Law Offices of David Bliven

David is an experienced and professional attorney. He will help you to the best of his abilities, which are quite impressive. He will put in the effort and time required to win. I truly appreciate his hard work on my case and would hire him again. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a family court case.

When I first retained David for a legal separation, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. Family and divorce law is very confusing and without a good lawyer I was going to be thrown to the wolves. He was very responsive to me whenever I had questions or needed clarification on the legal jargon even outside of our meetings.

He was pivotal in me gaining custody of my son which was of extreme importance to me. We were able to work out a settlement that was considerably more equitable than originally sought despite the opposition attempting to run the case out of money. David is extremely knowledgeable in the law and has even written a book to answer many of the frequently asked questions.

His office staff are excellent as well and kept me informed of meetings, court appearance dates, paperwork needing attention, etc. If you are seeking help with a divorce, separation, child custody of pre-nup, reach out to David. I guarantee you that you won’t regret it.

As a state-certified domestic violence advocate, I cannot stress the importance of choosing an excellent attorney. For all of you out there who know that you’re dealing with a difficult ex, you absolutely need a lawyer like David Bliven as your ally.

David is hands down one of the best lawyers I’ve dealt with in my own high-conflict divorce and post-judgment nightmare now entering its seventh year in the legal system. He came highly recommended from a trusted lawyer and friend, who said he was the best for dealing with difficult situations like mine, involving an ex set on destruction at all costs.

David has an encyclopedic mind for the law, and this, combined with his talent for remaining calm when dealing with antagonistic people in court, is a tremendous benefit. He knows not to “take the bait” and to remain always respectful, rather than engage in mindless battle, a common technique used by less professional attorneys trying to run up their own bills.

David’s professional attitude is impressive not only to a judge, but his no-nonsense manner also saves his clients money. He is extremely organized and responsive, as is his staff. His documentation is impeccable, and his paralegals always make sure to follow-up with any questions I might have promptly.

I would highly recommend David Bliven to anyone in need of a top attorney with integrity, and especially one who specializes in handling difficult people.

Thank you so much David for all your help. David is a great lawyer that really cares about what is best for his client. He takes the time to listen to you and always answers all my questions. He is a person that will fight for you, that cares that you get what is best for you. I wished I had met you before for my divorce. I didn’t have a good experience with my divorce lawyer but with David everything was a huge difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to always call him in case that I would need him in the future. Thank you for your hard work!

Sets the bar for expertise in the area of family law. David was extremely knowledgeable and fluent in his case management, providing what I needed to not only settle my divorce , but actual understand the process. From the initial consultation to the final judgement I was well aware of the situation. David is a true scholar and gentlemen inside as well as outside the office and court room.

David is awesome, I hired David to prepare my prenuptial agreement. He’s very thorough and knowledgeable, explaining things to me every step of the way. I would highly recommend him.

I have short experience having David as my lawyer. Before I hired Mr. Bliven my case was handled by not friendly referee, and court appointed lawyer, that care less about the case, and on the top of it hostile opposing council. For me it was, I would say emergency situation after court appointed council failed my case. Luckily I could take out loan and hire David. From first meeting with referee, he put everything in order. He took my divorce case in the middle of negotiation, day or two before we supposed to have meeting with referee to sign agreement, then happened that from referee we went right to the judge, and things changed for the better. So, with his help I got out of unfavorable agreement, that could potentially jeopardize shared custody of two children. He was able to negotiate solid 50/50 custody. Very strong point with Mr. Bliven is transparency. I’ve been cc’d all communication with all parties involved. I believe he is the great expert in what he doing. Also he is strait forward about his fee. It’s not cheap, at least for me, but not overpriced.

Mr. Bliven made sure that I was prepared for all court proceedings, aware of my rights, and spoke very eloquently when defending me in court. If I ever have the need for representation in a family court matter in the future, I will definitely call David first.

Going through a divorce is tough enough. Having to choose an attorney is, well, I’m sure by now you have an idea! The uncertainty and having to ask yourself over and over… did I make the right choice. I looked at an overwhelming number of reviews on divorce attorneys and did quite a bit of research looking for one. I chose David Bliven. I couldn’t have been any happier in my choice. David is very meticulous, outgoing, and crystal clear in the way he conveys his thoughts and ideas, which helped me a great deal to gain the most of my divorce. David is a polished lawyer who knows what it takes to win, period. If you’re going through a divorce with children, know that David was the prosecutor for the NYC Administration for Children Services for 3 years. So, who better qualified to take care of your divorce than David? He’s the one you need and he will have your back. I highly recommend David Bliven. Thank you David!

He is always very prepared for court and you will feel properly represented. David is very fair and upfront around his fees and ensures you are not surprised. As with any good lawyer he is expensive but not unreasonable. In the case you get what you pay for and that is excellent legal representation and guidance.

I've known David for years, but I never inquired too much into his law practice. That changed when I needed a divorce. I had separated from my ex-wife and found myself in very scary and vulnerable place. David explained the entire process and how his firm could handle all the specifics that I found myself overwhelm by, or simply not mentally prepared to revisit. He did all he promised and more and I would recommend David's services at the drop of a dime to anyone who asks.

David was always looking out for the best interest of me and my kids. First class lawyer as well as person!!!!!
