If you find yourself contemplating separation, consult David before taking further action. I wished I retained him earlier. In my case David was able to quickly repair the damage done previously, with speedy and successful court action that allowed a significant increase of time with my child which is priceless. David is competent, reliable, responds quickly, knowledgeable in matters of family court (he’s a certified family law specialist), and bills accurately. He’s fair, professional, realistic, looks out for the best interest of the involved parties, and he’s exceptional in presenting his case during negotiations and in court.

David Erb is an absolutely fantastic Bay Area divorce attorney. He made this difficult and emotional legal process smooth and straightforward, and I got the settelement I wanted. David gives great advice, bills accurately and ethically, and comes up with excellent strategies. David is easy to reach by phone and by email. He listened to me about what I wanted and did not want and created and implemented a settlement negotiation strategy accordingly. He explained to me the complicated legal divorce process every step of the way so I would know what was going to happen, with no surprises. Finally, I appreciated how budget-conscious David was during the process. He advised me of the cost implications of the different decisions I could make, and I never felt like he was taking advantage of me for money. His paralegal, Noah Avalos, is also top-notch. Noah is very organized and responsive on email. Both men were great to work with. Thankfully, I was able to settle my divorce without going to court. I would refer him to anyone I know planning to divorce.

I hired David Erb less than a year ago. Him and Karen Buitrago are both extremely knowledgeable and well practiced lawyers. They helped me plan strategically for a complicated case and executed our plan with precision and kept me in the loop. David and Karen are both very well versed in court room proceedings and I was very grateful to have them on my side. I have about 6 years in the family court system. Although it's gravely disappointing that our family court system is for profit and can be painfully litigous, if you've exhausted all other outside of court options, these guys are the way to go. I've hired many lawyers and none of them come close to David & Karen. These guys are the best I've seen. I highly recommend them.

David represented me in my divorce and my only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner. After spending almost a year and thousands of dollars in legal fees with another attorney (who was highly rated), I switched to David. His hourly charges were higher than my previous lawyer, but he more than made up for them with his efficiency. In our first meeting, I went to him with a page full of questions/topics to discuss and anticipated needing an hour and a half, but he answered everything in half the time. He thinks very fast and was always a step ahead, anticipating many of my questions, before I even asked. He billed fairly and ethically and never nickel and dimed me. He was always aware that I was conscious of my costs and recommended things worth pursuing and those that were not. He got me a good fair settlement without trial and most importantly, helped close it relatively quickly. (Our divorce had dragged on for a year and a half before I switched to David). Linda, his associate attorney is very thorough, organized and efficient and it was wonderful to work with her. She never asked me something twice and took great notes. I will be happy to recommend David/Linda to anyone.

I had the opportunity to hire David as my divorce attorney in 2019 continuing into 2020. The state of California is clear that it is an equal opportunity state regarding spousal support and who should receive it, whether you feel they are worthy or not. As a woman with a career in a highly competitive environment, I was extremely tied to the emotional aspect of having to provide supplementary income to my ex-husband, who was unemployed by choice. David was able to negotiate for me and do what was fair for both of us, but ensuring that I felt good about what I needed to provide as compensation to my ex. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and was available when I had questions or concerns. He worked in my best interest and was an absolute pleasure in a very unpleasant process. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of terminating a marriage, I highly recommend hiring David and his team to support you in your process.

David is professional, to-the-point, and impressively responsive to my communications. He has demonstrated genuine interest in my case, notably starting one of our calls saying, "While I was thinking about your case this weekend.." I appreciate his pragmatism and that he is not just another attorney promising the moon to potential clients in order to win their business. I can't recommend his services enough.

David is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, smart and ethical. His team includes paralegal Season and associate Linda, both are phenomenally organized, sympathetic and are true extension of David’s professional qualities. David is strategic and methodical in the negotiations and in the court. I’ve been honored to be presented by him and the solution he’s been able to work out in my case is the best I could have wished for.

