David Mahood Attorney at Law
Why I Love Helping My Clients in Divorce and Custody Battles

I love what I do in the areas of divorce, custody, division of marital assets, and the protection of my client's rights throughout this entire process. Why would anyone love this kind of work when most divorcing litigants are motivated by bitterness, hate, revenge, jealousy, and other really bad emotions? The answer is simple: I love helping my clients with effective legal strategies empowering them to develop good emotions and a proper attitude because this helps my clients get the BEST results in their cases.



My feelings of satisfaction and contentment in this work come from seeing my clients benefit from our legal strategies and behave better as we work together for their legal good. I like the quality of goodness, in myself and my clients, and guess what? So do judges.


It brings me great satisfaction to know I'm helping my clients develop the facts and arguments which give them the greatest legal protection. This reduces the stress my clients feel and confidence in what we are accomplishing together.


I understand the desire for revenge and the tit-for-tat attitudes, which probably had a lot to do with causing the divorce or the breakup in the first place. I get it. I really do. But you are beyond that now. Once you become my client, I do everything in my power to calm my clients down, to give them reasons to see light at the end of the tunnel, and behave with respect, because this will inspire the judge to make decisions in our favor.


You have to trust me on this, because if you let your heart control you and force you to do mean things to the other party during litigation, the judge will hurt you in court. So just trust me on this point: I do know what I'm talking about.


And you do want to win, right? You do want to persuade the court to make decisions that favor you, right? Then follow my advice, and let me guide you through the morass of bad emotions, and together we can do this the right way. The end goal is so the judge will like you, respect you, and desire to give you what you request.


No attorney wins every case. But I can promise you that if you follow my advice, you will have a great shot at getting what you want. While there are no guarantees, you will be strengthened to present your best case, with the best arguments and the best facts you can find.
