Yeah, this attorney wasn’t a good fit. I tried to get a free consultation, but he didn’t really listen to what I was trying to explain. He immediately jumped to talking about a small part of my situation, without letting me give the full context. He seemed a bit full of himself and rushed, so it wasn’t helpful

Google reviews are intended to reflect the effectiveness of my professional services, not to be a forum for defamation. In my line of work, inevitably, many people are upset with me.

After I left my ex, he was bitter and tried everything he could to destroy me. He tried to get my kids taken away, he tried to get me charged with crimes that I did not commit, he tried everything he could to get me sent to prison! He told so many lies on me. As a result, I had to break my lease and move from my home, quit my job and flee the state (while pregnant). Not to mention that he has threatened to kill me on numerous occasions. And I had proof. But I also had a criminal record. I admit that I made some terrible decisions in the past. But I live a totally different lifestyle today and I do my best to live in a manner that pleases GOD (JESUS). But despite my morals and faith, my past hunts me and because of my criminal record, I NEVER EVER GET ANY JUSTICE! I’ve gone to the police, made numerous reports. Submitted evidence (text messages and recorded phone calls). Even still, no JUSTICE! I NEVER got any JUSTICE…until yesterday 10/15/25. Mr.Dart fought for me! He fought for me and my son! It had been a year long child support and custody battle! My ex told so many lies. He tried to get my son taken away from me! He tried to get me sent to prison! He tried everything he could! But the LORD was on my side. And GOD used Mr. Dart to fight for me…AND WIN!!! I’m still in a state of shock. Because the odds were against me! Mr.Dart is VERY smart! He knows the law! We had a lot of peeks and valleys along the way. We had some small wins that didn’t feel like much at the time. Mr.Dart knows his stuff. When we were going through Trial, I was scared out of my mind. I literally just had to trust him and his expertise. And it was hard but I’m glad that I did! Because he knows what he’s doing! He knows his stuff! And might I add, that he’s worth EVERY PENNY! This wasn’t an easy case. And it wasn’t cheap either! MR.DART IS A SHARK 🦈 you NEED a shark in the COURTROOM! I say all of this to say, if you’re life is on the line, if you’re fighting for your kids, you need DART THE SHARK! We had a MIGHTY VICTORY YESTERDAY. I was awarded FULL CUSTODY (sole, physical and Legal) of my son. I was awarded child support and my ex has to have supervised visits at a monitored facility and he has to complete a 52 week court ordered Accountability Choice class. I forgot to mention that the JUDGE let him (my ex) have it! After thoroughly reviewing ALL of the evidence that Mr.Dart submitted on my behalf! The JUDGE ripped him (my ex) a new one! I’ve NEVER seen anything like it! I’m so grateful and thankful! In closing, I just want to say thank YOU LORD JESUS for being a merciful, gracious and forgiving GOD! And thank YOU LORD for MR. DART 🎯 and the TEAM 🫶🏾

I’ve hired Mr. Dart a number of times over the years. He did an excellent job AGAIN recently, representing me in a very tough case. He’s respectful, no-nonsense, and has a real talent for understanding and applying the law. I seriously could not recommend him enough. You need him on your side!

David Dart is a fantastic lawyer! I reached out to him over a year ago now at the recommendation of my own mother, he did her divorce over 30 years ago, he made a huge impression on her. I was seeking a divorce and child custody help at the time. He helped me deal with my difficult ex/coparent and mediation. He was prepared to go to trial for me if mediation didn't go well. Then he helped me again about 5 months later for relocation for myself and my two children through mediation but was ready to defend me in trial if needed. He always there to answer questions via email and even phone calls/texts. He called me whenever I had concerns or questions, whether late at night or early morning. He is straightforward and honest with all legal advice, he doesn't hint around. I would 100 percent recommend him to a friend or family member and will use him again in the future if needed.

David is an amazing lawyer . This is the man you want on your side . David's staff works tirelessly. He is very knowledgeable and will help you set yourself up for reasonable expectations and practices with law and not feelings. He is always just a phone call away to answer any questions you have . Cheap and good does not belong in the same sentence when it comes to legal matters. He's been doing this a long time and will make your case as easy and painless as possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer that's going to give it to you straight and to point and in very legal fashion. Thanks David for everything.

First and foremost, I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation for David and his team. I hired David last year to provide legal assistance with my custody trail. Like many people who go through this sort of thing, I was blindsided and had limited knowledge on how things work with family court. I randomly chose David to represent me and I must say It was one of my best decisions thus far. David was very professional, provided insight to my situation in a way that I could easily understand, kept me well informed during the duration of trail, extensive hours of research, filing motions and did his best to expedite all in person hearings. David and I were successful and got the victory! I have peace of mind now that my daughter will thrive in a more stable environment. I would highly recommend David to anyone needing legal assistance. I consider David a friend and a fantastic attorney! Thank you so much and keep up the great work guys.

Whoever answered the phone is very rude and unprofessional. Merely answered with a “hello” then hung up on me after stating “this is not a law office that handles that, I don’t know if that’s civil or not”. No introduction, no goodbye , just haste and what felt like anger for having received a call. Even had they dealt with my case I would not have gone through with them, incredibly unprofessional.

