Absolutely knowledgeable and was willing to fight for anything I wanted. Walked me through every step and reassured me throughout the case. Very good person and the only Family law attorney I would ever recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything David.
A gratifying thank you to David Ristoff. Our case was very complicated and my emotions were extremely high. David is focused, confident, honest, and sincere. Most importantly calm and very reassuring, a true gentleman. We appreciate your dedication, hard work, knowledge of family law and immediate response to numerous phone calls, and text messages. David is incredibly insightful, nonjudgemental, honest and genuinely cared for our situation. We are very fortunate to have David Ristoff represent our family. Respectfully, Sally Jamiel and family

Custody and Child Support Family Law Case. Satisfied and Grateful Single Father. David was recommended by a friend. He was a complete 180 from a previous council to handle my Family Law Case A true and fair,”Go-getter.” Easy to get a hold of. Under Ristoff’s council my child support was reduced to a fair amount (previous council could not get this done in 5 years) as I was led through my Custody Case for custody of my son. I had a clear and concise understanding of what was going on at all times. I couldn’t be happier with the result which ultimately resulted in the courts favoring myself the father custody of my son and child support payments.
David was outstanding throughout the entire process and made me feel very comfortable. He was calming and lighthearted and explained everything each step of the way.
I had a great experience in dealing with Mr. Ristoff during a difficult time. He was no nonsense and efficient and effective in producing a reasonable result in a decent time frame. He was always willing to speak up on my behalf and a great sounding board for helping me to make decisions.
I was fortunate enought to have been referred to David Ristoff by a family friend and i count my blessings i was. Im a blue collared guy who went through a divorce with 2 small children in the mix. Mr. Ristoff made the process much easier with how he would communicate and actually cared about the situation at hand. He understands whats right and will fight for it. Mr. Ristoff i appreciate you more than you know.
David was refered to me by a close friend of mine. After our first consultation I felt very confident and retained him as my lawyer. My custody battle was not going to be left in just any lawyer's hands! In the past few months David has been very helpful in resolving my case. During the process he has been very punctual to return my calls and emails. I would highly recommend im for your Lawyer! Thank you David very much!
Mr. Ristoff represented my son in a particularly ugly divorce case. He was professional, caring, intelligent and above all - available. As a family rallying around my son, David responded to all my questions with respect and never once did I feel I was a hinderance or bother anytime I presented with my son either in court or in his office. His communication style is direct and detailed. He listened to our endless list of legal questions and concerns and took the time to explain the legal system and what were the best steps for my son to take in order to obtain a favorable outcome for my son and my grandchildren. Consequently, my son retained custody of my grandchildren and obtained divorce terms they all could live with. His demeanor in the courtroom was impressive. I would recommend David wholeheartedly to anyone who needs legal representation from an attorney with integrity, compassion, and a good grasp of the law. I would encourage contacting him if ever you are in need of legal counsel.
I first consulted Mr. Ristoff when I was referred to him by a friend for my child custody case. He is very caring and kind. He made me feel like what I was looking for was very attainable. He is very efficient and effective. I was very happy with his work. Mr. Paul Bowen and Mr. Ristoff did an amazing job for me and I couldn't be happier. The office staff was also amazing. I would recommend Mr. Ristoff to anyone and would hire him again. Thank you Mr. Ristoff!
