After spending nearly $40,000 on multiple attorneys and making no real progress in my custody case, I had honestly started to lose hope. My ex-wife was unreasonable and prevented me from being an active father to our children, and despite hiring several lawyers, I kept losing ground in court. My wife encouraged me to speak with David Pazdrazas, and I am extremely glad I did! Out of five attorneys I worked with, David was the ONLY ONE who was truly able to make a difference in my case. For the first time, I began to see real momentum and balance. I was able to gain additional custody time, and we were even able to have my ex-wife held in contempt due to her behavior. It was an incredible feeling to finally see the case moving in the right direction. David is phenomenal in the courtroom. When you see him argue a case, you immediately know you have a powerful advocate on your side. He focuses on the facts, stays organized, and presents the case clearly and effectively. He is also extremely responsive. He returns calls, responds to questions, and keeps things moving. David is a busy attorney, but he manages his workload efficiently and handles his cases with professionalism and excellence. If you are dealing with a difficult custody situation and need someone who can truly make an impact in court, I highly recommend David Pazdrazas. Thanks to him, I am finally able to be involved in my kids lives.

My experience with David Pedrazas as opposing counsel was disappointing. This case involved an LGBTQ family, a 9-year-old child, and complex parentage issues. I was married to my son's birth mother for more than a decade, signed the hospital-issued birth certificate when he was born, cut his umbilical cord, changed his first diaper, and was ultimately recognized by the court as his lawful parent. Despite that, a considerable amount of time, money, and energy was spent challenging my parental status and my relationship with my son. At various points, I felt like I had accidentally wandered into the legal version of the Twilight Zone. Arguments were made suggesting that I had signed my son's birth certificate unlawfully and that our son's donor had a parental role in his life. As someone who spent years helping my son through eating challenges, health concerns, and the everyday ups and downs of growing up, that was a difficult position to watch unfold. When those arguments were unsuccessful, the focus seemed to shift toward allegations about my character that I strongly disagreed with and did not believe were supported by the evidence presented in the case. I fully understand that attorneys are hired to advocate for their clients. However, in my opinion, this case became far more adversarial, expensive, and emotionally draining than it needed to be. Family court is hard enough without turning a resolution into a moving target. Most importantly, I believe the greatest impact was on our son. In the end, the court recognized what I had maintained all along: that I am my son's lawful parent. Others may have had a different experience. This one was mine.

I can’t say enough good things about David. From the very beginning, he is very personable, understanding, and easy to talk to during what was one of the most difficult times of my life. He took the time to really listen to me and explain my options. What stood out most was how much he went above and beyond when he truly didn’t need to. Whether it was answering questions quickly, guiding me through the process with patience, or anticipating things I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I never felt like “just another case.” He genuinely cares about each situation. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and dedicated, I highly recommend David.

Absolutely amazing attorney. Helped me with my divorce and offered some of the best advice I didnt ever think I would get from an attorney. And the best part was it all worked to get a much better outcome. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to call you out on your BS which ultimately helped to calm the waters so we could get to more peaceful resolutions. Will only be going back to David if I ever need a lawyer!

I first had the pleasure to work with David about 10 yrs ago with my divorce. Everything went smoothly with me getting full custody of my children and child support. Fast forward to about a year ago I contacted David once more to help me with arrears. After a couple bumps in the litigation and David doing an awesome job we won and I got everything I asked for. I can’t thank you enough David for fighting for me and helping me close that chapter in my life! Good always prevails!!
