Timothy Murphy
I hired David Findley to handle a complex property division case stemming from my divorce. His 22 years of experience and his recognition in publications like Best Lawyers in America were evident from the start. He clearly knows Texas family law inside and out, and his problem-solving approach helped us establish a realistic framework for dividing our business assets. His background at a respected firm like Orsinger, Nelson, Downing & Anderson provided solid support. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While his legal strategy was sound, I sometimes felt out of the loop. Responses to emails could take several days, and updates weren't as proactive as I would have liked for someone with his caliber. The outcome of my case was fair and professionally managed, aligning with the competent service you'd expect. Yet, for the premium level his accolades suggest, I anticipated more consistent client communication and a slightly more attentive personal touch. He is undoubtedly a skilled attorney, but managing client expectations on the procedural side would elevate the experience.
