Dear David, Beth,
Just a quick, heartfelt note to thank you for everything you have done for me financially, emotionally, and psychologically. You have made the last two years as tolerable and pleasant as such a circumstance could be. Each of you explained the entire nasty divorce process thoroughly and realistically through your eyes and experiences. I appreciate your professionalism and each of your individual personalities: together you are an inimitable team. Sincerely

I recommend David Lederman.
I hired David 1-6 months ago.
David handled my Child Custody matter.
I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

To say that my case is high-conflict is an understatement. There were issues of domestic violence, substance abuse and allegations of child abuse that were all present prior to the separation. I hired David to represent me in my divorce and child custody issues based on a recommendation I had received from another attorney. From the beginning David made sure that I understood the process, was informed and let me know that I was in control of my case. With that said, he offered his expertise and guidance (I wish I had listened more from the outset.) Once engaged, he was the only attorney that I used. (In stark contrast, the opposing party had 5 attorneys.) Due to the complexity of the case, the time and financial impact, I had to move to a limited scope basis and even in this capacity, David was extremely responsive and ensured that I had the best representation in front of the judge. The case is still not completely settled but at least there is a resolution of custody and some peace for my children. I owe that in large part to David and his entire team.

Thank you all for your help in getting my divorce finished, it is a huge weight off my shoulders. It is unbelievable to have an end date for payments and to have a cap. And now I can work 100 hours a week and have something to show for it. I am so focused this morning on getting work and starting to rebuild my life. It is only starting to fully sink in now, that I am free to start to rebuild a future for my kids and myself. You guys work in a tough business, but yesterday you all really helped me and my family.

After a two-decade relationship – 17 years married – my ex and I had children and had accrued businesses and assets. Needless to say, mediation did not work for us due to the complexity of our case. Even in my grieving and emotional state, I went ahead and interviewed six attorneys. That’s when I found David and knew immediately, he was the one. You could tell that he had the experience and knowledge – he immediately reassured me in a way that no one else did – and had very caring and competent associates as well, who I’d also worked with. He worked with my ex’s attorney, and between the four of us, we reached a deal that was fair, equitable, and healthy for our children and family. I chose well and am more than satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Recently, I came to face to face one of the most horrifying break ups in my life with a man who not only became frightening and threatening, but did refuse to return a highly valued personal property of mine resulting in holding me emotionally and mentally hostage. This became a severe case of Domestic Violence including physical / emotional abuse on me. I became terrified for my life. It became an extremely complicated case. I was referred to the David Lederman’s firm by a friend of mine who is a judge. I have no words how grateful I am for the legal interventions from all the staff of David Lederman’s firm including all lawyers, reception, paralegals, and administration. They are all outstanding, knowledgeable, and plus, I felt understood and treated with empathy, compassion, and I was able to gain safety for my life. Mr. Lederman’s firm is amazing and highly worth it. It is with all my integrity and dignity that I most definitely recommend Mr. Lederman’s firm for any domestic family dispute. I am and will be forever grateful for all that his firm and himself did in my case. Also, how Mr. Lederman himself dealt mindfully and sharp with my case. Mr. Lederman was able to close my case very successfully including the full return of my valued personal property in short time without this case to be hanging a long which resulted in protecting my safety and my health. Blessings to Mr. Lederman’s firm and Mr. Lederman’s strength and capacity.
