Sympathetic and Knowledgeable
Working with David Bach was the best experience I’ve ever had with an attorney. Going through a divorce was really hard and David not only listened to me, he was sympathetic and knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process never leaving me to feel uncertain about what was happening. He presented me with information and let me make my informed decisions. I would recommend him highly to anyone having to walk through this painful process.
Stellar Attorney
Mr. Bach was a very impressive lawyer. He was extremely helpful with all of our legal concerns and patient as he worked us through some complicated matters that were crucial to our family. Without his guidance and perseverance our family would not be together. I recommend him as a very stellar attorney. Three out of three stars!
Clear and Concise
Dave provided assistance with my separation. He took special care to understand my situation and provided a separation agreement that was clear, concise, and legally binding. He helped be through a difficult time; his combination of professional skills and personal interaction made this process effective.
Best Results Possible
I had David help me with my divorce, which happened to be greatly complicated as the opposite side raised quite a few issues. Due to the special circumstances of the case, David had only a few days to prepare from scratch for a three day trial. He was able to grasp all the intricate details of the case and put together great arguments working to a very tight schedule. This was impressive. It demonstrates great intellectual abilities and willingness to work hard on the case. Besides, David’s performance in the courtroom was exceptional. He delivered his arguments in a very efficient way, sticking to the facts, and in a civil manner. Speaking from my experience, this attorney will put his best efforts and talents in preparation of the case, and throughout the trial. He will get the best results possible given whatever circumstances.
A Good Lawyer
David is a very good lawyer. He helped me obtain everything I needed in my matter. He fought for me to be the beneficiary of the matters always making sure i knew what was in my best interest and the whole time he was right. I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!
A Fantastic Lawyer
I was thrilled with Mr. Bach’s representation for my divorce. He kept me informed on all potential legal obstacles and guided me through a very difficult and confusing process. He was part advocate, part mediator, and part confidant. I could not recommend him any higher. I had every confidence that he was on the ball, had my best interests at heart, and could anticipate and avoid any possible pitfall. Thanks to Mr. Bach I am a divorced father who has full physical custody of all 4 of my children. That would not have happened without him.
Outstanding Job in Court
David takes a very laid back approach which I found very calming in the midst of such a contentious divorce. He always advised me to take the high road in my case which ultimately enabled me to get out of my divorce what was important to me. He always kept me informed as to what was happening and always looked for ways to reduce my costs, if possible. If there was something he didn’t know, he freely admitted it and researched the answer. Overall, he was very easy and comforting to work with and really did an outstanding job in court.
Professional and Helpful
David was very professional and helpful during a very trying time. He showed great confidence and guided us through every step in the process. We wouldn’t hesitate to call upon his services again if needed.
Supportive
Dave listened, explained, and encouraged me through the worst time of my life.
Professional and Prepared
While divorce is not pleasant, you made it manageable, and for that, I offer my sincere thanks.
Your explanation of the process was clear and concise. Furthermore, you prepared me for each step in the procedure, so I was aware of what might occur.
You were sensitive to my concerns, always professional, and yet when appropriate, used a bit of humor to mitigate the stressful nature of divorce.
Again, thank you for your pleasant professionalism during a very trying time for me.
Perfect Lawyer
… This is wonderful news..!! And, yes, we did do it. You were the perfect lawyer for me because you kept me from doing things that I would later regret, and that would serve no purpose other than to increase your bill. Thank you very much.
Professional Skills and Personal Guidance
Dear David,
I wanted you to know how much your care and concern in handling my case meant to me. I expect by default, no divorce fully turns out like one wants. However, thanks to your professional skills and personal guidance I was able to maintain a sense of control in tow of the most significant and life changing events I have faced, my divorce and the contest of custody for my children.
Through your direction and focus of my struggle you helped keep me and my daughters together. Your ability to listen to the facts of my case and understand my personal needs is in my view what allowed you to obtain the outcome I sought. Furthermore, your thoroughness in collecting and analyzing the supporting facts on my custody, and ensuring they were recognized and properly considered by the court and custody evaluator was fundamental in completing our success.
