About David Centeno Law
David Centeno Law works from Broadway and publishes a flat fee for an uncontested divorce, which two firms in this ranking do. It names no attorney on the pages we could read, so what is missing is its own roster rather than its prices.
267 reviews at 4.8. It explains nine stages of a matrimonial case, and tells a reader what a contested divorce costs elsewhere: that most contested divorce attorneys ask a retainer of five to twenty thousand dollars. That is useful writing about the market and it is not the firm's own price, so it is recorded as what it is.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
4.8 average over 268 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
