David has a way of putting you at ease in easily the most stressful of situations. He offers balanced guidance without emotion so you always move forward in the process. David truly understands the value of his clients and keeps you informed every step of the way! I couldn't have gotten this divorce done without his constant support!!

David and his team did a phenomenal job handling my case. The communication between he and I was great thought the process. He never kept me waiting long on responses and consistently kept me in the loop. On occasion we had to meet for some discussions, and they worked with me on my schedule to make it happen as soon as possible. His professionalism was at a highest at all times and it paid off at the end.

David was a great attorney who really had my best interest in mind. He worked very hard for me and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. He really listened and understood my situation. He was prompt and professional and always responded quickly to emails/ phone calls. He took the time to answer my questions and explain the law to me. Attorney fees were very reasonable and in line with the outcome. Would definitely recommend him!

Mr. McCleary was an absolute perfect attorney for us. He was always very responsive to any emails that we sent. He was kind, thorough, and caring. He would research anything that we needed if he did not know right off hand. He kept us informed all the way through the process, and we were so thankful for the outcome in our situation. He is well-respected among his peers as well. Our family would highly recommend Mr. McCleary and his staff.

This is the second time David has helped me with a traffic case, and he did an amazing job (quickly) both times. On top of that, he was very easy to work with, always honest and willing to help - and I truly appreciate his great demeanor. I would highly recommend him.

David is an excellent attorney. He has worked diligently on my custody and divorce cases since day one of me hiring him. It's been extremely stressful with a few set backs but David has shown resilience and determination which I greatly appreciate! He's always flexible with phone calls and meeting times (I had a situation arise and called him for advice; he made time on the spot to talk me through the situation and soothe my fears.) I'd highly recommend him to anyone hoping to find an attorney who genuinely cares about the people he represents ( including the children affected by these court proceedings), thanks David!

All advice was on point and concise. David was able to handle my case with positive results even after I missed my original court date.

David successfully litigated a prior Judges ruling on property distribution to my favor. Two further attempts of criminal contempt were also defeated . He successfully won the case “Off the cuff” from evidence presented by the opposing side. I'm impressed and satisfied with his results and efforts. .

My experience was great I had attorney David McCleary the case was a DWI. I'm not going to lie at first I thought he was pretty expensive but throughout the process going to court almost a year seeing how he moves and operate explain every step and every move we made together so he can make sure I'm understanding what's going on. Anytime I called and left a message he made sure he return my messages. At times when he couldn't help me his partner I think his name was Michael helped out with the case. He never let me feel like I didn't know what was going on. Saying all that I think he's worth every penny now! We did win our case and he is being rehired to expunge my criminal record that's how please I am with him and I will recommend him to anyone.

David was very professional, and extremely helpful! I sought his council due to an unfortunate situation, and through it all he kept me calm and reassured as to what was occurring. He came recommended by a family friend who was mentored by him, and I am tremendously grateful that I listened.