Funny, but when I hired you I didn’t fully understand your role as an attorney. While working with you I came to recognize you as a man who would provide me legal
representation, advice, personal management skills, strategy, paper work collection, a, data analysis, counseling, and reason. Still of the many skills you showed, I selected you to represent me because I felt I could talk to you and you would listen and respect my position as a father and not simply as a client. Thank you mostly for guiding me and being available to me in my time of need.Thank you Dave.
Compassionate and Attentive
David Bach represented me throughout divorce proceedings that were finalized in January 2007. David was referred to me as someone who is professional, thorough, diligent, and attentive. I learned that David possesses all of those characteristic, but also he exhibits a quality not found in many law practitioner…’compassion.’ David is not only compassionate toward his client’s circumstances, but also to all parties affected by the proceedings. I was particularly impressed by his concern and focus for the welfare of the children. Unfortunately, circumstances in life sometimes take us on a path were we did not expect to travel. However, if that is to happen, I would highly recommend David Bach to help navigate that road for you.
Honest and Available
David Bach was an excellent attorney. He really understood my issues regarding my case and worked hard to give me the best possible outcome. He was always honest with me and available when I needed him He was smart and offered very good strategies in handling my case. He also was very attuned to the bottom line, doing what needed to be done to get the case resolved with the best possible outcome for me and at the lowest possible cost. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needed his services and and I have.
Thorough Divorce Agreement
Deciding to divorce the father of my child was the hardest thing I ever did. I have worked in the legal industry for many years and everyone had a recommendation for a ‘good divorce lawyer’. I did some research on each recommendation and then met with two; one being David Bach. When I met David I was at the lowest point in my life and didn’t know how to look up. He assured me that we were in this together to do whatever would be in the best interest of my daughter. And we did. My spouse wouldn’t agree to any point in any agreement so the divorce dragged out for a L-O-N-G time. No matter how long it had been, whenever I called/emailed David, he responded; with a thought out response to whatever the issue at questions was. We put in all kinds of provisions in the custody agreement due to my ex-spouse’s contentious nature. After 3 years now, each time the ex and I have a disagreement about the care of our daughter I remind him (and myself) “let’s look at the custody agreement, I’m sure this has been negotiated already.” I have not come across an issue yet that had not been negotiated with the other attorney and hammered out by
David. That’s a ‘good divorce lawyer’. He had the foresight to fight the battle before we got there. I have more than once overheard my daughter tell her friends ‘it’s so much better now that they are divorced. I get the best of them’.
He Was About My Best Interests
Mr. Bach handled my divorce. He made every effort to make sure that my best interests were attorney-client experience during such a trying time.
Dedicated and Experienced
David Bach is very dedicated, experienced and professional lawyer. He gave my case time and attention it required to accomplished it successfully. I was so impressed with the organization of his works while providing me with highly responsive legal representation. Best of all he brought my life back…my two children.I can’t ask for more, he is truly a great lawyer!
Good Conclusion of Case
David has represented me twice now. I feel he listened to me needs and that we arrived at a good end in my divorce and custody settlements. I recommend him especially if you want to try to come to an end point that all can live with and not just knock heads.
Understanding and Honorable
David Bach was my attorney for my divorce case. I found him to not only be knowledgeable in his field, but felt he gave more than 100%. His approach was kind, understanding and honorable. I felt I was not just another case, but that he was truly concerned for my well-being as well as the outcome of the case. For any future family law concerns I would turn to Mr. Bach again.
Clear, Concise and Responsive
No one wants to need a divorce attorney, but if you find yourself in that unfortunate position, then the attorney to have on your side is David Bach. In my rather muddled situation, he was clear, concise, responsive, and available.
I was very, very fortunate to have him as my attorney.
David Truly Cares
David handled my divorce and I can’t praise him enough for the successful outcome of my case. His knowledge and ability to think outside the box is paying dividends to me for many years to come. It was very apparent to me that David truly cares about his clients and will do what it take to make it a successful experience.
