I cannot say enough great things about David and his team. Needing an attorney was never something I thought Id need, but having reached that point, I am so grateful to have had the David Alexander Law Firm referred to me. They helped me navigate through a painful process and made sure my needs were addressed. It was a long journey, and they helped me through it every step of the way. They are amazing people and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and care for their clients.

It s not often I can say that I ve enjoyed working with an attorney. The David Gottfried Alexander Law Firm was outstanding. I felt heard, understood and empowered. The firm has a deep understanding of Texas property law. The firm was a tremendous asset to me in my litigation. I would hire the firm again! And I would recommend that you give them a call to explore your legal issues

David Gottfried is an outstanding attorney. We have used his services for over 30 years. We have had all kinds of issues he has resolved successfully. Whether it was an employee who tried to take clients away from our firm after quitting, or a client who stopped paying for a horse, or a company who refused to pay what was owed, and most recently an investment company who mishandled the investment- David Gottfried has solved the problem. Beyond being the best attorney, he is an outstanding human being. Ask yourself how many attorneys you can say that about. I cannot say enough good things about David or his firm.

Used this firm last year that claimed to specialize in STR licensing. It felt more like an uncle that has his own Airbnb giving advice. Mixing up 101 fundamentals on the laws ie. Type 1 and 2 almost to the extent I wad educating him. I m glad my business partner wasn t on the call because that was poor due diligence and embarrassing. He rushed me off the call within 45 minutes. Then followup was weak.

Meghan walked us through our second parent adoption and referred us to a social worker that would help us too! Talking with her during the initial consultation was easy and very natural! She never made us feel rushed and always answered honestly! My wife and I loved Meghan and her team!! They made sure to make us feel heard and always available to us when we need them! They treated us with respect and made us feel very comfortable and confident in them! We will most definitely use her again in the future!! I feel this process was so smooth and way thanks to Meghan!!

Meghan and Taunya were absolutely incredible and helpful throughout our second parent adoption process. They clearly explained every step and it s reason. When we went to Austin to finalize everything, the process was stress free and a joy. I appreciate them so much and I definitely recommend this law firm for queer familial needs, especially with how Texas is going.

Meghan was so great! We did second parent adoption for our daughter, and Meghan made it so simple and easy! She got us through the whole process without ever having to take more than 20 minutes out of any day. Taunya is always a pleasure to talk to and SO helpful! Going through the process and the money were both worth it for the peace of mind!

THE LGBT LAW FIRM TO CHOOSE EVEN IF YOU RE NOT MARRIED! We love love love this law firm! They were very efficient and QUICK with everything. Our adoption was finalized a little over a month after my son was born (delayed due to NICU stay). Thank you guys for making this process a breeze for UNMARRIED COUPLES!

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. We just completed our second second parent adoption. The first was this Suzanne Bryant (an absolute rockstar) but between our kids she retired from adoption proceedings and recommended Meghan. Despite having big shoes to fill, Meghan and her team were flawless. They made a potentially onerous task a breeze, completing our adoption less than two months after our babe was born. Additionally, Meghan kindly advised us on getting all of the necessary estate planning docs (not just wills) in order to protect our LGBT family no matter what happens in the political climate. I cannot recommend Meghan and her team enough!

What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We used Meghan for our adoption and the amount of service and support we received was one of a kind. We reached out to several lawyers and we knew the moment we had the phone consult with Meghan, this was the team we wanted to work with. They worked with us financially on all aspects, gave us a great referral for our social worker and were on top of the entire process. I always have a lot of questions and every time I did and emailed them, they were fast responding, great communicating and I knew exactly where we were and what the next step was throughout the entire process. It was overall a wonderful experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Gottfried Alexander Law Firm, in my experience (over the potential legal issues I faced over the past several years) provided absolutely brilliant advice and counsel and helped work through the stresses involved in being sued by money-hungry unscrupulous individuals. They guided and explained thoughout the entire process and made key moves during the proceedings that avoided unnecessary legal fees and courtroom time. This saved considerable funds over the course of the lawsuit. The research performed was exceptional. They looked at every angle and insured we were positioned for advantage at every turn and there were many. In the end, we were able to limit our legal fees and the case was dropped due to Gottfrieds knowledge of the law and great experience in handling these suits. Its great to know there are lawyers of this caliber and ethical standard in Austin, Texas.

When my husband and I found ourselves hoodwinked in a home purchase, we did not know where to turn. We felt punched in the gut, angry, hopeless and a bit stupid. Our heads were spinning and we didn t know where to turn. David Gottfried was recommended to us, so we called and he agreed to take our case. We d never been in a situation like this before and were very stressed and had a million questions throughout the whole process. To us every moment, everyday was an eternity, but the lawsuit was actually concluded in our favor in a relatively short amount of time, especially considering the climate these days. When David took our case, he explained to us everything he was going to do and the possible outcomes. He did everything he said he was going to do without running up a huge tab. He and his team also graciously fielded all of our neurotic, stressed out questions daily. We are SO grateful to have been guided to him in this matter. I highly recommend!!!

I cannot thank David, and the rest of group at Gottfried Alexander Law Firm - Austin, TX for their advocacy. David is as sharp as a whip and one of the hardest working lawyers in Austin I know. He recognized the challenges that we were faced with during these unpredictable times. His sympathy, paired with his fierce determination ultimately brought me a win! If you are looking for a lawyer in Austin with endless knowledge and intelligence in their field, look no further than Gottfried Alexander Law Firm. David is the most compassionate, determined, and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with.

