This guy is a joke. If you see a lawyer here with more than 2 negative reviews- stay away. Don't hire this guy.

Although this may be something that you want in my case in 2019 David went overboard and ruined my relationship with my ex due to his vociferous disingenuous and vicious tactics I do think he has good qualities and is highly responsive but rude and arrogant as well. Avoid if you don't want to make your ex an enemy needlessly.

This man is a fraud is not worth the ridiculous price given massive incompetence.

Doesn’t know what he’s doing! He doesn’t answer his calls Anne is never available. Pretty rude when you talk to him.

My divorce process was complicated, lengthy, and often disheartening, yet through it all I knew I could count on David to put my long-term interests first. He is an exceptional attorney—a strong litigator with impressive, current knowledge of the law, and excellent writing skills. He is responsive, attentive to even the smallest detail, and relentless on behalf of his clients. Equally important, he is a man of integrity, with strong family values. David understands how difficult divorce can be. He knows when to be sensitive, when to stand firm—and how to achieve the best possible results. I could not have picked a better man/attorney to handle my divorce.

Thanks to Mr.Tawil i lost everything, any stars? FOR WHAT??? HE knows only how to charge you $400 per hour send a email and phone calls , grate job ! Thank you and see you in the court!

Just when I thought all was lost in my post-divorce settlement, Dave stepped in got me the money owed to me plus interest! He is smart, extremely responsive, and tenacious until the very end. His victory was my victory and I am truly grateful to have him on my side. If you are searching for a family law attorney, look no further!

Mr. Tawil and the firm Budd Larner is horribly inept at navigating the process of divorce. Mr. Tawil's firm represented that they were versed in New York State matrimonial process but nothing could be further from the truth. They counseled me to accept a lousy Pendente Lite agreement for support and equitable distribution, ran my bill up well into 6 figures putting multiple attorneys on my very basic divorce knowing the situation would never allow me to pay their fees; they were never able to negotiate with the adversary, never brought my case to trial and then abandoned me to fend for myself in front of an emergency order. This firm's actions border on malpractice, while Mr. Tawil is a cog in the machine, he has a fiduciary responsibility to his client to properly handle their case. Shame on Budd Larner and it's partners, they shouldn't be practicing in New York State. If I could give them NEGATIVE 5 stars I would.

David Tawil successfully negotiated my divorce settlement after a four year contentious separation. David took his time getting to know me, what issues concerned me and always prioritized my financial wellbeing, as well as the social and emotional wellbeing of my two young children. David read thoroughly every document exchanged in this case, some with complex financial metrics. In fact, David caught an error made by the adversary which resulted in a significant financial shift in my favor in the ultimate settlement of my case. David was firm yet fair with our adversaries, two named partners of a highly reputable matrimonial firm, as well as with the numerous mediators and the judge in our case. David was always timely with his deadlines and document exchanges, and he never presented drafts for my approval at the last minute. I was always given ample time to consider the terms and ask questions. Since he knew that "number crunching" was not my strong suit, he always made the time to meet with me, walk me through all of the parameters and ensure that I was fully comfortable with the ongoing proceedings. I knew that I could fully trust him, and his work and dedication made me feel very comfortable and secure in my position. Always up on recent laws and statutory changes, David successfully lead and advised our adversary in our many mediation sessions, and ensured that the changes to New Jersey law did not negatively impact my final settlement. Finally, myself being an attorney, I was not an easy client. David was a true friend and advisor during my four year process. He always listened and gave me heartfelt advice that would help me along in the process and helped me determine strategies to gain advantage in my settlement. I am beyond pleased with the terms of my settlement and would happily refer any friend or family member to use David Tawil.

I originally came to a firm to meet another lawyer and David just filled in for the introduction. I liked him immediately and decided to go with him instead of the other lawyer I came to see that day. I like David because he is real and he tells it like it is. He is a family man and understood the pain of my situation. I did not feel like a number or just another client, I felt like he really cared about getting me the support I needed and deserved. I never felt rushed or pushed along. He explained everything in simple terms, as many times as I needed, so I fully understood what was going on in my case and what my options were. I felt that he was respectful to all involved yet firm and grounded. My case took a lot of negotiation and David was extremely knowledgeable and creative in problem solving the matters at hand. He did not take a "one size fits all" approach and that is what I needed. There were times when I needed to be heard and times when I needed to listen and he navigated this beautifully. His people skills are his strength and it ended up making all the difference in my case. He was the perfect balance of firm yet flexible, it just worked for me. Thank you David.

David Tawil provided unparalleled legal advice and counsel throughout the course of my divorce proceedings. He was easy to reach at all times and his calm and cool demeanor insured that emotions did not get the best of either party. He helped guide me through this difficult process by maintaining clear perspective and I am completely satisfied that the outcome was fair and equitable for both parties.

David is a results driven attorney. His no nonsense approach at first seems harsh but that is just personal emotions responding to the reality of the situation. His understanding of the personal situation and expertise is what I found most appealing. He is always considering the outcome for his client, that it be fair, efficient and 100 percent complete. David is always available and never left me guessing. It is rare to find a lawyer answering his own phone and responding to emails but David did. I never felt like my case was being forgotten. The entire firm of Budd Larner made me feel like I was the most important client . I felt represented in the most positive of ways. His professionalism in the court room justified my choice for trusting David. There is no need to look further than David Tawill when searching for a divorce attorney. He can be trusted to his job which is to win for his clients. I left the courtroom feeling vindicated and a winner because of the solid skills of David .