Special treatment
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the work that you and your staff did for me and my fiancée with her case. The way you handled [her] case made us both feel confident and assured that we made the correct choice in choosing you as [her] attorney. We were both made to feel that we were being given special treatment by you and your staff. We are also very appreciative for the assistance with payment for our case. Once again we both thank you.
Sincerely
Cared about My Well Being
David is an amazing attorney who not only represented me well in my divorce but also cared about my well being and that of my children. He gave me wise and timely counsel throughout the process ensuring I had the evidence I needed to proceed. While the court testimony could have gotten very negative and very graphic, David represented me in a very dignified manner that respected everyone involved in the case. I would recommend David to anyone who is in the uncomfortable place of divorce.
Thank you David!
A Phenomenal Lawyer
I am so grateful that I was referred to David Bach. He is a phenomenal lawyer. Mr. Bach defended me when my son’s father filed a motion to modify custody and sought sole legal and exclusive physical custody. This was major blow after over a decade of co-parenting. Thanks to Mr. Bach’s expertise, he was able get to the heart of the case. After two days of trial I was awarded equal shared physical custody of my son. Which result was absolutely in my son’s best interests.
My case was drawn out. The father’s lawyer seemed to throw everything but the kitchen sink into the case. Mr. Bach was able to keep our efforts above board by relying on his expert understanding of the law. He was able to explain everything to me in a language that I could understand, and gave me extremely well informed advice.
Although I wouldn’t wish custody litigation on anyone, if you have to go through a case like this you want David Bach on your side.
I would highly recommend
My experience with Mr. Bach has been great. He has shown time over time during my “situation” with my ex-wife and child, that he is really trying to help my son. He truly does seem to be working in the child’s best Interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Bach to anyone that needs help with a family or custody issue.
Smart, diligent, thorough, and fair
David has been a close friend and my attorney for a very long time. He is a great attorney and an even better person. Smart, diligent, thorough, and fair. I have put an important part of my life in his hands and would not want to work with anyone else. If you are reading this and would ever want to talk to me about his services, I am always available.
Exceptional Understanding of the Law
My experience with Atty. David Bach has been one of “Professional Perfection”. Within one month of being introduced to his expertise, my case was solved just the way it was strategized! I recommend him to anyone that is having legal family affairs needing an advocate with exceptional understanding of the law to protect you. Thank you Atty. Bach and continued success.
Outstanding and gracious attorney
I was struggling with my divorce case, when I contacted Mr. Bach, he was quick to jump in to assist me with my paperwork, ensuring that all was correct. He saved me much grief and stress. Mr. Bach is kind, thoughtful and caring. He is a lifesaver. Thank you. Anne
Kind and Supportive
I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with David through my divorce. Though I wouldn’t wish the experience of divorce on anyone, I would highly recommend anyone going through it to contact David. Without any judgment and with the desire to understand the details of my scenario, he truly listened to my concerns every step of the way, then he ardently problem-solved and advocated on my behalf. He was patient in answering my questions and providing insight into variables I wouldn’t have thought to consider. He was kind and supportive throughout. He became my trusted partner through one of the hardest challenges I’ve experienced.
Top Level
Dave is a top level attorney, very professional and responsive.
Everything turned out well
I just want to say thank you for all the legal advice you have given me these past several months. Before my first appointment to see you, I admit to being a little uneasy. After our meeting I felt much better, and was comfortable talking to you about my divorce issues and procedures. I am glad to say everything turned out very well and again, I appreciate all that you have done.
Putting Together a Good Case
I don’t think people who experience divorce for the first time are aware of the time, effort and procedures which are involved with putting together a good case, and know even less about the laws in Maryland which apply. I went through a very complicated divorce which included custody and facing the prospect of having to pay indefinite alimony. Having David Bach as my attorney, a person who can see the bigger picture, prioritize tasks and employ strategy; this is what navigated me through my divorce He settled my case which included a very favorable custody outcome and capped the alimony to a fixed number of years.
