Going through a divorce is never easy, but from my first meeting with David Wolkowitz, I knew I was in good hands. David and his team made the process as smooth and stress-free as it could possibly be. He answered all of my questions, walked me through the entire process clearly, and made sure I understood what to expect every step of the way. David remained available throughout the process, and I worked closely with Sam, his paralegal, who was outstanding. Clear, concise, and always timely -- every interaction with Sam was exactly what you need during a stressful time. David's expertise and Sam's exceptional support make The Wolkowitz Law Office one I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone navigating a divorce. read more

I'm very grateful to Dave and Sam for their support during my divorce process. Both of them were professional, responsive, and sensitive to my need for the case to be completed quickly. Fortunately, my situation didn't involve major complications, and thanks to Dave's guidance everything was handled efficiently and without unnecessary delays. Thank you, Dave and Sam! read more

Rude attitude. Could be good at cases but commucation also matters especially given these are sensitive matters that people are going through. read more

Great lawyer, and surprisingly good value. When I contacted lawyers for my divorce, I was worried that it would turn into a mess. My husband and I were not quite in agreement, and I heard stories about things getting very unpleasant. Attorney Dave came up with some good solutions, and we were able to work it out to get an uncontested divorce. I would recommend this law firm to others who want to get divorced without creating an unnecessary disaster. read more

This is the attorney you want. Divorce is painful. Dave and Sam took care of everything in a efficient professional manner . I don't want to go into detail but Dave guided me through to a satisfactory result and he gives you good solid information. This is the guy you want in your corner. read more

I would HIGHLY recommend David Wolkowitz to anyone that is searching for a lawyer. I recently used his services for my divorce. David knew that this was an emotional time for me and he was extremely Professional and yet always Personable on phone calls , emails and when we met in person. I always felt that he had my best interests in mind and that I had him in my corner as I made my way through the various legal steps. Chris read more

I had consulted with David more than once and he was always available, his rates are reasonable, and the reviews speak for themselves. Very knowledgeable and professional. read more

Must not be a morning person! Dave answered my call only to be unprofessional and rude. I ended up just hanging up for the lack of interest in me talking. He has a few reviews on his google which also ( I SUGGEST CHECKING THERE TOO) mention his nasty arrogant attitude. Can't be a coincidence right? He comments on all post which are not in his favor or make him look good and he states they are false. People will see it for themselves. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT CALLING, there are better offices. read more

Dave made my highly-contested case a big win! Do not be deceived by the two negative reviews in the past month. Dave Wolkowitz is top-notch. When a reviewer has to resort to name-calling and has no details to his/her case, you have to suspect that something is more wrong with the reviewer than the attorney. From the very beginning, I came to Dave with a case that proved to be quite challenging. Unlike any normal uncontested case, this one proved to be highly-contested and lasted for over 2 years. Throughout this process, there were two trials; an extended order of protection; supervised parenting; financial settlements; property-separation settlements; a court-appointed psychiatrist for custody evaluation; a guardian ad litem; expert witnesses; court transcripts; and hours and hours of testimony. Through it all, Dave was patient, attentive, kind and effective. Dave knew what to do and how to go about doing it, even before the opposing counsel acted. This divorce could have easily costed over hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dave was so cost-conscious that this divorce cost well less than even one hundred thousand dollars! My ex-spouse spent an estimate of three times as much, using four to five lawyers who threw everything but the kitchen sink at us, in court. Dave handled these motions, seamlessly, and with a disciplined fiscal responsibility that would make any member of Congress envious. Dave not only saved me heaps in the divorce, he was highly effective in neutralizing the opposing counsel (OC). One of the OCs tried to steer the case to a different court and by a different process. Dave was not fooled and fought to keep everything on track. Another OC literally tried to belittle him before the Judge, but Dave remained calm and determined. A third OC tried to justify a part of the law in an inaccurate manner, but Dave immediately retorted the correct interpretation. Dave knew the section and subsection of the law right away and brought this to the Court. Folks, this is what makes a good lawyer! Dave knows the law and he is quick on his feet. Dave also knows where to get good resources to back him up. In my case, Dave consulted with a psychiatrist and successfully discredited not one, but two of my ex-spouse's psychiatrists! This was a key battle in my case that I believe ultimately won me full custody of my child and everything else I wanted from the Court. And, because he is quick on his feet, Dave was able to discredit the major positions of both psychiatrists by simply demonstrate how they conflict their own logic and conclusions. Bottom line, if you want a lawyer with a quick wit and an in-depth knowledge of the law, then Dave is your man. Let's be honest, going through a divorce, especially a non-contested one and for the first time, can be emotionally exhausting. Dave made the situation comfortable, with his sense of humor, kind rapport and reassurance with a battle plan. He is open-minded; continuously asking for my input; without requiring me to take time off of work to go to Court every time the OC thinks of something else to falsely accuse me of doing. Even when one OC tried to get me in trouble with my job by involving Human Resources, Dave was there to reassure me and keep me focused on the end-goal. Every OC tried to provoke me in some way (hey, it's what lawyers are known for, right?), Dave showed compassion and understanding - something you normally do not expect from a lawyer. All of this, while keeping general costs low and offering discounts, helped making this divorce yield the best results one could ever ask for. Even as we speak, my ex-spouse is seriously considering an appeal. Dave has offered to file the brief on my behalf for... get ready... Free! What kind of lawyer does this? Dave, that's who. By the way, I found Dave after carefully researching reviews on Yelp and other sites. Obviously, for me, the positive reviews were all true and it was well worth retaining Dave Wolkowitz. read more

