Mr. Sternfield has provided me with sound legal advice and representation over the past three years. During this time his representation has been ethical and transparent. He has consistently seen to that my legal interests were met.

All the staff and people at this firm were knowledgeable and helpful. All my issues were resolved in as few visits as possible.

David has the classic little man syndrome and feeds on the control he gets as a GAL. Should be disbarred for bias practices and lack of due diligence.

Scumbag scammer, same result as everyone else. Stay far away from him. He will do nothing and run up the bill. Refusal to explain invoice, exorbant prices for minor tastes such as sending out an email.

I had the misfortune of encountering David Sternfield as my child's appointed guardian ad litem. He was biased and unprofessional. Sternfield did not have my child's best interest in mind. David Sternfield showed no interest in doing what was best for the child. Although he was making important decisions about the child's life, Sternfield didn't try to get to know the child who was involved in the case. Sternfield showed favoritism to the opposing attorney and her client. He charged an enormous amount of money and did not do any work toward the case. Sternfield made a major decision about the child's education, and the judge relied totally on his recommendation. Sternfield's decision negatively impacted the child's educational experience then and it continues to impact the child's education and the quality of it. I highly suggest that you do not use David Sternfield as a guardian ad litem, stay far away from him.

Never in my life would I think I would need to write a review for an attorney, however, Davids work so so incredibly horrible that I am left with no choice. Please please be aware that if you are in a case that involves children, David does not have the best interest of the child.

Court appointed guardian ad litem. Complete bias from the beginning. Did very little work at $450 per hour. Look elsewhere
