David represented me in a child support case and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. David is articulate, understanding, and VERY knowledgeable of the laws. He and his assistant were always prompt in returning my calls and thoroughly answered any questions I had. He gave good advice & had my best interest at heart. I highly recommend his services!

Great attorney!!! Extremely professional. I was amazed how he and his staff remembered all the details throughout the case, and he dominated the trial. Worth every penny.

I was under a lot of stress and when I met Mr. Caveda he immediately helped me understand the process. Also his staff was very easy to communicate with. Thank you .

Mr. Caveda and his team,Helped me through the most difficult time of my life. I couldn’t imagine a better attorney to have at your side.

- Tom Tagliavia

David is definitely a lawyer you want on your side; he's not only brilliant and out of the box thinker (all within the law), he has the ability very few attorneys have: David not only connects client's punctual legal needs; he connects with client's from within: A compassionate attorney (one in a million).

I was very fortunate to have been represented by David Caveda. In addition to providing excellent advice and counsel, he took the time to listen and show genuine concern about my case.

Mr Caveda and his Assistant Pam were both excellent. They helped me with a child custody case and I am very happy with their services.

Great caring staff.

My ex-wife petitioned the court to relocate with my daughter ... to Japan. Although it is a signatory, Japan does not readily and normally cooperate with the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. Adding to that the fact that the Hague Convention only applies to children removed "illegally", if my ex received permission from the court to take my daughter there, I likely would have never seen her again. Japanese courts "take" jurisdiction for such cases. I would have had to travel to Japan, hired a Japanese lawyer, and pursued the matter through Japanese court. Bottom line is, if my daughter was taken to Japan, our relationship would've been permanently severed.As a disabled vet, single parent, and full-time student, I had no idea how I would pay for any lawyer to see the case through to completion. David knew this but he took on my case anyways. He promised to work with me on the money ... and he did.We won. David saved my relationship with my daughter. He frequently caught my ex in many of her web of lies. He successfully addressed all the points of consideration in a relocation case. He told me what he had to tell me and didn't blow smoke up my dress. He met me at times and for lengths of time that were likely not very convenient for him to prep for hearings. He always appeared in court prepared to litigate with a good grasp on the issues. I was very impressed and am very grateful to David. I would recommend David to anyone who wants to preserve their relationship with his/her child.There are many scumbag lawyers out there. I honestly believe David is an exception to the rule.THANK YOU, DAVID!!!!!!!

In the realm of family law I learned it's important, yet no so easy to gong an honest lawyer that won't add stress to the process. Atty. Caveda was sincere, professional, in tune with current statutes and invested just enough in getting to know about the workings of my family life to service my case. While my hope is to never need representation again, I would entrust him with the process if so.

I started my divorce with little to no knowledge or experience in family law. My ex husband had me under the false pretense that he had the upper hand in getting everything he wanted in regards to timeshare and Custody of our son. I was very fearful that I would be left with very scant timeshare and no say over what happens with our son. I had had several consultations with other attorneys and was very close to picking a different attorney for representation, but I came across David's profile and decided he seemed experienced and scheduled my consultation shortly after. I'm so glad I did! It was a brief consultation, however, I felt so confident in his ability and my case from just a few minutes of talking with him. He was very wise in his field and had asked about and discussed things other attorneys hadn't even mentioned, and I had a great sense that he knew exactly how my case was going to play out. He was a bit more expensive than the other attorneys, but they worked with me on my retainer, and he was completely and totally worth every dime. I won't ever regret spending what I spent for my divorce. He was able to finalize everything with me only having to spend a little over my retainer. He also was more than happy to quickly intervene a mistake I had made in my paperwork, and hastily produced an ammendment fixing everything I needed and then some. He was very eloquent in his documentation and presentation and that helped in getting my ex husband to agree on things I know he otherwise wouldn't have. I was very pleased with my overall divorce agreements. I now have my son the majority and my ex husband and I share all decision making abilities. David is excellent to work with. He listens well and is very knowledgeable and experienced and made me feel very confident in my case from start to finish. I'd also like to note, that his assistant Pamela is equally great. She was on top of all of my documents and court hearings and made sure I was always in the loop. Great experience alltogether. I strongly recommend David Caveda and his practice to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He won't let you down.

I just want to say that David help so much in my case. Extremedly professional and ! I would recommend him in a minute!