Dave was absolutely great. I literally had no idea about the process of legal divorce and he walked me through it all and also answered my questions. He was patient and thorough. He remained available and efficient in returning my calls/texts/emails. This made the entire process less stressful. All legalities were resolved quickly and precisely. During the time i used his services he had a flat fee rate for uncontested divorce which was not too costly. I'd recommend him for sure! Thanks Dave. read more

I recently contracted David Wolkowitz to do an uncontested divorce. It was fairly straight forward but my ex did have a few minor things that she wanted changed in the divorce agreement. Dave worked with me in allowing payments over a 5 week period before initiating the proceedings which was a major help. Dave diligently made the changes requested or advised me on why it would not be a good idea to accept the changes. Come court date, Dave had a young lady named Krissie working with us who was absolutely wonderful. Her demeanor completely took away any stress we were feeling from the unknown and uncertainty of the whole process. My ex and I were never the type that were constantly at each others' throats, but nevertheless there were some moments of tension and Dave and Krissie helped us navigate those moments skillfully and thoughtfully. Dave charged me what I believe to be a very reasonable and fair price for the uncontested divorce. He was prompt in his replies to my questions. I would highly recommend that you give the Wolkowitz Law Office the opportunity to earn your business. read more

I came to Dave with an out of state order. He was fast in returning my call and gave me sound advice. I didn't have much time to waste and because I was dealing with an out of state order which made matters more complicated. My case wasn't the usual, it was difficult, and on a time restraint. Dave looked at my case at all angles. What I could do and what needed to be done. But always working in my best interest and what needed to be done to protect me. After all, that is the reason why you hire counsel. Bottom line, Dave got the job done I hired him to do. I settled my case, secured the assets I was awarded, and all in less than 8 weeks. My previous out of state attorney did nothing consistent but charge me and made the process worst for me. By being negligent, unresponsive, and dishonest. The cost I paid for poor representation was not just money wasted but valuable time and peace. Dave was honest, upfront, and worth the money. His pricing is comparable to what most attorneys charge. But I've found his billing to be fair and he didn't nickel and dime charges which some attorneys or firms will do. I ended up having to fly from out of state to attend the hearing but it was worth the effort. You will find some attorney s are in it for the money. But if your lucky you will find an attorney that actually takes their job seriously and will work in your best interest within the law to get the best result. That is Dave Wolkowitz. Choose wisely when picking your attorney because it could cost you in more ways than one. read more

I was very happy with David. Responsive, understanding, affordable. It was a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend him.

