Click to report rating    2/1/23   5     5     5     5     5   I have been working with David Goldfarb for more than a decade. He said he would stay with me till the kids were 18, and he has. He has answered every question, fought every battle, and he knows our family well. It is not an impersonal relationship- if you hire David, he will care for and fight for your family as though it was his own! Additionally, he’s very proficient at his job. He comes from a background of being a prosecutor and a defense attorney, and he is extremely intense in the court room. In our most recent case, he tore the other attorney to shreds, and I cannot recall a single case where he hasn’t walked away with a solid win for us. Also, his paralegals are knowledgeable and accessible. I just cannot say enough. Legal battles no longer stress me out, because I know David has got this. I would say you can’t pay for this kind of peace of mind, this kind of legal protection, but you can by hiring him. RID: 263832
Click to report rating    2/7/17   5     5     5     5     5   David never makes promises about my case, but is realistic in which direction things could go. I was able to anticipate what to expect in the courtroom with his counseling. Greg and David were always available to assist me in questions in a timely response. The billing was reasonable and easy to read. Not to mention, David's courtroom presence can be described as a "fireball"; He listens attentively to the other party and catches their tactics with wording when I did not. When other attorneys said my evidence would be irrelevant in my divorce case, David made them relevant and saw the importance in presenting it. I believe it was because of his experience that I was able to receive the outcome I wanted. David knows the judges, and thats half the battle. My divorce has been a headache, but David got the pressure off me and on to the other party who was less than prepared in comparison. RID: 180248
Click to report rating    6/24/13   5     5     5     5     5   I feel David did an excellent job for myself and my child's best interest. He fought for us and what was right. RID: 117104
Click to report rating    2/20/13   5     5     5     5     5   Attorney Goldfarb and his asisstant Carolynn did an excellent job representing my son in a child custody case. Attorney Goldfarb was respectful, knowledgable , good at communicating and keeping us informed. My son had been to 3 other attorney's prior to meeting Attorney Goldfarb. If we had met Attorney Goldfarb first we would have save time and money and a great deal of stress. We are very thankful to Attorney for a job well done. I highly recommend him!! RID: 102463
Click to report rating    2/19/13   5     5     5     5     5   My experience working with Gillespie, Shields & Durant has been nothing but POSITIVE. I had a very difficult child custody case to say the least, in which I went through three lawyers, before finally choosing G.S&D. Once I was in the hands of David Goldfarb I knew everything would work out in my favor- and sure enough, I was treated with the utmost respect through out the entire process. David Goldfarb is THE BEST lawyer I have ever hired. He is a great lawyer who wont settle for anything less than perfection. Most lawyers I have hired were either too busy to keep me updated on my case, or were busy trying to "beat around the bush" and charge me for unnecessary things. This type of thing never happened here. If anyone wants a personable, dedicated, motivated, and knowledgeable lawyer, look no further. Make the right choice and ask choose David Goldfarb. RID: 102106
Click to report rating    7/24/12   5     5     5     5     5   David Goldfarb is one of the BEST attorneys in America! He is knowledgeable, brilliant, aggressive, and will fight for you as you ask. He is very responsive, prepares you for court, and is an advocate for you as well. He gives you a realistic view with no BS, and he will win your case hands down. David Goldfarb SAVED my family/baby and my life. You stay the way you are David, never back down in your belief and fight for your clients. You are ONE of a kind. I will never ever forget what you have done for me. Your endless motions, reading emails, going to court, tireless nights and days with my case. You deserve everything in life good %110! Thank you David RID: 77056
Click to report rating    10/12/11   5     1     1     2     1   Davis is a very knowledgeable attorney, who knows most of the judges in the county very well. Unfortunately he depends on those two attributes to much, while missing court deadlines, not preparing properly for trials, and in one case forgetting we had a hearing until we finally got a hold of him on his cell phone at 8pm the night before. For someone who asks for $250/hr regularly, while his paralegals charge over $100/hr, it just simply isn't worth it. The errors and forgetfulness of his office included, I can't recommend David. Filing our pretrial statement after the deadline was the last string. RID: 53133
Click to report rating    6/29/11   5     5     5     5     5   After contacting one of the number one rated Family Law attorneys in Arizona and being told that our case didn't have a chance we found Mr. David Goldfarb on the internet and turned to him for help. Not only was David sympathetic to our situation but he saw us through our whole case to a 100% victory! David knows the law impeccably as well as the judges and lawyers in the Arizona area. His advice is sound and he isn't afraid to tell you if you are heading in the wrong direction. Thank you David for your tireless hours of work, endless patience and tenacity in conquering our case and in ultimately ensuring the physical and psychological well being of our child. RID: 47827
Click to report rating    6/23/11   5     5     5     5     5   Very professional, competent and knowledgeable! He knew every detail about my case within a day or two (wasnt able to retain him until two days before my evidentiary hearing!) He was very accomodating to my schedule and sensitive to my needs. I was very impressed with his knowledge of family law, his courtroom presence and his ability to cut to the chase, without costing me a fortune for file review! It was nice to see an attorney who really did care for a change! I would HIGHLY recommend David to anyone needing a family law attorney. RID: 47562
