I found David Bliven to be completely professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my issue and give me his recommendations in moving forward. I was very pleasantly surprised with the structure of his appointments and cost of service. I would definitely recommend him.

After I abandoned my first failed attorney, I found David who quickly got done in 1 month what the previous "big shot" NYC lawyer couldn't do in 3 months and helped get my case resolved in short order there after. David is professional, straight forward and extremely well versed in all matters of a divorce case as you will read in his other client reviews. I would strongly recommend David Bliven for anyone's divorce case needs in the Westchester NY area.

Dave is always very prompt and explains every topic in regards to my child support issues. He is very clear and honest.
I had to get advice for him a couple of times already after he handled my case a few years back and I appreciate very much his assistance.

My husband and I moved across the country in 2016, and he continued paying (an absurd amount) of child support to his ex wife back in New York City. We determined that he could not go on representing himself; he would be going in at a disadvantage to his ex wife who always had legal counsel. I had no idea how hard it would be to retain a reasonably priced lawyer from across the country who was willing to work hard for my husband, understand that he could not be there in person, and who would be sympathetic to the hardships we were already facing. After calling over a dozen law offices, we had just about given up hope. But then we found David Bliven...

After a consultation with David on a Thursday, we retained him on a Monday evening, and by Wednesday morning he was at the courthouse ready to get started. It was expected that he would motion to delay the case so that he would have time to get familiar with the facts, but David wasted no one’s time and jumped right into action. With each court appearance, he made sure he had all documents needed, always came prepared and he always made it very clear which issues would be worth the effort to challenge and which would not be worth the time. David’s knowledge and acumen often made the other legal counsel look like a novice, yet he always conducted himself in a very professional manner. The pricing of his services were clear and quite reasonable, plus the paralegals in his office are also very kind and helpful.

In the end, David was able to negotiate a settlement that was fair to all parties, which is precisely what my husband wanted from the beginning. While David was helpful in resolving this matter, it will likely take some time to iron out the rest of the mess caused by my husband’s first attorney. However, when we are ready to tackle these issues in the future, we know that we can always count on David! He truly is a blessing!

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 represented me for divorcing my wife. He makes everything clear and offers good advice. His staff was always very nice and responsive. Having an office in the Bronx and White Plains was also very convenient for me.

David was very knowledgeable and gave me precise direction in regards to my case. He and his support staff were very helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help in family court proceedings.

I thank you all for helping me through one of the most challenging and difficult times of my life.

David was meticulous with his case management and provided me with the insight I needed to prepare for a long drawn out case. Although long, David was patient, knowledgeable and able to keep me informed of all the details that transpired with my case. In addition to David's professionalism, his office staff was exceptional.

Mr. Bliven is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience which makes him a valuable asset in your arsenal. I would hire him for any other Family court matters.

Methodical, alert minded and deadline conscious are just a few attributes of David's practice of law. I recommend him highly.

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!

Mr. Bliven has been representing me on a family case for a few months now. He's been punctual and very prepared to all of our court cases. Mr. Bliven is very organized and explains the law in full details to make sure you also understand. He has prompt responses to any questions you may have. Mr. Bliven's Secretaries are also very helpful and attend to the needs of the client in a professional manner. I feel greatly represented whenever we have to appear in front of the judge.

David handled my divorce for me and was very professional, accomplished all the legalities necessary without my virtually having to do anything. The process was completely in his hands, he obtained everything I wanted in the divorce and removed any obstacles the other attorney attempted. This was all accomplished in a timely manner, actually faster than I had thought and I am very appreciative.

Beyond this when I had another legal matter concerning my housing and called David he was very helpful and got me through this with advice even though this was not his usual area.

I would certainly recommend him.

David Bliven is very professional and communicates with a high level of clarity, explaining the law and how the process works. 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.

My mother is an elderly Latina women who doesn't speak English and was in need of an attorney to assist her with pension issues after her divorce. She was weary of attorneys having dealt with one who was dishonest and self-interested only caring more about money than the case or representing her properly. Mr. David Bliven Esq. and his staff were the exact opposite of what she dealt with. He and his staff were great! They were the epitome of professionalism, more importantly, they cared and they listened. Mr. Bliven Esq. was honest about what could be done versus what couldn't be done and what the expenses may look like in advance prior to us mutually deciding that it was worth moving on with this case. He gave us room to think and review our options. He was strategic and follow up was timely. We were informed of every step he took and updated via email and phone and questions were answered promptly. (In English and Spanish- Belle is AMAZING!) We got the results we expected. We will continue to work with Mr. Bliven and his team and look forward to hearing about more of his great work.

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.

I just wanted to thank David for his experience and knowledge. Right from the beginning of my complicated divorce case David explained to me pretty much what was going to happen, what to expect, and how to prepare. And preparation was the key. I was also pleased in working with his staff and Para legal assistance. I would highly recommend David for any family law matters.

David is extremely professional and thorough. He fights hard for his clients. He also makes the unpleasant experience of going to court a bit more tolerable. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong, legal advocate.

Mr. Bliven and his team were very professional and personable. I couldn't of asked for a better team to represent me during my divorce. They were always available and got things done in a timely manner. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with the great service. Thank you!

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.