I am very happy with the outcome of my divorce and the advice I received from Dave. He was realistic and gave me great advice on what to expect. He was also very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. My divorce was a no contest divorce and went extremely smooth thanks to Dave. I was able to get the divorce done from filing to finish in exactly one month. Dave was great with filing everything and organized in letting me know exactly what I needed to do. Lawyers have a bad name but Dave seems like one of the honest ones. I paid a retainer and he even refunded a good portion of my money back after the divorce without me even asking. I would be willing to bet very few lawyers would do that. I would recommend Dave to anyone. Thanks Dave, you're awesome! read more

I retained Dave for an uncontested divorce. His rates were extremely competitive. He also walked me through the documents that needed to be completed, and thus the time I spent completing them was minimal. Communication from him was great, and I was prepared when I went for the hearing. Overall, excellent way to handle this. read more

Dave Wolkowitz was very helpful in my uncontested divorce, it was relatively quick and painless, I thought it was going to be a bigger headache,(but don't worry my now ex wife made sure to still give me a headache during the process, but who can escape that?) as I was in a Same sex marriage but everything moved along smoothly, he's intelligent, sensitive, personable and organized. I was having issues finding a lawyer that handled same sex divorces, and was relived to find him, compared to others he's reasonably priced, has a keen understanding of the law and what we needed to do, and no hidden fees or surprises, very straight forward, and confident. I would certainly recommend attorney Dave Wolkowitz, and I'm holding on to his information for anyone that may need him within my inner circles! read more

I found Dave via Yelp several years ago when I wanted to file for divorce. I originally thought it would be uncontested, so I paid him a flat fee. My now ex-husband and I decided to give it another try, and Dave refunded me the ENTIRE RETAINER. I was shocked. He was the first of about ten attorneys I have used in the past who actually gave me money back. It was for that reason, combined with his honest approach, that prompted me to call him six months later when my now ex-husband threatened to kill me and I filed for divorce. Dave successfully maneuvered the unpleasant divorce process better and more directly and creatively than any other attorney I've seen, and that alone is unusual. I never felt he was milking me for more money, nor did I feel he was dragging out the process. In my opinion, he was the best and most honest attorney I've known, and I recommend him to everyone who asks. read more

David made my uncontested divorce very simple. He was very communicative via text and email, and always available to answer my questions. His rates are competitive, and my divorce took about a month and a half from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

A great law firm. Dave is highly professional and understands the emotional situations that his client is in during the entire case. His service is commendable and he tried his best to understand my mind set during the divorce and get the best solutions as per my interest. He always made sure he is always available on calls/text/ emails for discussions. He never made me feel i was dealing with an attorney. His mentoring and supports throughout the case made it much easier. At first I had thought it would be a simple case but my ex-husband tried his best to make it as much hassle and stressful he could make it. But dave was consistent and knowledgeable enough to handle every situations and keep myself in the best possible comfort situation he could.Finally he made sure the divorce get finalized as per what I had expected it to be. I feel myself glad to have Dave as my attorney!! read more

Best divorce ever! Ok, my first divorce, but David was amazing. I was having issues working out dissolving my civil union in Chicago while I lived in NY. David made the process super easy, and even followed up with me when I forgot to reply to emails. He has great manner, is easy to talk to, and I genuinely enjoyed my big gay divorce! He's especially knowledgable about civil unions and gay/queer arrangements, and didn't make me feel like an alien for needing an out of state civil union dissolution. Thanks so much! read more

David did a great job with a complicated divorce. He was very affordable and very prompt with all communications. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Years ago I was in a mess of a situation to which I called up David for consultation. He was attentive and gave great advice to my situation. Unfortunately, I didn't have the courage nor strength to take his advice. Everything that David predicted came true for me down the road. He tried warning and helping me but I guess I wasn't ready to make the hard choices . Regardless, David is an honest man who will point out clearly the options one has. I highly recommend him if you need a good lawyer. read more
