The WORST law firm
I am a Small business owner and because of that I can’t get a simple divorce as there is the business and property involved
I live close to white plains so I searched divorce lawyers and David’s law firm popped up, the website looked good and when I met with David I had a good feeling he was the right choice, he said he needed a $10,000 retainer to take my case which I initially thought was a bit high since I had heard most lawyers ask for $5000 to start, but he led me to believe $10,000 would be more then enough to get it done,
WARNING David Rosoff will run down your initial $10,000 retainer without doing much because he charges for everything he can possibly charge you for
Biggest example is I prefer to use email from my iPhone as I’m always on the run with my business and it’s quick to just send a email to him instead of trying to call and most likely him not being in the office
But Beware He actually charges $80 if you send him a email, $40 to read a email and $40 to respond to it, when I saw this in his monthly bill I couldn’t believe it
One time I sent him a email and 5 days later since he never responded so I sent the same email again
When he sent me the next months bill he charged me twice to read the same email ($80) and another $40 to respond so it cost me $120 for that one email
The only thing I see that he actually does not charge for is to send me the monthly bill
Finally when he ran my $10,000 retainer down to under $1,000 he said he was now ready to request a preliminary meeting with my wife’s lawyer in court but I had to give him another $15,000 retainer to proceed!!!
That’s $25,000 total he wanted from me for doing close to nothing so far
That was last straw and I finally got a new lawyer that took a $5000 retainer and she has moved things along much better and she doesn’t charge me $40 to read emails
AVOID THIS LAW FIRM, Unless you like to see your hard earned money go into his pockets and get close to nothing in return

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!! Took my retainer and did NOTHING for over a month. Every time I called Rosoff (i refuse to refer to him as an attorney) for an update he scrambled for my files and read back information to me from paperwork I provided them with. When I demanded a refund for my retainer I was billed for "services rendered".
