I recommend Sarnacki Law for anyone going through divorce (tumultuous or otherwise). David and Tammy are the most professional and effective team I have had the pleasure to work with. David knows his stuff and his support on handling the emotional side of divorce is a great asset as well. We worked through local and intercountry systems and David was always there with great ideas and additional resources when required.

I am a strong and independent woman; I have never been brought to my knees as quickly as the divorce and custody situation I was forced to navigate. Dave Sarnacki and Tammy never, not once, gave me false hope. They took what I had and gave me the spectrum of possibilities. Attention to detail and concern for the truth flow through them. I leaned on them, heavily, and they got me through the really awful situations we had to work through. I speak highly of them always- they raise the bar both as professionals and as being relatable to what divorce can do to people. There is no better choice.

David did an excellent job. He was straightforward with me and didn't make huge promises like some lawyers. I told him I wanted what was fair and he worked with my husband's attorney from a huge law firm and we settled within 10 weeks. There was no dragging the case out to milk me for more money and I received a very fair settlement. Tammy, his assistant, is very knowledgeable and proficient, and contrary to what another reviewer said, it saved me money by working through her rather than spending more money talking directly with David. I would highly recommend this law firm.

David was exceptional throughout my divorce. He was incredibly thorough, always responsive, and provided unwavering support. His respectful and compassionate approach made a difficult time much easier for me. Highly recommend David for anyone needing a top-notch divorce attorney. Thank you for your outstanding service!

I've worked with David and his assistant, Tammy, over the years, starting back in 2002. David is very kind and professional. He knows his business and he got me some great results from my divorce as well as with other document agreements over the past 5 years. He and Tammy were always available when i had questions or needed answers. The results for me in my experiences with David were exceptional and i was able to move on with my life knowing I was protected and financially and independently sound. If ever needed in the future, David will always be my go to. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney!

I would give them a less of a star but it won’t let me. Mr. Sarnacki is very arrogant and lazy he chose to have his paralegal do majority of my case when I hired him I thought I was paying for $410 a hour for him Not realizing he has his $20 an hour paralegal doing it all. I spent nearly $40,000 with him and he set me up for failure. fortunately I switched and hired great attorneys I spent another 600,000 and won my case. It is from my understanding and his reputation amongst his peers that he’s on his own and doesn’t work for a major firm because he’s lazy. I witnessed it firsthand. My attorney had acquired three of his clients in 2020 alone because he wasn’t doing the job they expected of him. I would never recommend him he’s washed up burned out and doesn’t like to work he likes to stick his hand out for his big fat paycheck which he doesn’t deserve. he should bump Tammy‘s pay she did all the work.

I couldn't have asked for someone better. At times he seemed like both a lawyer and psychologist by how he took control of issues with empathy and compassion, seeing me as a person rather than a case. I knew Mr. Sarnacki had a long record of integrity and as a fighter for vulnerable individuals in the community, but I was continuously blown away by the individualized treatment I received. I am thankful to have one of the best divorce lawyers in the country right here in Grand Rapids, and recommend him to everyone I know!

Exactly what you want and need in a divorce attorney: Mr. Sarnacki knows the law, always acts in the best interest of his client, is kind and caring, a very good listener and communicator, very professional, doesn't waste time. He is a man of integrity. Bonus: he has a great sense of humor which he uses at the perfect times. He helped me through the worst time of my life with skill, reassurance, and compassion. It's not just a case to him, it's someone's life. Everyone I've referred to Mr. Sarnacki has been pleased with working with him and with the outcome.

Part of the battle in dealing with the law is not understanding what it requires of you and therefore feeling uncertain and worried A LOT. David Sarnacki explained the process, the options and the alternatives. He and his staff went above and beyond to answer questions and provide explanations. They always provided a path that kept me feeling safe, and always advised me if they felt an option would be to my benefit, or to steer me away from options that could prove harmful. In short, they acted as a friend would, to do their best to ensure the best outcome for me.

I initially hired David over 10 years ago to handle my very contentious divorce case. David was measured in his responses to the opposing attorney and was quickly able to put a stop to some of the legal maneuvers designed to cost me money. David, and his assistant Tammy, were very caring and empathetic of the situation, but also able to glean out the details they knew and understood to be important in the case. They fought tirelessly, over two years for the initial case, to arrive at a fair settlement for property, child support and parenting time. Throughout the process, I was prepped for each stage and meeting as well as involved in the strategy and planning. This was a team effort and David and Tammy were my team. Since the divorce was finalized, I have hired David subsequent times to help with on-going challenges related to custody that spanned 10 years. Fortunately, through David and Tammy’s hard work, these issues have been resolved very satisfactorily. David counseled me on strategy and long term outcomes through the entire process and over several different difficult situations. Throughout the process, David was honest about outcomes, where he could be effective, when I needed to just stick it out and make the best of a difficult situation or where we could seek and receive legal relief. David and Tammy were also mindful of the money being spent and careful with resources, mine and theirs. They understand that hiring an attorney is a large expense and take that consideration seriously. I never felt like David was only in the game for money, but rather because he loves helping people through his knowledge of the law. David’s rates are competitive and given the amount of experience he has within his field, extremely fair. David’s relationships with local attorneys and those within the legal field are also invaluable. He is a respected professional and that is evident in his work and record. Not only is David successful, but he operates with integrity. He isn’t afraid to dig in and fight for his client, but it is with integrity, honestly and strategy. I would not hesitate to hire David again for my own legal needs or to recommend him to others. In fact, I have recommended David to several others and is the only attorney to whom I give that recommendation.

Since hiring David Sarnacki I've had to spend thousands of dollars cleaning up mistakes in my initial Judgment of Divorce. The only time he connected me was when he was checking on payment. Unfortunately I stayed with him throughout the divorce. I kick myself everyday for not cutting ties with him sooner.

No one expects to end up going through a divorce but I feel blessed to have found Mr. Sarnacki to represent me. Not only was he able to get me a fair division of assets but he also was "there" for me. He treated me with respect and concern for my well being. I would highly recommend him!!
