I was referred to David after I noticed my original attorney seems to be working against me with the opposing attorneys rather than for me. He was attempting to make me settle on terms that I wasn't comfortable with and that I did not want to accept. David listened to my needs, analyzed the whole situation, and requested documents for review and was totally honest & transparent throughout the process. With a mediator, we were able to accept a much better settlement than previously proposed. I highly recommend David for any family law services you need.

I would highly recommend David to anyone seeking representation for Family Court. He was my attorney through a very lengthy divorce. He was always very honest, knowledgeable, thorough and competent with every aspect of my case...which, at times, became very contentious. He always provided confidence and positive assurances when I was feeling hopeless. Divorce can be very trying, but I always knew I could count on David to reel me in and provide sound advice for a favorable outcome. I would recommend David over and over!

"I was very pleased with how honest David was on the very first meeting. He never gave me false hope and told me how it was going to play out from the beginning. I really appreciated this and really respected him for that. My situation did not turn out like I wanted it too but that had nothing to do with David or his capabilities to represent someone. He is a very knowledgeable attorney and has the best interest of the children or individuals involved. Divorce, Separation, Child Support, and so on are things that will never have a positive view point from the start and very rarely are they positive in the end. There is never a winner in cases like these however, I know that David is a fighter at heart, He is a winner at heart, and he has a great passion for family and will do whatever he can to help you or your family."

David was my attorney through my separation and divorce. He did a great job helping me know what to expect. He is a straight shooter and talked me through the different options I had and supported my decisions. I knew he was on my "team" and felt confident in his ability to represent me. Not only is he a great attorney, but he is a great person. He was was easy to talk to and made a very difficult situation less stressful by being timely in his responses to calls and emails. He was up front about cost and did not have any hidden costs or fees. I highly recommend David if you need a divorce attorney.

"My experience working with David Self was exceptional. Before he ever took my case, he sat down with me and explained how the process was going to work and what I could expect. After taking my case, he asked what my hope was for the outcome of the case. David worked tirelessly to make sure that I achieved the outcome that I desired. He made himself available via phone, email and in person. He kept me posted weekly on the current status of my case and always made sure to have my input before agreeing to anything. The decision to have David represent me helped me and my family work through what could have been a very difficult process. I would highly recommend David Self to anyone needing legal representation in family law matters."

David took care of my divorce. It was a difficult time but he made it so much easier. He kept me updated on what was going on and made a tough situation a little easier. I couldn't have made it through without him.

David Self was very professional and informative when dealing with my two cases. David responded very quickly to my emails and phone calls. He was very sympathetic to my case and the problems that were presented. I believe I received the best outcomes from both cases. I would like to thank David Self and would strongly recommend his services.

Too cocky and too sure of results before court dates that always resulted in opposite of what he was “so sure” of, also was not fully focused for my final hearing in which he failed to provide all the documents i got ready for him to the judge and afterwards i asked him why did he not provide all the documents his response was simply “I don’t know”...after final court date i gave him calm honest feedback face to face which he was not professional enough to handle and got very defensive and raised his voice to me in front of others at the court house...would not recommend at all for any services.
