David Lacks handled my divorced at minimal cost and continued to inform me over a period of many years of my ex-husband's law suit and the resulting decisions, again, at a minimal fee.

Honest, solid advice. I’ve hired and consulted with David several times and would recommend him again and again.

David helped me with a family matter. He was responsive and patient with my many questions. He was sympathetic and I felt he was genuinely interested in my well-being. He resolved my issue in a timely way and was both personable and professional.

I was facing divorce and was luckily directed to David's office. David was able to thoroughly explain the process, give direction on my actions, and instill confidence in his professional ability to lead me through. David was always proactive with communications and filings with the court. Always brief and to the point, focused on my best interest and fair resolution. Throughout the proceedings, I always felt like I had an all-star at bat for me.

When I met with David Lacks, I entered his office and waited as he was late for the appointment and I could hear him on the phone upset because he was having issues with some line of credit he had applied for; but they were requesting information from him and he was highly agitated. He was complaining about how they were making it difficult to do business with him and this went on for about ten minutes before I was greeted. I was then greeted by David, no receptionist or secretary at all in the office. He gave me a clip board and asked me to fill out the information for him and to sign and acknowledge it at the bottom. This seemed harmless at the time. Then I met with him in total for about 30 - 40 minutes. I left and let him know that I would get back to him about taking on the case. Nothing at all was discussed as far as any kind of hourly rate, nor was there a discussion about being charged for simply talking to him about taking the case when I was in the office. He relayed in order to handle the case in its entirety, it would be a 750 dollar retainer. I decided not to move forward with David Lacks. Instead I went with different law firm. I was warned that David Lacks overbills and asks for small retainers but before you know it, you're billed like crazy and owe an astronomical amount. I notified him in writing via email immediately that I was not going to proceed with him and to send me a bill for his time. I received an email from him with just a number $250. No actual bill was ever sent per my request. This was in March of 2017. He mailed a bill to my old address in August of 2017, which I never received. Which was FIVE months after meeting. He then sent my information to a collection agency. Mind you, not one phone call, not one Email was sent to me by this collection agency, who for comedy purposes happens to be located in my same office building. Not one email nor phone call from David Lacks was made to me after the one email that I had received once before, which was not a bill. I find out about this by getting served because this man takes me to court over $250 dollars. That's right, I was billed $250 dollars for a consultation that was all of 40 minutes maximum. I attempted to pay the amount immediately upon finding this out, but they would NOT let me pay the bill and are forcing me to go into court to resolve it. Clearly this attorney is hard up for money to file for 250 dollars. It’s just bad business to immediately take someone to court without reaching out at all, not one call. Consultations are typically free, but I guess not when you're desperate for money. I would not recommend David Lacks to represent anyone ever again after this experience. By the way, that harmless clipboard application that he makes you feel out is what he considers an engagement letter. It is far from harmless and you should not fill this out when you're just meeting to discuss possibly having someone take on a case. Lesson learned. I firmly and very strongly do not recommend attorney David Lacks. This is beyond irrational behavior and for an attorney to come after their own client for such a minimal amount, everyone should be aware and avoid.
