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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Julianna P.New York, NY083Sep 5, 2023
David is an incredible attorney. He helped me and my family when other attorneys gave us little to no hope with our case. He will put in the time and effort required to win, and will find a solution in even the hard to win cases. I truly appreciate all he has done for me and highly recommend him.

David was outstanding in representing me in my difficult divorce. He was available at all times and was very knowledgeable on NY laws.
When my ex demanded to push trial, he was ready to match in kind and was extremely prepared. It was very nerve wracking and I'm thankful that I had him represent me. Now over a year later my divorce has came to a close. I don't know how I would have done it without him!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - rosann s.Bronx, NY655Aug 2, 2020
David Bliven was able to do in 5 minutes what my ex husband and his lawyer have been promising to do in 6 months. He was able to expedite my needs and the services were reasonably priced. I highly recommend his services. I felt he was trustworthy, honest and straight to the point.

Over a year and a half for an uncontested divorce. In that time he drew up two documents. One of them he never sent to me and spent weeks in limbo at the end blamed me for not signing something he never notified me on. We argued and spectated. Now I'm still working the divorce myself and finding he's made two mistakes on the paper work that has held up the divorce to this day.

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!

Great lawyer alert!! I actually found David Bliven on Avvo.com while I was looking for an attorney to assist me on my paternity case. I consider myself to be a pretty intelligent person and capable of filing all required documents on my own behalf. But due to time constraints, I wasn't able to fully prepare. With that being said, my choice on choosing Mr. Bliven has been a godsend. I feel like that I'm talking to more of a colleague than a lawyer. He is very efficient, direct, logical and great at what he does and has made my paternity case process a breeze. Very professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to any family, friends and colleague's who are looking for family law based services.

I hired David after firing my previous attorney. He came in and immediately turned things around. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to clearly articulate the law. My only regret is that I didn't hire him first. Further, he is very professional and is not obnoxious in any way. A pleasure to have him on my side.

Mr. Bliven did a good job in representing me in my divorce, He and his team did all the work after my initial consultation and the fee was decent, I didn't have the time to do all that was required. it would have been even more stressful, but it thankfully it wasn't. I recommend him and would use him again myself if needed,

I would highly recommend Mr. Bliven's services to anyone going through a difficult legal situation. I found him not only reliable and knowledgeable, but also patient and compassionate. He took the time to explain what was happening every step of the way. I felt more than confident in his abilities, which took a load off my mind during a very stressful situation.