Mr. Bach always made sure I knew where I stood at each milestone of the process. He explained every option available and also what risks were associated with those options. David is strategic in everything that he does. He reads others very well and is discerning in his actions. He took the time to explain the law as it applied to my case and I never felt like I was in the dark.
What struck me most about working with him, beyond his experience and professionalism, was the amount of respect the court and other attorneys have for him. Among those I interacted with throughout my divorce and other legal proceedings from clerks, judges, other attorneys and even opposing council; it was clear he has an outstanding reputation for both his work and his ethics.
Extremely Complicated Guardianship Case
My brother and I worked with David Bach on an adult guardianship case involving another brother. The situation was very emotionally charged, and Mr. Bach was always very empathetic and sensitive to our needs. Even more important was that the case, in the view of the judge and a court-appointed investigator, was extremely complicated, and Mr. Bach was able to navigate through a variety of unusual circumstances. I was very satisfied with the outcome, which protected my brother. I would recommend Mr. Bach to anyone looking for creativity, empathy, and success.
Attentive and Responsive to all my questions
Don’t hesitate to enlist the professional services of David Bach. I hired him to help me with some complicated guardianship issues involving my minor children. He has extensive experience dealing with the intricacies of guardianship cases and was thorough, attentive and responsive to all my questions. Because my particular case raised some unusual questions, David went out of his way to consult colleagues and to seek out other opinions before advising me how best to proceed. Most of all, David really took the time to listen to my concerns as we moved through each stage of my case. I highly recommend David Bach for your guardianship needs. He truly cares about his work and the people affected in his cases.
I trusted him to ensure my best interests
David Bach helped me through my divorce. He made what was unbearable, bearable. Dave was my shield in times where I was so unsure. When I was stressed and worried about what was on the road ahead, he took the time to explain to me the meanings behind the legal processes and what our plan of action would be. Many times he would say “we” or “our” about my case and it made me confident he was on my side and would watch out for me. He was my voice in the legal proceedings and I trusted him to ensure my best interests were always being sought. I highly recommend David Bach, he will help you through the difficulties you face!
Immediately understood my perspective on key issues
David handled my divorce case. I’m sure it was not as completely contentious as some divorces, but it certainly wasn’t expeditious or easy either. It was made difficult by delays in my spouse providing discovery documents, and by her eventually providing full sets of documents only upon repeated requests. My spouse also felt that she should “get everything.” One of the things that was great about David was that he immediately understood my perspective on key issues, and was able to articulate and frame my positions and strategy accordingly in completely convincing fashion. David was a complete advocate for me, I always felt like he was 100% on my side. At the same time, he was able to caution me and provide a realistic perspective when talking about how the court might or might not view something. So he was very strong in giving me reality checks, and letting me know when and how the court might or might not be agreeable with my perspective. David was ready to go to court or to work out a settlement, whichever was in my best interests. He was willing to go either way depending on my preference, and he did a great job in counselling me on the pros and cons. In the end, my spouse and I settled before going to court. It was not an entirely happy settlement for either of us given how strongly we both felt, but it was definitely the best thing to do, and the terms were a lot less expensive than a court battle. The thing that was best about David throughout the whole process was his responsiveness, his being 100% an advocate for me, and his wise counselling about options and strategy at every turn. David was also very fair in his time and pricing. His per-hour rate was competitive with others, and I never once felt like he was spending time just to be “running up a bill.”
Provided great counsel
David provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, knowledge, and very responsive. He even worked over the weekend and holidays to meet deadlines which I really appreciated. He provided great counsel and I always felt he had my best interests at heart.
I would highly recommend David as an attorney and wouldn’t hesitate to seek further representation from him again
He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective
David has been a godsend. We were using a different attorney for our daughter’s guardianship. We switched to David because we were very unhappy with the other attorney. David met with me on a weekend and by Monday he was our representative and was already setting us on a better course. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective. We recommend David without any reservation and we will continue to use his services for our legal needs.