Click to report rating    6/10/11   5     5     5     5     5   Nothing but praise for David. He was the bulldog attorney I needed to fight for me in mediation and in court and I am thrilled with the results. My ex-husband refused to pay me the full equity we agreed on from our former home (that he still owns) because the housing market fell and he refused to give me my share of his stock options due to a "technicality" in the final decree. David was always responsive, easy to talk to and really cared about my future financial well-being. David is a no-nonsense lawyer who wasn't willing to bend at all regarding what would be a fair and final settlement for me. He went toe-to-toe with my ex and his lawyer and WON! I am extremely happy with the outcome--thank you David! I have already recommended him to friends and family! RID: 46942
Click to report rating    4/11/11   5     5     5     5     5   I had been to see a lawyer previously and was very frustrated as he would not listen to how I wanted my divorce handled. When I met with David, he not only completely understood my intentions but made a point of showing me ways that would be cost-effective in managing it. Because of him, my divorce was done in record time with absolutely no fights between me and my ex. It was simple, fast and exactly what I wanted. Thank you David. RID: 44099
Click to report rating    2/24/11   5     5     5     5     5   I went into my child custody case with three goals, and I thought my child and I were entitled to them all. I didn't have a lot of physical evidence for my claims. I figured it would be a typical 'He said She said' case and was concerned the respondent would be able to talk his way to a unfair ending. Well, David developed a case and we walked out of court with EVERYTHING we wanted! RID: 41536
Click to report rating    12/29/10   5     4     5     5     3   I was very pleased with the work David did for me. I was in a very bad situation with little time to work with and David Goldfarb pulled through getting me an agreement so that I did not lose my son. I would use David again and would recommend him to anyone. RID: 38924
Click to report rating    12/27/10   5     5     5     5     5   I contacted several attorneys about my relocation custody battle. David Goldfarb was the only one who actually wanted to work hard on my relocation case on such short notice. RID: 38873
Click to report rating    12/2/10   5     5     5     5     5   I have nothing but good things to say about David. He was compassionate towards my situation, and was always upfront with me. David, and Greg, were there for me throughout the whole process, and as my case progressed, our communications became more frequent. He was confident and prepared every step of the way. David is very comfortable in the court room and in front of a judge. His performance in court was outstanding. We just won my case, and actually got everything I was asking for. All of his reassurances came true. He knew exactly what he was doing. I highly recommend David Goldfarb. RID: 37976
Click to report rating    10/26/10   1     1     1     1     1   David promised a lot and delivered little. I wish he was as tenacious in my case as he was in collecting fees RID: 36565
Click to report rating    8/25/10   5     4     5     5     5   The bottom line is I went into my child custody case with five goals, and I thought although my child and I were entitled to them all... I didn't have a lot of physical backup/evidence for my claims. I figured it would be a typical 'He said / She said' case and was concerned the respondent would be able to talk his way to a unfair ending. Well, David helped me find and produce evidence supporting my claims, developed a case around it, and we walked out of court with EVERYTHING we wanted and needed. There isn't one thing I sought in this case that I didn't end up getting. Enough said! RID: 33828
Click to report rating    7/31/10   5     5     5     5     5   David was very concerned on getting us the help we needed. He was even suprised that the judge sideded with us as the fathers side of a custody case where the mother had always been the primary care giver. Because of the evidence that he presented . David was great on bringing up the revelant information to our case to maxamize the impact to the judge. We will recommend David to all of our friends and family if needed. RID: 32849
Click to report rating    7/12/10   5     5     5     5     5   I found David when I first began searching for lawyers, quickly after speaking to several firms, I realized there was no way I would be able to afford an attorney. David reached out to me and recommended a payment plan I couldn't refuse. If it wasn't for his kind act of faith, I wouldn't have been able to afford representation. David was aggressive and relentless with my case. He always answered all my questions and explained to me step by step what to expect. When it came to our final trial, it was obvious David knew the laws inside and out. Thank you so much David and Carolynn, you guys change my families life! RID: 32225
Click to report rating    7/10/10   5     5     5     5     5   This attorney was extremely sympathetic to my needs, handheld me through my very emotional and at times traumatic times, communicated well with me and was incredible in court. He is a true litigator with much experience, charisma, and knowledge. He is direct and seems to know what the Judges are looking for in a case. I would recommend him to anyone and will. RID: 32184
Click to report rating    7/17/09   2     1     1     1     1   Never filed anything on time, with excuse after excuse. Paper work a mess. At one time listed himself as representing the other party. Filed the wrong copy of divorce papers with promises to fix it the next day, which he never did. Even charged for phone calls when I requested he fix his mistakes. Stay away from this one or you'll feel as ripped off as me. RID: 20143
