Mr. Dildy is an amazing lawyer once you start working and building a relationship with him and his paralegal you will not be disappointed. I have worked with Mr. D on all four visitation and court cases and won. Once Mr. Dildy enters the courtroom the winning zone is turned on.

On December 17th, 2025, in court room 5B, at 0900, both parties were waiting in their respective places in the court room, with the bailiff present. The judge had not yet come into the court room. Mr. Dildy and the GAL (***) were talking across the room to each other about traveling to France and speaking French. Mr. Dildy said out loud, across the court room (Ms. Carter was seated in the jury box), "Do you know why the French plant trees on both sides of the road"? Everyone in the room stopped and looked at Mr. Dildy. He proceeded to say, "so the Germans can march in the shade". Attorney *** and Dildy exchanged laughter at the punch line of the statement. This comment is extremely offensive to us since we are of German heritage. This attorney is antisemitic and I do not recommend him.

David Dildy was the worst mistake I ever made. He didn’t protect my kids, he left them in danger and told me to let things get worse to “build a case.” He avoided conflict, sympathized with the other side, and refused to act even when I had proof my children weren’t safe. Every call turned into pointless stories or Bible lessons while nothing moved forward. He lied about filing paperwork, cost me thousands, and even urinated during a phone call. Yes, seriously. I had to fight him harder than the opposing side. He doesn’t care, he doesn’t fight, and he should never represent a child again. Stay far away.

My husband hired Mr. Dildy last year for a custody case. He got him to court quickly for the emergency case and after that let the games begin. David makes excuses for why we couldn’t press concerns and other issues. He constantly says he doesn’t like to fight, he wasn’t going to throw stuff at the wall, and that he felt sorry for the other side (mother). He would tell us that by letting the children go visit her and having the bad stuff continue to happen it would only be better for court and would give us more to use against the mother We had already NUMEROUS reasons why the kids were in danger! It was an emergency case !!! He uses manipulation and fear to keep charging you money. He literally works for the other side. We fired him thank goodness after $30,000 to beg him to do his job a month before trial. We would’ve represented ourselves before letting the devil do it himself. We were more scared for him to represent us than not have an attorney at all. Crook and wicked man.

Mr. David Dildy was an extremely poor choice that I had for a lawyer. I hired him for a family member. Mr. Dildy did not return phone calls, was argumentive with me and rude. After I paid him for services he did not perform at all. One week before my family member's trial,Mr. Dildy had NO plan,No direction for how he was going to present the case. I am a Woman,and I think Mr. Dildy has issues with Women. He is very short tempered. The Judge in this case granted Mr. Dildy's removal from this case