Are by far the best lawyers in Austin I have ever dealt with. They are very experienced and knowledgeable. From the first time meeting them, they were very welcoming, kind, compassionate, and always kept me up to date with any new developments in my case. Anytime I ever called the law firm, I received a call back within a short period of time. Their paralegal always emailed me with updates and provided quick answers to any of my questions. In the future, Gottfried Alexander Law Firm in Austin will be handling all of my legal needs, and I strongly suggest you hire them to handle yours. I give them the highest recommendation.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and responsive attorney I recommend David Gottfried. He helped me navigate a David vs. Goliath dispute -- alas I was David. Ben provided expert counsel and education. He listened and helped me understand different options I could pursue. Leveraging his experience he deftly worked with me to properly set my expectations. He made it easy to understand what Goliath could and could not do. Davids responsiveness was amazing; it seemed like he was on call. I reached out to him for guidance at random times on different days. If he was available he picked up the phone. If he was not available, I received a call back right away. I highly recommend Gottfried Alexander Law Firm - Austin, TX amazing attorney!

Where do I begin... The Gottfried Alexander law firm has the best lawyers there is in Austin! They are personable, knowledgeable and hands down great at what they do. They have been in business for years fighting for their clients and continue to fight for their clients until this day. Meghan Alexander gets my vote for attorney of a lifetime! She builds relationships with her clients in order to represent them even better. She handled my case with knowledge, perseverance and with everything it took to be victorious. If you want lawyers who are dedicated, knowledgeable and well qualified to represent you, then look no further than Gottfried Alexander Law Firm in Austin!

Gottfried Alexander Law Firm is the first firm that I visited here in Austin and they are fantastic! I had an excellent experience with David and the support he gave was absolutely flawless and timely. He was able to fully answer all of my questions and had a wealth of knowledge. He was able to think through things that I had not thought about and he gave me all of the information I needed to make informed decisions on how to move forward. Outstanding work, I will be recommending this law firm to family and friends in Austin. They are the best, Thank you!

I enlisted Meghan Alexander of the Gottfired Firm as my divorce attorney based on recommendations from some women I knew. She answered my questions in the beginning, and I decided to go with an uncontested divorce, which seemed like the least painful option. These types of divorces are particularly hands-off from the attorney, which I understood, and I was prepared to have minimal contact with her. However, she seemed to miss some pretty important aspects of the process, and when I would check in with questions, her aim seemed to be to remind me that I was unimportant to her book of business. The onus was on me to ask about deadlines or processes, and when I did check in, she would tell me she was very busy -- too busy to handle my issues, apparently (unless it was an invoice!). Also, the advice she did give me seemed poorly considered and sloppy. For instance, she advised me that I didnt need to include my house in the divorce decree because my husband wasnt going to contest my ownership of it; however, he did sign paperwork for it when we bought it, and I learned on my own that I would have to get him to relinquish rights to it. I had to ask my title company what they would want to ensure he has no claim to the property. They told me a warranty deed would do the trick. I then had to pay Meghan an extra fee to create that warranty deed. She also didnt tell me that I needed to have my ex-husband sign the paperwork in-person (a wet signature) and have it notarized. I had to hire the notary myself and organize the meeting; she still hasnt told me what to do with the paperwork once its signed. Also, my divorce was finalized nearly a month ago and the clerk didnt tell her, which I understand, since everyone is so busy. However, I would not have found out I was officially divorced if I hadnt asked Meghan what was taking so long, prompting her to ping the clerk. I have to file benefits changes within 30 days of the life change event, which means I was very close to having my ex-husband on my benefits for the rest of the year until open enrollment. Overall, Meghan seems competent, but she just didnt find my case important enough to give it any thought or concern. I dont think I would recommend this firm unless youve gone through a divorce before and dont need any help or interaction with your attorney. I almost feel like I could have done some Googling and handled the divorce myself.

Great service. Mr Gottfried is very fair and very honest. He takes his time to discuss your case and honestlly review your case. He will willingly let you know if he can or can not do your case justice, based on the facts, and will guide you in the best direction.

We recently used The Gottfried law firm for a real estate/builder issue. It was much longer and more frustrating process than we could have ever imagined but we could not have been happier to have David and Tara on our side. Front our very first meeting they were 100% honest and accountable at all times even when we didnt want to hear the news they were delivering at some points. They took the time to explain the reasoning behind their actions and requests. They always kept us pointed in the right direction even when our personal feelings started to take us a little off track. We worked with Tara Gillespie a lot and could not have been happier with her responsiveness and attention to detail. While we hope to never have to work with them again if it should happen they would be our first choice.

I am an attorney in Austin and have been practicing since 1993. I Met David in 1998 while working on a case together. Since that time I have referred dozens of civil cases to David. Clients that I refer to David are those that know me personally and are always very grateful that I gave them David Gottfrieds contact information. Not only have clients provided confirmation of Davids good work, I have personally followed up on many of the cases I referred him. David is friendly, intelligent, reliable and a fantastic attorney in many areas of civil law. I would encourage anyone with a civil legal issue to contact David Gottfried as I know he will do fantastic legal work for them.
