was very tough and also very experienced, but no matter opposing counsel how tough she was, David always very calm, respectful and control the situation quickly even though my situation was extremely passive. I am come from another country and don’t know anything about the law here, ex-husband was divorcing me by email when I was out of United States. He relocated to another state to open his own company. I did’t know how much marital property we had and how much he earned after he filed the divorce. I speak and wrote the broken English. You could imagine how difficult and passive my situation was. But David can understand me and my situation completely, he used appreciate and accurate words to express my meaning to judge. David is patient, Strategic, insightful, righteous, he smoothly helped me from beginning through the process step by step, then quickly to grasp the chances, David has the ability to turn things around make the situation turn out be good for me. He is hard working, respond my email and messages very shortly, patient to explain to me about all my questions and concerns. My son is American who is stay in China rather than in USA during this long divorce process, my physical condition also was bad, ex husband require our son back to USA but he doesn’t want too much parenting time. David has strong sympathy and consider all the facts for me and my son. Earning as much benefits as he can for me and my son’s future. The final result is beyond my expectation. Thank you David, there is no any other attorneys can make this settlement done perfectly! During the end of case, I was under a lot of pressure, I had a little different opinion with David for some certain decisions , I was insisting to do my way. However, the truth proved that David was right, his professional perspectives can see the whole picture. When you hire David Kerpel, you just need do one thing: Trust him! Thanks for all your helps, I really appreciated it and feel lucky to hire you as my attorney!

David was strategic and realistic in handling the issues in my case. He has excellent attention to detail and picks the battles that make sense. My case was long and drawn out. Once the major issues were settled, David pushed to bring it to a reasonable conclusion in the shortest possible time.

David Kerpel is professional, yet compassionate; highly skilled, yet personable. He embodies the meaning of "advocate," walking alongside his clients through what (for me) could have been a much more painful experience. He explained everything clearly, and did a great job. I'm very glad that he was my attorney.