I strongly recommend David. He came highly recommended to me by two other attorneys. He has helped guide and support me through what has been an extremely challenging and stressful time. He has been very responsive, empathetic and respectful, providing excellent and candid guidance, whilst always trying to minimize costs. I had separate property claims and real estate holdings, and David helped me to navigate the best course throughout the divorce process, developing and implementing effective strategies

Noah is very organized and responsive on email. Both men were great to work with. Thankfully, I was able to settle my divorce without going to court. I would refer him to anyone I know planning to divorce.

David is very knowledgeable, thorough and easy to work with. He listens and explains each step in the process. He is also very conscientious and responsive. David made a difficult situation much smoother than expected. I highly recommend him.

I hired David Erb less than a year ago. Him and Karen Buitrago are both extremely knowledgeable and well practiced lawyers. They helped me plan strategically for a complicated case and executed our plan with precision and kept me in the loop. David and Karen are both very well versed in court room proceedings and I was very grateful to have them on my side. I have about 6 years in the family court system. Although it's gravely disappointing that our family court system is for profit and can be painfully litigous, if you've exhausted all other outside of court options, these guys are the way to go. I've hired many lawyers and none of them come close to David & Karen. These guys are the best I've seen. I highly recommend them.

David represented me in my divorce and my only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner. After spending almost a year and thousands of dollars in legal fees with another attorney (who was highly rated), I switched to David. His hourly charges were higher than my previous lawyer, but he more than made up for them with his efficiency. In our first meeting, I went to him with a page full of questions/topics to discuss and anticipated needing an hour and a half, but he answered everything in half the time. He thinks very fast and was always a step ahead, anticipating many of my questions, before I even asked. He billed fairly and ethically and never nickel and dimed me. He was always aware that I was conscious of my costs and recommended things worth pursuing and those that were not. He got me a good fair settlement without trial and most importantly, helped close it relatively quickly. (Our divorce had dragged on for a year and a half before I switched to David). Linda, his associate attorney is very thorough, organized and efficient and it was wonderful to work with her. She never asked me something twice and took great notes. I will be happy to recommend David/Linda to anyone.

I had the opportunity to hire David as my divorce attorney in 2019 continuing into 2020. The state of California is clear that it is an equal opportunity state regarding spousal support and who should receive it, whether you feel they are worthy or not. As a woman with a career in a highly competitive environment, I was extremely tied to the emotional aspect of having to provide supplementary income to my ex-husband, who was unemployed by choice. David was able to negotiate for me and do what was fair for both of us, but ensuring that I felt good about what I needed to provide as compensation to my ex. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and was available when I had questions or concerns. He worked in my best interest and was an absolute pleasure in a very unpleasant process. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of terminating a marriage, I highly recommend hiring David and his team to support you in your process.

David is professional, to-the-point, and impressively responsive to my communications. He has demonstrated genuine interest in my case, notably starting one of our calls saying, "While I was thinking about your case this weekend.." I appreciate his pragmatism and that he is not just another attorney promising the moon to potential clients in order to win their business. I can't recommend his services enough.

David is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, smart and ethical. His team includes paralegal Season and associate Linda, both are phenomenally organized, sympathetic and are true extension of David’s professional qualities. David is strategic and methodical in the negotiations and in the court. I’ve been honored to be presented by him and the solution he’s been able to work out in my case is the best I could have wished for.

He has been very responsive, empathetic and respectful, providing excellent and candid guidance, whilst always trying to minimize costs. I had separate property claims and real estate holdings, and David helped me to navigate the best course throughout the divorce process, developing and implementing effective strategies

If you find yourself contemplating separation, consult David before taking further action. I wished I retained him earlier. In my case David was able to quickly repair the damage done previously, with speedy and successful court action that allowed a significant increase of time with my child which is priceless. David is competent, reliable, responds quickly, knowledgeable in matters of family court (he’s a certified family law specialist), and bills accurately. He’s fair, professional, realistic, looks out for the best interest of the involved parties, and he’s exceptional in presenting his case during negotiations and in court.

David Erb is an absolutely fantastic Bay Area divorce attorney. He made this difficult and emotional legal process smooth and straightforward, and I got the settelement I wanted. David gives great advice, bills accurately and ethically, and comes up with excellent strategies. David is easy to reach by phone and by email. He listened to me about what I wanted and did not want and created and implemented a settlement negotiation strategy accordingly. He explained to me the complicated legal divorce process every step of the way so I would know what was going to happen, with no surprises.