While going through a nasty custody battle with another attorney who simply couldn't get the job done, I called Mr. Caveda for a 2nd opinion. I have to say that was the best decision I ever made, Mr Caveda took over my case and cleaned everything up in a matter of 3 months! This man is articulate, law savvy & he does exactly what he says he will do. After hiring David I no longer worried about my case, finally I could get peace of mind & rest. In the end I retained sole custody of my 7 yo child. I would highly recommend Mr. Caveda it would be a mistake not to call this man. GREAT HONEST ATTORNEY!

If I ever need an attorney then David Caveda would be my pick... I used him for an non contested divorce and thing could not have went smoother..Reasonable and extremely easy to get your questions answered (from him and not an assistant) were two requirements.. From start to finish was less than 2 months. Before you make a decision it would be very wise just to give him a call. You will be convinced as I was...

- Jack

Attorney Caveda was thorough and able to make all the changes that I wanted to the custody modification. He outlined, very clearly, all the things that he needed from me. He achieved our goal and I was static with the results. He kept me informed of all the deadlines and eventualities. He walked me through the process and helped me stay focused and calm. He reinstated my faith in the system. Thank you Mr. Caveda

After wasting my money on a "flat rate firm" that didn't even look at my case a friend of mine directed me to Mr. Caveda and I could not be more happy. Mr. Caveda helped me not to win my share parenting case but to get to that happy medium where I was pretty comfortable and where my son was not affected with the agreement. I have to say that he not only helped me professionally but he also helped me emotionally. He gave me great advices when I wanted to say outrageous things to the other part or ask for non sense agreements in regards to the case. He also has children therefore he understands what is to be a parent. He's an awesome attorney and a great human being and he will always be there for you!

David did a great job working for a settlement in my case and he got a very desireable outcome. he always kept me informed and worked well with me on many levels. This was not an easy negotiation and he did a nice job with opposing council and in the end that saved me money. David is definately not an attorney who just drives up the bill. I would highly endorse David

- JP

David helped me to get primary custody of my daughter. My daughters mother made ALOT of allegations about me that simply were not true and David was able to make the judge realize that. He is not the cheapest lawyer but you cant put a price on winning custody of your child or children. I recommend him to anyone that is looking for a good attorney.

- Michael

David handled our case with expertise and ease. He explained everything and made the entire process seem easy. He kept us informed and did everything he said he would do.

Mr. Caveda represented me in a highly contested custody case were my wife refused to recognized my rights as a father. He really knows the laws and is great in court. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and would recommend him highly.

I just had a phone consultation with David Caveda. I have been struggling financially after separating from an abusive husband. While I was not able to hire him because of my finances my experience was very positive. He was very professional, sensitive to my situation, thoughtful and informative.

I decided to hire his firm after reading their testimonials. Attorney Caveda was thorough, informative, quick and totally amazing in court. He not only won our case but our also our hearts. Thank you for all your hard work.

- María Pulido

Amazing human being with an extensive repertoire for the law. David and his firm has helped my closest friends & family. He will always be the one to help anyone I know and love. If you’re reading this review you’re a lucky individual for finding the right place.

After speaking with several other lawyers before talking to David, it was refreshing talking to someone who really understood my situation as a retired military person being married for over 27 years, David was very good at listening to all my concerns and he was able to answer any questions I had, we were able to go with just mediation instead of having to go to court. His insight to how things would go and experience were exceptional and right on point throughout the mediation. He never tried to make my case go any longer than it needed and I was never charged for any service I didn't receive. I would personally use David again if needed and would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for a divorce lawyer, he was a honest and extremely knowledgeable of Florida Law.

- Matthew Brewster

I had a horrible experience with a previous attorney handing my family legal matter. I contacted Mr. Caveda for consultation and reviewing the case. Mr. Caveda demonstrated a superb attorney who truly cared about my case, not about the money. He is affordable, dedicated and extremely diligent. He actively communicated with me and provided answers and explanations in detail. I'll certainly use him again in the future. Highly recommended Mr. Caveda for family legal matters.

- Andy Nguyen

I have mediated for David Caveda many times and find him to be knowledgeable, patient, and a zealous advocate for his client. He and his clients are always well prepared for mediation, and David takes the time to ensure his clients have the tools necessary to make informed decisions. I highly recommend the Caveda Law Firm.