Helped us through a very stressful experience
David Bach guided my wife and me through a complicated and emotionally difficult guardianship process for a family member. His congenial, down-to-earth but professional manner and calm, clear explanation of the legal processes and issues helped us through a very stressful experience and ultimately a successful outcome. He advised us how the court would look at the facts of the case and how best to present them in our petition. David met with us on weekends and was always responsive by phone and email – and listened to us and made sure he understood our needs and concerns. He kept us well apprised of changing events and circumstances, and provided well-considered advice – with clear explanation of pros and cons as well as risks – regarding our options. He was also detailed and fair in his billing. I would highly recommend David for anyone needing to create a guardianship to protect a loved one.
From start to finish the process was smooth
David is a knowledgeable, thorough, confident, compassionate, supportive and experienced lawyer. His depth of knowledge in the subject of divorce law was extremely comforting. He was also a good teacher explaining what my choices were at every step of the way. We efficiently worked through every detail together either over the phone or in emails.
The documents David prepared for me were clear and concise. David helped clarify what was in my best interest and the best interest of my child through settlement negotiations. David also prepared me ahead of time for every question that would be asked at the trial.
David was always responsive and clear about when he was not available. He was also clear when the topic drifted to something out of his lane. For instance he consulted the lawyer who did my prenuptial agreement to clarify how to proceed with some items. When asked if my child wouldn’t go with her dad on the selected days, he recommended consulting our child’s therapist. He also reached out to the Circuit Court to help with the child support process.
From start to finish the process was smooth. I am very thankful for David’s help.
I hired David Bach to handle my divorce. When I was stressed and worried about what was on the road ahead, he took the time to explain to me the meanings behind the legal processes and what our plan of action should be. He referred to my case as “Our Case” and I knew he would work for me to help me achieve my goals.
Law problems are serious and stressful, but you don’t have to face them alone. If you try to do everything yourself, just to save money, it will cost you more money in the long run. While the main objective is to settle out of court, Dave prepared my case for the possibility of trial. This allowed us to negotiate from a position of strength. If you need legal help, I highly recommend David Bach, he will help you through the difficulties you face!
Excellent job with arbitration
I’ve known David as a personal friend for over 35 years and when it came time to find an attorney I knew where to turn. David helped me through the process, calming my nerves and making an awful experience tolerable. We were able to avoid having to go to court because David did an excellent job with arbitration. I would recommend his services to anyone.
Achieved an outstanding outcome through intensive negotiations
I have been practicing law myself for over 50 years and gave up on doing family law frequently due to its complexity and its stresses. I met Dave Bach at least 10 years before my own marriage was on the rocks, and could not have been more pleased with his understanding of legal concepts and tactics in this difficult area. He guided me selflessly and professionally in every way and achieved an outstanding outcome through intensive negotiations with my wife’s attorney, permitting an uncontested divorce instead of an expensive train wreck in front of a judge that I still had to appear before after it was all over. Both before and after hiring Dave, I have recommended him to my own clients and acquaintances in need of sound advice in divorce, custody and also guardianship matters.
Working with Mr. Bach was a real pleasure. From our first telephone conversation, Mr. Bach took the time to listen and really understand all the details of my case. I knew from the beginning, that Mr. Bach was on my side. The expectations were clear and even during a pandemic, he took the time to promptly follow up with any updates on my case. I am very happy with the end result and would recommend him to any friends or family members in need of legal assistance.
Commitment to client service
Dave was my attorney for my divorce. It was not an easy case, but Dave was quick to grasp the complications and nuances of the case right from the beginning He was a 100% advocate on my behalf and was extremely supportive, while at the same time always presenting me with an honest and realistic assessment of the various dimensions and options of the case. My spouse was pretty unresponsive in terms of providing customary information, was in no hurry to move things along, and felt she was entitled to everything and more. Dave persisted in representing my interests in coming to a satisfactory resolution, and in the end my now-ex and I were able to work out a reasonable settlement agreement without the enormous expense of a full-blown court case (even though Dave was fully prepared to take this one to court if that had been the best solution). Dave’s commitment to client service was punctuated by his hanging in there and helping me work through a ridiculous post-settlement issue in which ex was refusing to go along with a clearly stated provision of the settlement agreement. Dave was an enthusiastic, insightful, understanding, and very effective advocate for me throughout the whole process.