David was able to negotiate for me and do what was fair for both of us, but ensuring that I felt good about what I needed to provide as compensation to my ex. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and was available when I had questions or concerns. He worked in my best interest and was an absolute pleasure in a very unpleasant process. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of terminating a marriage, I highly recommend hiring David and his team to support you in your process.

David is professional, to-the-point, and impressively responsive to my communications. He has demonstrated genuine interest in my case, notably starting one of our calls saying, "While I was thinking about your case this weekend.." I appreciate his pragmatism and that he is not just another attorney promising the moon to potential clients in order to win their business. I can't recommend his services enough.

David is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, smart and ethical. His team includes paralegal Season and associate Linda, both are phenomenally organized, sympathetic and are true extension of David’s professional qualities. David is strategic and methodical in the negotiations and in the court. I’ve been honored to be presented by him and the solution he’s been able to work out in my case is the best I could have wished for.

I strongly recommend David. He came highly recommended to me by two other attorneys. He has helped guide and support me through what has been an extremely challenging and stressful time. He has been very responsive, empathetic and respectful, providing excellent and candid guidance, whilst always trying to minimize costs. I had separate property claims and real estate holdings, and David helped me to navigate the best course throughout the divorce process, developing and implementing effective strategies

If you find yourself contemplating separation, consult David before taking further action. I wished I retained him earlier. In my case David was able to quickly repair the damage done previously, with speedy and successful court action that allowed a significant increase of time with my child which is priceless. David is competent, reliable, responds quickly, knowledgeable in matters of family court (he’s a certified family law specialist), and bills accurately. He’s fair, professional, realistic, looks out for the best interest of the involved parties, and he’s exceptional in presenting his case during negotiations and in court.

David Erb is an absolutely fantastic Bay Area divorce attorney. He made this difficult and emotional legal process smooth and straightforward, and I got the settelement I wanted. David gives great advice, bills accurately and ethically, and comes up with excellent strategies. David is easy to reach by phone and by email. He listened to me about what I wanted and did not want and created and implemented a settlement negotiation strategy accordingly. He explained to me the complicated legal divorce process every step of the way so I would know what was going to happen, with no surprises. Finally, I appreciated how budget-conscious David was during the process. He advised me of the cost implications of the different decisions I could make, and I never felt like he was taking advantage of me for money. His paralegal, Noah Avalos, is also top-notch. Noah is very organized and responsive on email. Both men were great to work with. Thankfully, I was able to settle my divorce without going to court. I would refer him to anyone I know planning to divorce.

I hired David Erb less than a year ago. Him and Karen Buitrago are both extremely knowledgeable and well practiced lawyers. They helped me plan strategically for a complicated case and executed our plan with precision and kept me in the loop. David and Karen are both very well versed in court room proceedings and I was very grateful to have them on my side. I have about 6 years in the family court system. Although it's gravely disappointing that our family court system is for profit and can be painfully litigous, if you've exhausted all other outside of court options, these guys are the way to go. I've hired many lawyers and none of them come close to David & Karen. These guys are the best I've seen. I highly recommend them.

David represented me in my divorce and my only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner. After spending almost a year and thousands of dollars in legal fees with another attorney (who was highly rated), I switched to David. His hourly charges were higher than my previous lawyer, but he more than made up for them with his efficiency. In our first meeting, I went to him with a page full of questions/topics to discuss and anticipated needing an hour and a half, but he answered everything in half the time. He thinks very fast and was always a step ahead, anticipating many of my questions, before I even asked. He billed fairly and ethically and never nickel and dimed me. He was always aware that I was conscious of my costs and recommended things worth pursuing and those that were not. He got me a good fair settlement without trial and most importantly, helped close it relatively quickly. (Our divorce had dragged on for a year and a half before I switched to David). Linda, his associate attorney is very thorough, organized and efficient and it was wonderful to work with her. She never asked me something twice and took great notes. I will be happy to recommend David/Linda to anyone.

