I can't thank David enough for his exceptional guidance and support throughout my divorce process. From our very first consultation, I felt understood and reassured. David's professionalism and expertise were evident every step of the way as he helped me navigated the legal complexities with ease.

What impressed me most was his compassion. My divorce was lengthy and emotionally taxing, but he provided not only legal counsel but also emotional support, helping me stay focused and optimistic. He communicated clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured I understood every aspect of the process.

I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated divorce lawyer. Thank you again for everything!

Divorce is never a decision that is made without prior thought and support. I knew for quite some time that this was the road my now ex and I were going down, and I began researching, gathering information, as well as support I very much knew I would need well before I hired David. I had been talking with volunteers at The Lilac Tree, where David had been on the Board, and they highly recommended him to me. I called and had consultations with multiple divorce lawyers, but I knew when I spoke with David the first time that he was going to invest himself in doing the best he could for me, which he absolutely did. I had so many questions throughout the process, and so many really difficult and contentious issues that arose in my 17 month process, and he was available when I needed him the most, and walked me through the incredibly difficult process with both knowledge and compassion. He fought for the best interests of my three kids, and although there are always decisions and negotiations in a divorce that you won’t ultimately be happy about, he tried every step of the way to minimize that for me as best he could. The second attorney that worked with him as well as all of his other colleagues that helped me with everything he couldn’t (financial advisor, real estate agent, real estate attorney, QDRO attorney, insurance advisor), were all just as competent and truly made me feel as if I had a team that had my back and were on my side every step of the way. Late nights & laughs were such a bonus…I never felt as if he checked out at 5:00pm, and he definitely understood that in all the chaos & ridiculousness, sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. He also worked with me when things became incredibly difficult financially as well. He’s honestly worth every penny I paid him…and 17 months is a lot of pennies.

David Kerpel and his team are thoughtful, professional, and very bright individuals who will look at an issue and examine it from many angles. They were constantly collaborative, working together with me, and were able to exhaust many issues and/or come to a solid conclusion that would not only be appropriate and fair, but would advance my case. Throughout the dealings, I felt that my questions were being addressed, and that David had thoroughly examined my situation. He was always available, and became someone that I could rely on, whether it was a document issue or I simply needed to vent and question everything! He was not only my attorney, but became a friend through this process. He is compassionate and upbeat, and provided a positive attitude that helped me deal with the constantly changing timbre of a difficult divorce. In a situation that is beyond control, David became the voice of reason, and my solid rock that took the fear and confusion away, and made a very regimented court process one that I could handle without fear. How would I have done this without him? I am so thankful to have him in my life-having David as my advocate was the best decision I could have made!

Throughout the time David handled my divorce, I felt protected and well represented. David is compassionate, approachable and responsive. He cares about children and worked out the best possible child custody agreement for me. He encouraged me to work out small issues with my husband, but intervened if necessary. He was conscious of costs and weighed the outcome of his actions.
David was well prepared for court appearances and always very professional. He provided advice and support before my deposition and eased the stress with humor. I would definitely recommend David to anyone needing a good lawyer!

Working with David and The Law Offices of David S. Kerpel, LLC was a calming pleasure. Divorce is never easy, especially when it’s your first time and you never thought you’d be there. David guided me through the process step-by-step, and he always provided me with practical advice. He took the time to understand my goals to complete the process, and he listened. He looked out for me when I needed it, and he found workable solutions when he understood my position. He helped me get this done in a timely manner, and I have a solid relationship with my children that wasn’t damaged by a bitter fight. I would recommend that anyone who finds themselves in this situation contact David and his firm for help.

I am so grateful to have had David as the leader of our legal team. I was supporting my mom through her divorce, often sitting in on calls and emails as a second pair of eyes and ears for this complicated process. Even though I was not the client, David still took the time to answer any questions I had about the process and translated any confusing “legal-ese” for me. It was a complicated case but David (and his wonderful team) was not afraid to do research and try unconventional angles to present in court. I know that if we had not hired David, the settlement would have been a disaster. With his help, we are able to move forward into the future with a positive attitude. Thank you, David!

I was referred to David by a friend. I met with him initially before I decided to go through with my divorce. He was very empathetic and understanding, and just answered questions and provided information. Once I decided to go through with the divorce and retained him, David was highly professional and responsive and kept me informed throughout the process. David made himself available for all my questions and concerns. After the initial consultation, we were able to conduct most of the process over the phone, or email. My divorce was completed in a timely manner, and while the situation itself was unpleasant, I was happy with the outcome, and David’s support. I highly recommend David if you need a divorce attorney.

David is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, professional, and compassionate. I cannot imagine a better lawyer. Although my divorce was a long process, David stayed committed and diligent to reaching an agreement. He worked weekends, long hours, while on vacation, etc. to make progress towards a settlement. David made contacts with other professionals to assist me in making wise financial decisions. His great knowledge of divorce laws and procedures was very obvious throughout, and he always took the time to explain the process to me. Seeing David with the other attorney and in the courtroom, showed his extensive knowledge and professionalism. He was calm and compassionate and always made me feel secure that we would reach an equitable settlement. He also made me feel safe in what is otherwise an unnerving situation. He is an incredible lawyer.
