One of the many things that make David stand out from other family law attorneys is the integral use of technology in his family law practice.
From the very beginning, David M. Lederman wanted his business model to be as efficient as possible by integrating technology into his family law practice. Using state-of-the-art technology allows his firm to provide clients with better results in a way that’s easy for them to understand. His peers acknowledge that David is Number One regarding the intersection of technology and family law: he was the technology director for the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists (ACFLS) from 2016 to 2018, and again in 2020. He’s helped write the local rules for virtual crowd practice in Contra Costa County, and his practice is well-known for its efficiency and use of technology in family law.
Clients no longer need to leave their job or make their way to a physical office to receive top-notch family law advice: David M. Lederman is happy to provide legal counsel to clients from wherever they are via video conferencing.
David also recognizes that adopting technology in their practice saves clients time and money and has a higher attendance rate for hearings than law firms that don’t use technology to their advantage. With technology, virtual hearings can be done online, and David acknowledges that trials are more efficient through technology. Law Offices of David M. Lederman came out of the pandemic better than other firms because they adopted technology early in their family law firm. David’s practice is constantly updating and using technology to its advantage to serve their clients better and help clients avoid the obstacles that come with litigation and hearing proceedings.
Knowing it is in his client’s best interests to settle their case via negotiation or mediation, David M. Lederman tries to keep his clients out of court whenever possible. However, if litigation is the best or only process for a particular case, clients can rest assured knowing their divorce case is in good hands because David has more than 25 years of experience and a successful track record as a trial attorney.
David recognizes how emotionally draining divorce can be not only for the spouses going through it but their children as well. When handling custody disputes, David and his team do everything they can to protect parents’ special bonds with their children. Preserving a healthy parent-child relationship is his ultimate goal when dealing with a child custody case. “The relationship a child has with a parent can be decimated by the family law process,” he says. “If we can avoid damaging that relationship, we will.”
Going to court can be scary and confusing – especially if you don’t have the right family lawyer to guide you through the process. Clients can breathe a sigh of relief with David M. Lederman by their side to keep them from becoming overwhelmed during the litigation process, and to minimize the financial toll of going to court.
If you’re facing a divorce-related dispute – from spousal or child support to custody to property division – you need a family law attorney with extensive litigation experience. David M. Lederman is that attorney for you. With extensive trial experience and knowledge of the San Francisco Bay Area courts, David knows how judges are likely to rule on a particular issue.
He also uses technology to help save his clients both time and money. David M. Lederman is more than prepared to fight for you in court if negotiation or mediation is not in the cards.
The Law Offices of David M. Lederman are located in Antioch, California, and Moraga, California. Thanks to technology, David can see clients from anywhere in Northern California, including Contra Costa County and Silicon Valley.
