Dave was extremely helpful and diligent during my custody and divorce proceedings. He was timely with responses, supportive, and cared about my overall situation during the filings. I had a great experience, and would definitely use him again if any legal advice is needed.

Dave was my 2nd lawyer in my long, extremely drawn out custody/divorce case. My 1st lawyer, as well as many other people, told me there's no way I'll get 50/50 custody of my girls. After about a year of my 1st lawyer doing next to nothing, I fired him and went with Dave on a recommendation. Now to be fair, my 1st lawyer was older and didn't realize how much of a constant fight, ON EVERYTHING, my situation was going to be, and I just don't think he had it in him. After Mr Sobotka reviewed the details of the case, told me there is no reason I shouldn't get 50/50, and in less than 6 months, that's exactly what I had. Dave is a very confident, no nonsense attorney who gets the job done, and I can't thank him enough for getting me my girls!!! When I started with him, he had a legal intern by the name of Timothy Bitler working alongside him. Tim is now an Associate of Dave's, and has been a great help in my divorce case, as well as with matters/issues that seem to never end. I would absolutely, positively, definitely recommend Dave Sobotka, and Timothy Bitler, for any custody or divorce cases, no matter how "messy" it is. Mr Sobotka definitely can handle any challenge! Thanks again guys!!!

Mr. Sobotka and his secretaries Liz & Megan and assistant Tim Bietler stood by me in one of the most difficult times in my life, trying to get custody of my son. The are caring and compassionate and continued to be that way not only during the period I had worked with them but continue to be even though the case has come to fruition. Mr. Sobotka came highly recommended and with each passing day as my case continued I found out why. He set guidelines for me which I followed and took each amount of advice he shared with me. He was very truthful and honest with me which I really appreciated and I feel assisted tremendously with the positive outcome I received. Each time I contacted him he was always there with either a phone call, a note, or a brief meeting which made me feel comfortable at all times. Many times I feel he and his staff went above and beyond their usual protocol which allows me to pass along that this is the attorney to have for any case if you want the most "bang for your buck" and the most positive results for whatever problem you need attended to. I recommend David S. Sobotka and his staff to anyone who needs a lawyer because they will work for YOU honestly with no nonsense and results that will be in your favor.

I retained Mr. Sobotka to handle my divorce. I had an attorney prior that was unwilling to give my case the attention required. During the consult with Dave, he was advising of the next steps and his plan to keep things moving. I appreciated his attentiveness and confidence with my case. I highly recommend Dave and his staff.

Mr. Sobotka represented me in a very lengthy divorce proceeding, involving custody and other marital issues. He was recommended to me as a very good attorney, and he and his team did not disappoint! Through his diligence and guidance, i was able to retain custody of my children, which was the most important issue to me. He has now brought Timothy Bitler into his office, and Tim has also been a great help and finished the final details of the divorce for me. My ex-wife has had 5 different attorneys represent her through the proceedings, and when in court, were clearly not of the same caliber as Mr. Sobotka and Mr. Bitler. These gentlemen come highly recommended, not just by me, but by my family who were present and involved in the various hearings, and I am pleased to count them as friends also.

I hired attorney Sobotka for my divorce case. It was a complicated case involving a business and substantial assets. My wife and her attorney made things very difficult. Nonetheless I obtained a fair settlement relatively quickly. I attribute that fair settlement to attorney Sobotka's efforts. He was aggressive when he needed to be and knew how to get the case finished without spending years in court. He was prompt in returning phone calls and always prepared. Highly recommended.

I hired attorney Sobotka to represent me in a custody case. My wife was refusing to allow me any reasonable custody time with my two children. Mr. Sobotka had the case scheduled for trial and eventually I obtained a shared custody order which was more than I was asking for. Mr. Sobotka handled the case professionally, was always prepared, and most importantly got results. I would recommend him to anyone in a custody dispute.