Response from owner

The individual in question was never a client of my firm. I run a specialized practice highly concentrated in domestic relations cases such as divorce, child custody and related matters. There are many areas of the law that I do not practice. Relevant portions of the Code of Professional Conduct prohibit lawyers from accepting cases in areas of the law that are not familiar to them. <br>I have therefore instructed my staff to let prospective callers know the limits of my practice areas.<br>I am familiar with this situation. Per my protocol, this individual was informed repeatedly that his case was not within my practice area, and that he should speak with another firm. <br>This individual was dealt with in a courteous and professional manner. Despite this he persisted in numerous and harassing phone calls to my staff.

Highly Recommend I can't thank Dart enough for helping me through a tough custody battle. His team was not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and supportive every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication led to the outcome I was hoping for, and I now have the peace of mind I needed for my son’s future. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and will fight for the best results, David Dart is the attorney you want in your corner. Highly recommend!

He was very professional, very honest to the took extra time help me understand how things work any issues that need to be addressed outside of our contract he contacted experts that specialized to resolve issues that we’re outside our contract and wanted me to have the Best specialist to resolve these issues that were popping up. Wanted me to have the best and got them to agree to do apro bono which I desperately needed. he took care of me and I thank you for that. Also, thank you for representing me within our contract. You did an excellent job and we were awarded everything we asked for like he said it was a good day and I appreciate good days. and being a complete layman. It sounded like we got what we went in there for what was righteous and what was true Thank you Mr. Dart.

David Dart was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, But he was able to reverse the whole entire outcome with facts and his knowledge of law. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend David Dart without reservation. David Dart and his staff are very kind and honest throughout the whole process. Tiffany is AWSOME! She always gets back to me in a very reasonable time for any questions or concerns I had about the case and process. David Dart and his team are worth every penny.

David is a great lawyer. If you want a lawyer that can see past the bluffs and let you and everyone else know what it is, he is your guy. He comes off as a guy who knows people everywhere and won't sugar coat outcomes, but he will keep swinging for the fence. I would highly recommend him and his beautiful staff.

David Dart is the worse lawayer ever During the first mediation for my divorce case he asking me to pay him 20k in advance if I want him to represent me. He is saying he has bills to pay even though I paid him 5k prior and nothing accomplished in fact he want me to accept my x wife demands. Also during the mediation he was yelling on his paralegal he forgot to mute the 🎤 In same day I FIRED him and hired another attorney and the outcome amazing 👏.

Response from owner

My entire office was disappointed to read the unfavorable review recently posted by Mr. Lazar Mansour on April 2, 2024. Divorce work is difficult and we work very hard to provide accurate advice and counsel in very trying situations. I am pleased that Mr. Mansour was satisfied with the outcome of his divorce case. I am very familiar with the lawyer he hired to replace me. I have great professional respect for his new lawyer and her firm. Unfortunately, the content of Lazar Mansour's review is misleading, incomplete and inaccurate. I bear Mr. Mansour no animosity and I wish him well going forward. Nonetheless, I must set the record straight by responding to his review.<br><br>My office was retained by Lazar Mansour in 2022 to initiate divorce proceedings. Per standard protocol, discovery, mediation and motion practice was undertaken. Lazar Mansour is an educated, intelligent man who has out earned his wife significantly throughout his twenty year marriage. Public filings in this case indicate that he was married for over twenty years. His wife earned little income during this time period, and remained out of the work force to care for children over significant periods of time. As a professional, I am obliged to provide accurate advice based on my best understanding of the law as it applies to the facts of a given case. <br><br>Mr. Mansour was of the firm opinion that he would not pay alimony, and that he should be awarded sole physical custody of the parties’ children. It was my opinion that Mr. Lazar Mansour was likely to be ordered to pay alimony, child support, and that he was not likely to be awarded sole physical custody. <br><br>I took no particular joy in advising Mr. Mansour of my opinion. Alimony is common in cases of long term marriage where one party has much more income than the other party. Nonetheless, I did advise him that alimony was highly likely and that equal parenting time was his best case scenario. In response, Mr. Mansour expressed the opinion that I was working for his wife's interest, and not his interests. I let him know that this was not the case, and that it might be best to hire a new lawyer. <br><br>Lazar Mansour reports that his new attorney achieved an "amazing outcome" in his divorce case. I have no doubt that replacement counsel did a very thorough job on his behalf. I reviewed the public record to familiarize myself with the outcome of his case. The online register of actions maintained by the court contains his divorce judgment, his child support order and his alimony order. The contents of these documents show that Mr. Mansour received results very similar to what I told him: Mr. Mansour was ordered to pay alimony, child support and he received equal parenting time with the parties' children.<br><br>Lazar Mansour claims that I demanded $20,000 in attorney fees from him. In fact, this did not occur. I did advise him that he was likely to incur a very large bill for legal services if he did not resolve his case on terms that were more realistic than his demands. It was my intention to resolve this case inexpensively and quickly. My review of the record shows that this did not occur, which is regrettable. My services were terminated in early February of 2023. The public record shows that this case went to arbitration which resulted in final judgment on February 16, 2024. Undoubtedly, this case was quite expensive insofar as it continued for over one year after my departure. I take no pride in saying that "I told ya so" but in fact I did "tell him so" and I have proof. <br><br>In conclusion, I stand behind the advice I gave and the representation I provided. I hope this response adequately explains my actions.<br>
