I hired David to represent me against my ex in Divorce, Custody and Support cases in Philadelphia. He was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He got me results and his fees were very reasonable. I have recommended him to two friends who are in a similar situation.

I was recommended to Mr. Averett by a friend who had used him in the past. He was responsive to my calls and emails. He got me the result I wanted in my divorce and custody cases. I would use him again and I would recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you, Dana W.

David represented me for divorce, support and custody in Philadelphia. He is always prepared, caring and responsive to my calls and emails. Divorce cases can be very stressful and he is always calm, cool and collected. This is very important when your marriage and children are at issue. I would use him again

David worked hard for me and was available to talk to me when I needed him. Thanks to him I am fully participating in my child's life. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney you can trust and rely on.

Has been my attorney for 5 years now...has helped me obtain spousal support and is currently my counsel for a divorce. He is not very aggressive when it comes to fighting for what i am asking for. He just goes with the flow so to speak

Well he s very nice guy he treated me very kind and very capacitive however when we went to court he didn't fight for me. He was very passive and didn't say much. I know next time to get a lawyer that only practice in one specific area.

David was recommended by my second husband while I was divorcing my first husband. He handled my divorce to my first husband and then the prenup for my second marriage. Unfortunately, my second husband set me up to take all my money then leave me. Guess who represented my second husband in the divorce? Yes, David Averett. I feel like they conspired from the beginning to drain me of my money and I would not trust him to represent anyone. He is a snake and a liar and does business with very shady characters. Do not trust him.

David was very unresponsive leading up to the court dates and extremely passive allowing the other party to get everything that they were seeking. He tried to bill me extra for extensions that he allowed the other party to have saying that wasn't in the original fees. Do not use this lawyer!

I hired David for a family law case, he was very unresponsive. There were times I had to email him 2-3 times before getting a response. The day of the hearing after going to his office, ultimately my hearing was postponed. I'm fighting for something really important so I decided to go in another direction with a different attorney because honestly the guy just doesn't seem to care. I told him that I hired someone else and asked for a portion of my retainer back and the guy refused to refund me any of my money even though my hearing was postponed and he never represented me. Which is pretty shady and dishonest. I WOULD NOT recommend anyone hiring this guy for anything. Don't waste your money like I did. I learned the hard way to never again hire a jack of all trades lawyer. Its better to hire someone that just specializes in family law as opposed to someone that handles accidents, family law, bankruptcy and whatever else.