David gives great advice, bills accurately and ethically, and comes up with excellent strategies. David is easy to reach by phone and by email. He listened to me about what I wanted and did not want and created and implemented a settlement negotiation strategy accordingly. He explained to me the complicated legal divorce process every step of the way so I would know what was going to happen, with no surprises. Finally, I appreciated how budget-conscious David was during the process. He advised me of the cost implications of the different decisions I could make, and I never felt like he was taking advantage of me for money. His paralegal, Noah Avalos, is also top-notch. Noah is very organized and responsive on email. Both men were great to work with. Thankfully, I was able to settle my divorce without going to court. I would refer him to anyone I know planning to divorce.

David is very knowledgeable, thorough and easy to work with. He listens and explains each step in the process. He is also very conscientious and responsive. David made a difficult situation much smoother than expected. I highly recommend him.

I hired David Erb less than a year ago. Him and Karen Buitrago are both extremely knowledgeable and well practiced lawyers. They helped me plan strategically for a complicated case and executed our plan with precision and kept me in the loop. David and Karen are both very well versed in court room proceedings and I was very grateful to have them on my side. I have about 6 years in the family court system. Although it's gravely disappointing that our family court system is for profit and can be painfully litigous, if you've exhausted all other outside of court options, these guys are the way to go. I've hired many lawyers and none of them come close to David & Karen. These guys are the best I've seen. I highly recommend them.

David represented me in my divorce and my only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner. After spending almost a year and thousands of dollars in legal fees with another attorney (who was highly rated), I switched to David. His hourly charges were higher than my previous lawyer, but he more than made up for them with his efficiency. In our first meeting, I went to him with a page full of questions/topics to discuss and anticipated needing an hour and a half, but he answered everything in half the time. He thinks very fast and was always a step ahead, anticipating many of my questions, before I even asked. He billed fairly and ethically and never nickel and dimed me. He was always aware that I was conscious of my costs and recommended things worth pursuing and those that were not. He got me a good fair settlement without trial and most importantly, helped close it relatively quickly. (Our divorce had dragged on for a year and a half before I switched to David). Linda, his associate attorney is very thorough, organized and efficient and it was wonderful to work with her. She never asked me something twice and took great notes. I will be happy to recommend David/Linda to anyone.

I had the opportunity to hire David as my divorce attorney in 2019 continuing into 2020. The state of California is clear that it is an equal opportunity state regarding spousal support and who should receive it, whether you feel they are worthy or not. As a woman with a career in a highly competitive environment, I was extremely tied to the emotional aspect of having to provide supplementary income to my ex-husband, who was unemployed by choice. David was able to negotiate for me and do what was fair for both of us, but ensuring that I felt good about what I needed to provide as compensation to my ex. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and was available when I had questions or concerns. He worked in my best interest and was an absolute pleasure in a very unpleasant process. If you have the unfortunate circumstance of terminating a marriage, I highly recommend hiring David and his team to support you in your process.

David is professional, to-the-point, and impressively responsive to my communications. He has demonstrated genuine interest in my case, notably starting one of our calls saying, "While I was thinking about your case this weekend.." I appreciate his pragmatism and that he is not just another attorney promising the moon to potential clients in order to win their business. I can't recommend his services enough.

David is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, smart and ethical. His team includes paralegal Season and associate Linda, both are phenomenally organized, sympathetic and are true extension of David’s professional qualities. David is strategic and methodical in the negotiations and in the court. I’ve been honored to be presented by him and the solution he’s been able to work out in my case is the best I could have wished for.

I strongly recommend David. He came highly recommended to me by two other attorneys. He has helped guide and support me through what has been an extremely challenging and stressful time. He has been very responsive, empathetic and respectful, providing excellent and candid guidance, whilst always trying to minimize costs. I had separate property claims and real estate holdings, and David helped me to navigate the best course throughout the divorce process, developing and implementing effective strategies

If you find yourself contemplating separation, consult David before taking further action. I wished I retained him earlier. In my case David was able to quickly repair the damage done previously, with speedy and successful court action that allowed a significant increase of time with my child which is priceless. David is competent, reliable, responds quickly, knowledgeable in matters of family court (he’s a certified family law specialist), and bills accurately. He’s fair, professional, realistic, looks out for the best interest of the involved parties, and he’s exceptional in presenting his case during negotiations and in court.
