David F. Stoddard Law Firm

If it were possible to give ZERO stars, I absolutely would. Do NOT waste your time and especially your money on this sorry excuse for an attorney. I personally know that this man does not do the work that he's hired to do, is not professional, does not represent his clients to the best for THEM in court, and doesn't recuse himself when there are conflicts of interest. He doesn't care about the people, he just wants their money. You can rest assured Mr. Stoddard, there WILL be a civil suit for you to answer to. Someone's rights were not taken seriously, and they have paid a very long steep price for something that NEVER happened. Something that you could have and should have EASILY PROVEN, but you were too LAZY to even gather all of the discovery on. You instead depended on that of the pro

I was shocked to see the customer reviews David F Stoddard got before hiring him for my SSDI Claim. But he turned my fears into a great experience. The overall service I got from this firm was up to the mark. David did an outstanding job for me and my family and I can not thank him enough. He was very down to earth and knowledgeable regarding my case. I would recommend him to friends and family.

This assessment follows a comprehensive review. While Mr. David Stoddard presented a pleasant demeanor, his communication responsiveness was deficient. We engaged his services in 2022 for our grandson's adoption, following a positive experience with a prior divorce case. However, his attention to this adoption was inadequate. We repeatedly had to request updates instead of receiving them proactively. Our primary concern was ensuring our participation in the adoption process. Even after over a year, a court date remained undetermined, with Mr. Stoddard citing court backlog. My concern escalated as communication decreased, confirming my apprehension. Despite assurances of diligent representation, I lost confidence in the information provided. In August 2023, I formally expressed my d

This is review I never wanted to do. I hired him in October 2022. He is a very nice man but will not return, emails or texts. When I did speak with him, he would cut me off quickly. As another review states. He also called me at 11pm the night before court, my affidavit was wrong after I sent a very detailed affidavit. He didn't serve one of the parties to the case. I fired him last week. My new attorney knows how to serve the party. The case filed in October of 2022 was dismissed because of the 365 day rule. He didn't know when the case was filed. Please do your due diligence before hiring any attorney. A paralegal would be a great help instead of getting an answering service. Again a review I didn't want to do. I saw my new attorney today.

I paid David to represent me in a child custody case and realized pretty quickly that it was a mistake. During the time that I was working with David, I didn't know what was going on in my case. I felt like I was asking a lot of questions to understand what I was going through and what was coming up and didn't receive adequate answers. He would tell me just to be myself and tell the truth. That is great advice, but something I would do anyways. I felt very unprepared walking into everything I did. I ended up using the internet and my therapists (who specialized in therapy for family issues) advice more than anything. After about 10 very silent months, I changed counsel to an amazing attorney in Greenville instead. My new attorney reached out to David many, many times to get the documents t