Good counsel and empathy
Mr. Bach provided good counsel and empathy during an extremely contentious separation and divorce. His patience during the property settlement was extraordinary as there were times I felt the process would never end. Mr Bach was always personable and available to me throughout the pandemic when things seemed overwhelmingly bleak. For a client such as myself, who knew little about family law prior to separation, Mr Bach was a great choice.
David Bach represented me in my child support case against my ex-wife and was successful in getting my payments cut in half. David was very communicative with me throughout the entire process and responsive when I had questions that needed to be answered. I highly recommend David Bach if you’re going through a separation, have custody issues, or need help revisiting your child support payments.
Knowledge and Professionalism
I worked with David Bach on a difficult divorce after 30 plus years of marriage. He really guided the steps forward without pushing, but keeping the momentum going. He also was a huge help acting as the intermediary with the other parties. His knowledge and professionalism made the process understandable, and his friendliness made it less painful.
Very personable and empathetic
David Bach is a phenomenal attorney. With my particular divorce process, he was able to use his expertise, knowledge, and experience to give me the outcome that I wanted. He is very professional and is always on top of everything. He was always available whenever I needed to ask him about anything related to the case. He is thorough and walked me through the technicalities of a case. On top of all that, he is very personable and empathetic. He was a friend to me during the entire process. 5/5 rating. I would highly recommend him as an attorney! Thanks again for everything Dave!
Unflappable
David Bach was the second attorney I retained to handle my divorce. He clearly explained all my options and respected my decisions. He worked to accomplish my goals as efficiently as possible without pressure to seek a different path. He was unflappable in the face of my ex’s posturing and injected a dose of humor into a painful process. It would have been a much faster and less frustrating process if I had started with him from the beginning.
Listened to my concerns
I am grateful to Dave for the work he did on my behalf in my divorce. He was responsive, listened to my concerns and advocated for me. He worked to make compromises to meet everyone’s needs, despite my ex and his attorney being very antagonistic. I appreciate his kindness and understanding during what was a particularly stressful time in my life.
Handling of a Complex Divorce
I hired David Bach for a contentious divorce that included a few international, multi-country, financial issues and involved a sizable amount of assets to divide. While there were no minor children involved, the negotiations included difficult issues related to alimony and division of real estate and financial assets. My wife, and her attorney, raised a substantial amount of unnecessary difficulties that lengthened the process, created conflict, and caused a lot of unnecessary legal fees. Dave deftly and effectively helped me prepare a strategy and navigate the process, and we were able to reach a fair and satisfactory settlement. His calm demeanor and deep expertise greatly facilitated the process for me, and I deeply thank him for this. I would recommend him without hesitation for any divorce case, however complex.
David Bach took on my case with an iron fist. After relentlessly searching for attorneys, I found him online and he had amazing reviews. Mr. Bach was more than helpful. He was honest and upfront with me. He took the time to meet with me on numerous occasions and went over my case in detail. He was relentless in court and the outcome was favorable.
Thank you for such great service and honesty.
Legal Implications of Marriage
Working with David was a great experience. I came into his office with a very fuzzy idea about the legal implications of marriage. David patiently explained the laws and how they are typically applied, and helped me draft a clear and fair prenuptial agreement that protected what is most important to me. Highly recommended.
David brilliantly negotiated the conclusion of my marital settlement agreement. Our initial conversation felt like catching up with an old friend for advice that saved me a lot of legal fees. I wish I had met him earlier. Thanks David. I am most grateful for your service.
I highly recommend David. You will have no regrets.
