What a difference an experienced lawyer does make. With David Tobin, It was a legal experience, but it was also therapeutic in some ways because he seemed to know exactly what I was going through and his confidence gave me confidence through the process. Can't thank him enough. It's great to move on.

As a fellow lawyer practicing in personal injury and employment law, I have known David for several years and can speak to his integrity, commitment and abilities. I would not hesitate to refer clients to David who require family law legal services as I am confident their legal issues will be professionally handled with the utmost competence.

I was going through a tough divorce and David Tobin made my journey through it much more bearable with his positivity, kindness, and patience. Most importantly, David's legal knowledge and wisdom truly made this process a lot less stressful than it could have been as we received a positive outcome. David's warm nature made him a friend that I could turn to through this trying time. I would highly recommend David as he is the definition of a genuine and reliable lawyer.

I would highly recommend David Frenkel. My experience with David was exceptional. David is a strong and dedicated lawyer who protects your interests and truly cares. I went through a difficult separation and custody battle and felt very alone and lost. David took a genuine interest in my case and was very attentive and empathetic. He understood what I was going through, and defended my rights and protected my children's best interests. I felt comforted and safe, and trusted David implicitly and completely. As a result of David's diligence and expertise, I gained sole custody of my children and appropriate child support. Following my settlement, David encouraged me to call if I needed assistance. I emailed David months later for help with damages to my home and he quickly responded. David was genuinely concerned about our well-being. He contacted my property manager right away and arranged for the damages to be repaired. Though I was no longer a client, David continued to be a tireless advocate. I am forever grateful and indebted to David for his kindness and support. I highly recommend David Frenkel to anyone seeking experienced and compassionate legal counsel for their Family Law matters.

I had David Tobin as my lawyer during very complex and stressfull situation related to Family law field. I can say only good things about him and his firm ( all people who work there are very kind, compassionate professionals). If you need a Family law expert to help you and your family, do not hesitate and hire him as your lawyer. David also is very delicate and compassionate as a human being. I'm aware and experienced myself that many people in this profession become insensitive and cold . But this is not the case with David and this law firm. All the best to all who reading this.
